I was walking past Levain Bakery on the Upper West Side when I saw this gorgeous woman sitting on the bench outside. She was born in Argentina, but has been in New York most of her adult life. Being a long time resident of the UWS I asked her if the bakery was any good. She told me that she had never been there, but that she was using the laundromat next store. I picked up a cookie for us to share and then wished her a beautiful afternoon.
Every time I run into this marvelous lady I am blown away by how wonderful she looks. She proves that there is no excuse to not always try and look your best. Next time I see her I hope to find out more about her style inspiration and life story.
At 91 years old, Iris Apfel is busier than most people half her age. She told me that the secret to her success is her sense of curiosity. When it comes to learning and personal style, Iris proclaims, “More is more and less is a bore.”
The other day I was walking through Union Square when I spotted this gorgeous woman. I rushed through the crowds and finally caught up with her and asked if I could take her photo. We exchanged cards so hopefully you will see a lot more of her very soon!
