Yesterday, like every first Saturday of summer, was the MERMAID PARADE 2014!

I had loved it so much last year that Romain and I had decided to do it “for real” this time, we had planned to dress up and everything! Unfortunately, Romain is in North Carolina for work. I was a bit disappointed but still very excited, and I decided to go with my camera and a lot of sunscreen on to Coney Island to bring you many pictures.

Creativity, humor and cheerfulness were the … READ MORE

What a nice surprise when I woke up yesterday morning to see that New York was wrapped in a lovely white blanket! The first snow of the year! After the storm, there was a beautiful and magical light.

I took my courage and my camera, I put so many clothes on that I looked like nothing (multiple layers mode! On my legs : wool and cashmere tights, Uniqlo Heattech legging and warm pants, a pair of thick socks, and a pair of UGG! On top : Uniqlo Heattech long sleeves t-shirt, a cashmere sweater and a chunky wool sweater, a … READ MORE

My dear Célinette arrived in New York a few days ago. She always has good plans, and she’s the one who told me I should go take a look at Dyker Heights Christmas Illuminations in Brooklyn (her article here). The least you could say is it’s really worth the trip!

As she had told me, the people in the neighborhood try to outdo each other by decorating their houses in the most creative or kitsch manner. And that’s how this middle-class suburb turns into a magical amusement park for kids… and for grown-ups! All the houses are covered with … READ MORE

This week-end, we decided to escape from New York madness for two days, in order to discover something different about the USA. We had many ideas that were eliminated by common sense or delayed because of the weather, and we finally chose to go to Atlantic City.

Atlantic City is a town from New Jersey, often compared to Las Vegas because of the casinos.

It actually made me think of Coney Island, plus casinos. So I kind of liked it !

Plans for the week-end :

– walking on the boardwalk, the beach and the piers – especially the Steel … READ MORE

Saturday June 22nd was the traditional Coney Island Mermaid Parade.

Being an absolute fan of Coney Island and its legendary craziness, I was there, with my little camera and an appropriate outfit that I will show you very soon. It was really worth the trip !

Each mermaid was more original than the others, and there was a lot of glitter, fun and good humour. The aim of the event was to raise funds to help reconstruct Coney after the hurricane Sandy ravaged the area last october.

Thousands and thousands of spectators, sometimes as dressed up as the people in … READ MORE
