After being on the waiting list forever, we finally got a storage space in the basement of our apartment building!

Sorry if that was anti-climactic for some of you folks, but I couldn’t be more thrilled.  Anyone who’s familiar with NYC real estate knows that storage space comes at a high-premium, so I consider myself super-lucky.

I spent the better part of last weekend carefully placing my shoes into boxes, neatly arranging books and dvds, and deftly packing my out-of-season garments.  Redecorating my apartment has been on my short-list of priorities for a while now, but I first needed to clear out all of the clutter to get a handle on the situation.  With the yucky part out of the way, I can now move on to the fun stuff!

P.S. I linked this post up with Inside Jewelscapes!

When: Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Where: Waiting for the Spa Castle shuttle bus in Queens

What: Dress ($20 Liberty of London for Target clearance sale), shoes ($30 Payless), handbag ($55 Junior Drake via HauteLook), earrings ($13.50 Privileged via HauteLook) shades ($9 Brooklyn street fair)

Yesterday, I decided to treat my husband to a surprise day at the spa.  So off we went to Spa Castle.  The experience was amazing!  For less than $100/person, we enjoyed back massages, 7 different types of saunas, Asian acupressure, an outdoor Bade massage pool, and a traditional Korean lunch.  Oh, and they also had a room where you could lie down and watch your own personal television while getting a foot and arm massage!

Since the day was all about relaxation, I just threw on my favorite summertime uniform: a cute sundress and comfy sandals.  In this case, the comfy sandals were a rare find from Payless.  They’re made out of real leather, and have withstood the test of time (I’ve had them for almost 5 years).  Just goes to show that expensive does not always equal better as I’ve spent way more on other shoes that have fallen apart after just one season.
