My Friday started with an MRI.

(You’re probably wondering “how does that qualify as a treat?” Just trust me.)

After I got my head examined, I had to run some other personal errands so I took the day off. It was a beautiful day in NYC – very unlike our typical Augusts – and I was feeling better than I have most days since the concussion.

Last Friday was also payday. It felt like a perfect Treat Yo Self day.

I started with breakfast-for-lunch at Delicatessen. If you go there, order bacon. Theirs is so good.

After brunch, I was ready to shop.

I went to Bloomingdale’s SoHo and got this Marc by Marc Jacobs black tote to replace my new-but-already-ratty Banana Republic bag.

I also got this cute Rebecca Minkoff quilted leather bag.

OK so I didn’t stop there.

I also got a pair of Belle by Sigerson Morrison sandals which I, unfortunately, can’t find online. These are the shoes I was looking for but, alas, Bloomingdale’s didn’t have my size.

The best part was the sales: I spent less than $400.

OK maybe the best part was the whiskey sour I had Friday night at Bowery Hotel. But that’s another story.
