Where does Sunny live?
The main playground
for all of the girls of the card line is the city.
I chose New York as their home, of course,
because of the shopping, excitement and glamour ...
there's nowhere quite like New York!
But just as Ooh La Frou Frou girl Aimee
loves and frequently travels to
Paris ...

Ooh La Frou Frou girl Belle

Sunny is a city girl
originally from California.
Since Ooh La Frou Frou is all about glamorous fantasy,
whenever the winter weather is simply too much for Sunny,

Since Ooh La Frou Frou is all about glamorous fantasy,
whenever the winter weather is simply too much for Sunny,
she becomes a California Girl
until the weather starts behaving itself again!
I think we'd all like that lifestyle, don't you?
Her exciting apartment you'll learn about today
is her city apartment in New York.

In Sunny's "California Girl" post,
she mentioned that she loves the girls to visit her
when she's flies back to California.
These are two of the "California" things
the girls like to do together:

These are two of the "California" things

with wind in their hair, soaking in all of the sights ...
like the gorgeous homes of Beverly Hills ...

In the "California Girl" post,
she even showed us
how a California girl looks inconspicuous
if she finds a movie star or two sitting next to her
while doing lunch at "The Ivy" ...

she simply peers at them
ever-so-slyly

When back at home in New York, Sunny loves to spend
summer days at the beach and pool too ...

leisurely summer weekends at Long Beach and The Hamptons ...
too lovely, don't you think?

Are you wondering where Sunny lives in New York?
Sunny's a modern kind of girl.
I've chosen for Sunny
a glamorous co-op apartment in a luxurious hotel
with the view of Central Park:
The place she calls home is
The Mark
on the corner of 77th and Madison Avenue ...

Can't you just see Sunny going to and from this elegant entrance?
And it's so very nice that it's also home
to the world's most famous hairstylist Frederic Fekkai ...
what could be more convenient .. a salon at your doorstep!

As you know,
I've been creating just a quick rough illustration
of the entrances of each of the girls' apartments
for their Glamorous Reviews and here's the quick sketch of
Sunny's glamorous entrance ...
~ And here's a little treat ~
I think you'll adore this little film
brought to us by The Mark called
brought to us by The Mark called
"Life At The Mark"
as much as I do ...
The Mark, originally built in 1927, recently went through
a very avant-garde restoration by famous French designer
When you enter, you'll first be awed by the
dramatic graphic striping of the marble floors
and a dramatic black marble spiral staircase ...
You never know who you'll see in New York ...
scenes from the movie "Have You Heard About the Morgans"
starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant
were filmed at The Mark ...

The Mark has 118 rooms for guests and 42 luxurious co-op apartments.
Attention to detail is what The Mark is known for ...
the house staff is outfitted by Turnbull & Asser of London ...
If you were to visit Sunny at The Mark,
these are some of the things you'd enjoy:
A lovely view of Central Park ...

... monograms, monograms, monograms ...

... silky soft Frete Italian linens adorning the beds ...
via
... marble luxury in the baths ...
via
... not your ordinary mini-bar ...
(should we call it a maxi-bar?)
... and a dramatic glass floor-to-ceiling wine cellar
connecting the Restaurant to the Bar ...
Ahhhh, Sunny's glamorous life at The Mark.
