Overheard at Black Market in the East Village:

Alexa Chung, dressed in chelsea boots, black skinny jeans, a Saint James Breton stripe jumper, Louis Vuitton scarf and black sunglasses, dining with a group of friends -  several recognisable such as Matthew Hitt and Tennessee Thomas. Alexa refers to herself as a “mad spinster” several times. In deep discussion about how Alexa is ready to start dating again but needs to increase her standards, although she will find it hard to trust anyone after being “betrayed” by Alex, who she thought was her soul mate. She had “no idea” he had fallen for Arielle, who they refer to as “Michael Jackson”, and she is still hurt by his actions. “I never thought I would be cheated on and dumped - in retrospect, maybe I knew towards the end, but was in denial.” Tennessee wraps Alexa in a hug, while the rest of the group play on iPhones and eat. Alexa, however, sips on orange juice and except for a bite of avocado and nibbling absent mindedly on a French fry, eats nothing. She is also overheard saying she “is scared of dating” and thinks her hair looks “shit”.
