Out and About

The weather has been insane here! It gets super hot and humid, rains like crazy, cools down for a bit, then gets super hot again. But I'm dealing. Here I'm wearing a Calista lace blouse, vintage shorts, and my favorite Free People dress. I haven't been doing much shopping at all here in New York. Sorry, but the vintage in LA is soo much better and a lot more affordable. I'm constantly roaming the streets, finding new places that I think are my favorite, until I come across something even better. Central Park is definitely one of my favorite places to take photos though. The light is always just right! I've also just been taking the subway everywhere. Uptown. Downtown. Taking random photos everywhere I go! That orange dessert you see there was something called "coconut custard with mango flavor" which I got at an Indian restaurant. (You probably noticed I LOVE Indian food. and Indians hehe). Well, this dessert was the funniest combo and I was a bit confused by it's title. But, it was so damn good!! I'm a bit desperate to go back for more of that goodness in the Lower East Side. Yesterday, I took a break from the city and decided to take a mini day trip to Baltimore, Maryland, a place I thought I'd never thought I'd find a reason to go. It was kind of a spur of the moment decision between my sister and I. So we ran to the Megabus and headed over there. It was so different from what I expected, but Inner Harbour was absolutely beautiful. We got some really great shots over there as well that I'll post soon! Enjoy your week everyone!

Check out my playlist made on the online radio station Songza HERE! Just a few of my favorite songs! It's pretty much a mix of the old, new, and everything else in between! Enjoy!

These Streets

More photos of my journey here in New York City. It's been hot and pretty wet so I've been wearing a lot of dresses and denim shorts. The shorts and blouse are vintage while the black lace dress, one of my favorites, is by Wren! It's crazy, it definitely feels like summer, but once I went to Brooklyn Heights, it looked like Fall! The parks were covered in leaves, it was cloudy, and just so beautiful and calming. Brooklyn Heights is one of my favorite places ever. It has such gorgeous Brownstone apartments and is very close to the water. I've been trying a lot of different foods here as well. My sister and I tried a new Indian restaurant in Greenwich and it was incredible. Frothy boba teas are kind of my weakness! We also grabbed Pho Vietnamese soup with the awesome Lisa of Leeselooks. She's bundles of fun and I'm so happy to finally have met her in person! There is so much to do here, so much to see. I feel I'm beginning to know the subway system and all the areas very well. I'm enjoying every minute! I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I plan on just relaxing in a nearby park, hitting up some museums, and continuing my food tour around the city!

City Life

I am so in love with New York! Everyday consists of taking subway and walking all the cute little streets and getting the chance to eat different foods. There are so many great restaurants! So far, I'm constantly craving Bleecker's Best Pizza and Karahi Indian food in the Greenwich Village. Oh and not to mention, the amazing red velvet cupcakes over at Magnolia Bakery. You can pretty much find me at that small park by the bakery every night. It's like my new favorite place to just sit and relax after a long day. Yesterday, my sister and I ventured over to Central Park which was absolutely beautiful. The weather has still been hot and sticky, but definitely not as bad as it was before. There was some really beautiful, soft light so we took a few photos there! I've been trying to dress lightly because the heat is crazy, especially when you're waiting for the subway. The black sheer blouse is H&M and the pink dress if vintage Ramona West (another favorite vintage piece of mine). And about those sandals you guys want to know about. They are Cole Haan and I've been living in them everyday. I love them because they look good with just about anything!

I've created a Twitter as well here in New York! Follow my updates :)

Philly continued and now in New York!

BEHIND THE SCENES from the Free People shoot:















Here are some more shots taken around Philadelphia! I'm wearing a vintage Ramona West floral dress, vintage bag, and Cole Haan sandals. As you can tell, the streets of Philly are so old and cute. They have so much charm! That is what I love about the East Coast. Everything is so green and pretty with rustic old buildings. In between shooting, we went to this really good restaurant called "Holly's." They have the best Tuna salad sandwich I've ever tried! Go there if you're ever in Philly. I did get to try some Philly Cheese Steak, but it was in the form of an eggroll. Interesting mix, but so so good! The last few shots were from the shoot and our nightly group dinners. Thank you Georgia for the pics! I'm super excited that Rumi from Fashion Toast and Georgia from Dora's Fur will also be a part of the catalog! Such sweet stylish ladies! The last shot was taken at the Free People offices while we were reviewing the catalog and making the setup. It was such a fun morning! Probably some of the coolest East Coast girls ever...and they all have such cute style! It was the first time I've ever visited Philadelphia and I can't wait to visit again :)

Below are some photos from New York!! I'm flaunting my Hudson Jeans tote. I got to meet up with the girls over at Hudson Jeans here in New York. We went to breakfast at the lovely Balthazar restaurant. I recommend getting the waffles w/ berries. So yummy! Then, we all headed back to the Hudson offices. I was totally wearing my Hudsons, until it got so hot that I ran into urban and quickly bought a dress to change into. But I can't wait to show you the new Hudson styles!
