NYC Shopping Fun Day

Today I got to meet lovely shoe ladies, hang out with fun people and SHOP!  First stop:

1.) Christian Louboutin West Village boutique

2.) Chelsea Market

3.) Bergdorf Goodman - where I fell in love with these Balenciaga ankle boots:

4.) Saks Fifth Ave. - we only had 30 minutes before they closed up shop.  Spent all of it on the 8th floor (HEAVEN!!)

5.) Banana Republic - where I bought a bunch of stuff that I probably don't really need.  They were having a 25% off promo, I couldn't help it.


It was nice to take time and enjoy what the city has to offer.  School is always in the back of my head but it was nice to just relax and not have to talk about school stuff.  It felt like I was back to my old self/life, even if it only lasted a few hours.

Disclaimer

I am not a fashion guru.  Nor do I claim to be one.  As much I love fashion, I love shopping more.  I can talk to anyone about shopping for days on end but that does not make me an expert on fashion.

That's all.  xoxo

Layering done Right

One thing I still need to perfect is the art of layering.  I think all I need is time and practice... for now, my inspiration:

Utility Jackets

I've always liked utility jackets. I think they're very versatile can  be worn casual or they can be dressed up.  Seeing the pic on the left makes me regret not getting one and now it's too cold.  Story of my life - I always second-guess my choices and it's always a little too late when I've decided to take the plunge.

Any of you guys have similar regrets?  xoxo

It's Starting to Feel Like Fall

I love fall clothes but I'm not entirely sure I like the cold weather.  Needless to say, I have to live here and it'll get colder soon.  For now, I'm trying to work with the weather.  We'll see how I feel once the temp drops even more.

Also, the only days I really ever get to "dress up" are Mondays, Tuesdays and theoretically, Friday.  Here are last week's outfits.  (Sorry for the pic quality.  I'm on the market for a new camera.)
