Pink

Pink. What a pretty color, right? I've always loved the color pink and used to wear it a lot as a little girl. Pink and I parted ways in the past few years but now my love for the feminine and playful color is back and strong. I decided to showcase some of my favorite pink things (new and old) today.

New York I Love You

I just got back from my trip to the big apple! I love New York so much, I wish I could live there. I had a really good time, saw some fabulous things, and ate some delicious food. When I got off the train when we arrived home I already wanted to get back on another train heading back to my should-be home. 

Graffiti in Soho

It was REALLY cold and very windy, my little sister could have practically been blown away! Luckily, we managed to stay on the ground and tried to keep warm. I went with my dad and my sister and it was some good bonding time. The first day we got there in the early afternoon, went to a couple stores my sister wanted to go to and then went to dinner at probably my favorite restaurant: Payard. I strongly recommend it, it is fantastic--so delicious! Seriously, go there if you get the chance! The chef is also really sweet and so gracious (my grandma knows him so I've gotten to meet him and practice my French.) The deserts are also to die for and I got to take home some macarons (love them!) The next day I did some shopping with my sister and my dad and sister. I got some goodies at H&M, the store in NYC is their flagship store and is HUGE and filled with such beautiful stuff it is insane! I went nuts when I saw all the lovely spring pastel colors and interesting pieces that are definitely not in the H&M here!

We also went to some other stores, among those being New York Vintage. NY Vintage is an amazing vintage store, filled with glorious pieces dating back to the 20s up until the 80s. They have amazing couture designer pieces and accessories that are just stomach-fluttering to be close to. The only downfall is the prices are very high, and most things are overpriced (i.e. small beaded clutch around $200...I'll pass), but going there was really cool. We ate lunch at my dad's favorite low key deli, The Viand (my dad's been going there since it opened 30 years ago). We also went to NYU and walked around, then went to Soho and did a lot of walking and exploring.

We went to some other stores and then had some dinner at Payard again (I'm telling you, its delicious.) The next day we went to the MET (one of my favorite museums ever), Central Park, walked around downtown, and went to the ever-popular Dylan's Candy Bar. 

In Soho they were handing out giftcards for the Topshop store opening on Broadway and Broomes next thursday...I need to go! Isn't the little Topshop bus so cute?

Pictures of new buys coming soon...

In the Dark

Today I felt a little like Wednesday Adams meets Alice in Wonderland so I came up with this outfit. I love this black lace babydoll dress, it makes me feel girly and it is dream-like yet a little evil. I paired it with my new Chloe boots!

 

I had been searching for these delightful boots for months and finally found them! I love them so much and am so excited to wear them again and again. I watched Amelie yesterday (slight obsession with Audrey Tautou), and loved it as much as the previous times I saw the movie. I'm so glad its spring break so I get to relax...I'm also going to New York on monday and am so excited! I love New York so much plus the shopping is great. I'm off, and I'll try to start posting more regularly.

Field Trip

Today was a fun day! I went on a field trip with my art class to an art museum downtown. It was a great time and very relaxed. The cafeteria at the gallery was so cute and delicious, too! Anyway, here is my outfit for today. I have to go study for the 3 tests I have tomorrow, joy.

Priceless

Here is what I wore last night...I'm going out to lunch soon, and don't have too much to say. I watched "Priceless" with Audrey Tautou on friday night. It was really good, I recommend it! She's a great actress, adorable and beautiful. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

 

I love this necklace in all its strangeness. Its from Paraphernalia

New Buys

Vintage wood gloss heart-clasp purse

I've been going a little crazy with eBay lately, but boredom can do that to you...Luckily, though, I have actually gone out into the real world and purchased a couple things in an actual store, too. I can't wait for some of my new things to arrive (slow mail is so annoying), so I can do a larger outfit post. Here are just a few pictures of the new things I actually have with me right now.

Black sundress: See by Chloe

Red belted shorts: birthday gift

Pink/brown/white geometric bag: Vintage 

White floral headpiece: Vintage (found on eBay)

And just a little bonus from my birthday is this:

It is a chunky knitted hat from the Marc Jacobs FW 07 Show! It is an acquired taste, but it's so warm, comfy and it's weird in a way I love. I picked it up at a vintage store, and received it for my birthday! I need to wear it before winter ends...

And my outfit from yesterday:

Off to do something or other...
