New York City: My Photo Journey

10.17.2012

As I mentioned previously, I recently had the opportunity to spontenously travel to New York City and stay with one of my best friends in Brooklyn. I was somewhat in awe upon arrival. There is something so magical about the city from the incredible style and inspiration to the gorgeous architecture. My journey was just as spectacular as my last visit. I explored West Village and Greenwich Village, ate cupcakes at Magnolia's Bakery in the park, sipped wine at the Met, saw beautiful animals at the Bronx Zoo, hung out at the Chelsea Market, experienced Brooklyn {at night and day}, visited so many parks, laughed with some of my best friends, and ate the most amazing food! It couldn't have been more perfect, and I am sure I will be back sooner than I know it {well I hope so}!

Have you been to New York? Where's your favorite place to visit in the city?

PS, I wanted to to thank everyone for all the support along the way. I have been overwhelmed with comments and have enjoyed every single one! Thank you all so so much!! xo

Trends in New York

10.07.2012

When I visited New York this last week, there were a few trends that I noticed that really stood out. Mainly due to their popularity amongst many New Yorkers. Therefore, I felt like it was more than necessary to share them with you all. Plus I added some affordable pieces in the mix {heck yes, we all can be on trend!}.

Pants: Gap, $59.95 //Knit Jacket: Zara, $59.90 //Outerwear Jacket: Zara, $99.90 //Flats: Old Navy, $24.94

Camouflage
I spotted camouflage everywhere, and by everyone! Young, old, men, women were all wearing this trend. It was most often seen as a jacket, but some also were pants and various other kinds of garments and accessories. It is a really fun trend that pairs well with a more soft, feminine pieces.

Striped Blouse: Forever 21, $14.80//Blazer: H&M, $49.95//Leather Skirt: H&M, $29.95//Ballet Flats: Ruche, $34.99

Burgundy, Bordeaux, Merlot, etc.
Burgundy, Bordeaux, Merlot or whatever you would like to call was definitely the color of the season. What is so great about this color is that it easily matches with so many other colors and can really be replaced with traditional neutrals such as black, browns, and creams.

Leggings: Charlotte Russe, $14.99//Blouse: ASOS, $33.42 //Pleated Skirt: Cotton On, $49.95//Letterman Jacket: Forever 21, $24.90

Leather
Leather {or faux leather} was every where and on everything from leather skirts and pants to trims on blouses and jackets. And was worn in a wide range of colors. Incorporating some leather within your wardrobe this fall can easily freshen up your look and add a fun unexpected touch.

Which trends will you rock this season!?
