These are some of my excursions for Friday morning, Friday night and Saturday. Since Friday I got out of work earlier and Saturday is my day off. I went to the Waldorf Astoria, Bloomingdales, Henri Bendel, MoMa, Magnolia Bakery and Rockefeller building.


Early Friday attire.


It was early on, on my walk and I had gotten off at another stop, 51st and I stumbled across the famous Waldorf Astoria, I had only seen it in movies and tv, so of course I headed inside.


They have some shops including jewelry, which is what I was looking at. Thought these earrings were beautiful and they had them in blue too. These were diamonds and emeralds.


I went to Uniqlo's flagship store and discovered that MoMa is free on Fridays from 4-8pm. So I had a snack and headed there, which was nearby, I was only able to see a small part since I got there kinda late and they close at 8. I definitely need to come back to see the rest.


Later that night...



The next day, since I always love checking out the Christmas stuff and since my stop is right by Bloomingdales, I thought I'd check and see if they had it up. I actually got there 7 minutes after the model Cara Delevingne was there.


I fell in love with this ornament, three cupcakes on a stand, since I'm a baker.


I headed to the Magnokia Bakery inside Bloomingdales and had a coconut cupcake at the suggestion of an employee and some hot cocoa. To be honest, the coconut cupcakes I've made are better, this was too sweet.


Went to Henri Bendel and they have Christmas ornaments out too. This was a 3 piece boxed set, a hat box, a shopping bag and a champagne bottle.


I went inside the Rockefeller building for the first time to go to the observation deck, but turns out it costs $29, so I just kept walking around since they have shops inside. Wanted to check out the Rainbow Room, but it was closed and their website said they open to the public on Sunday's and Monday's. I'm always working until late those days so I guess I may never see it.

I had two interviews scheduled for the same day in two different cities, one at The Limited in Yonkers and the other at Bouchon Bakery in NYC.



Cardigan from H&M, pants from Express, booties from Payless.




Hung out at The Shops at Columbus Circle again.

Monday afternoon I got a call to set up an interview in the city with New York Life, which is an insurance company. My appointment was set up for the next day Tuesday at 11am, but was rescheduled for 9am since there was a snowstorm predicted to come at noon. My feet were still hurting from the walk on Sunday and now I had to go back to the city.



It was going to a cold one so I needed to layer. Wore tights, leggings and Express pants, a cami, long sleeve thermal from Aeropostale, pink professional button down shirt from TJMaxx, a vest, a cardigan from H&M and a blazer from MadRag.


This time I wore more comfortable shoes to walk in, but so wrong for all the snow on the trip back. Ballet flats by American Eagle at Palyess.


The interview location was right by Grand Central so I had to take the metro north straight down.


Well, everyone got a surprise including myself cause the snow actually started before 9am, it was already snowing when I exited Grand Central to walk to the interview location.




That day was my cousin's kid's birthday, so we all walked out in the snowstorm to have pizza at a place nearby. The walk back was more brutle because the snow was worse, but we all embraced it, polar bear hat and all!

It was Sunday, the day I was going into the city to have brunch and walk around, so I needed some nice clothes and warm enough. I left around 12:25 pm and by the time I got there it was too late for brunch at The Palm Court in The Plaza hotel, so I went to The Plaza food hall and had tea with cheesecake.


Wearing a mustard colored coat from Priorities, skinny jeans, JustFab boots and Anne Klein satchel from Marshall's.



Some pictures came out blurry and would not come out clear no matter how many times I took them.


An ivory wool blend sweater from Victoria's Secret and a turquoise thermal from Aeropostale underneath, my favorite color. I was layered so well, I got hot at times.





Created a two color manicure with striped blue nails and glitter tipped white nails.


First checked out The Shops at Columbus Circle, which is the stop I got off on. View towards Central Park South.


One of the hallways at The Plaza.


Of course I couldn't be at The Plaza and not have a mimosa, since I missed brunch I was still in the mood for my mimosa and ordered one.


Walked over to Bergdorf Goodman since it was basically right next door from The Plaza. My first time there and found out that store was huge, seven floors.


Then walked over to Henri Bendel since the last time I was there was for an interview and didn't really look around.


Made my first purchase in store since the first was online for cyber Monday. They were having a 50% winter sale and got a pretty compact.

A few months ago, I was online and noticed this gorgeous designer dress on Marshall's website and facebook page. I knew I had to have it even if the price was a little high for me at $50. Went to the store with some friends in hopes I would find it, I was very lucky I did because it's very unlikely to find something in their store that you see online and the best part was to have found it for even less, $35.


I wore this for an interview I had at Henri Bendel's flagship store in NYC. A Calvin Klein tweed dress from Marshall's paired with a Madrag blazer, black tights, Payless booties, JustFab handbag, vintage earrings, diamond ring, an Avon necklace and a bracelet made by me, Zetram Designs.



It was my first interview in the city since moving to New York from South Florida and it was the perfect dress for it, warm and my interviewer loved it! Guess watch from Macy's.




The moment I saw the dress on their Facebook page and took a picture.



Juicy Couture I bought when I worked at an optical.

I had an interview for New York and Company on the upper east side in the city. I had read online it is good to dress for the interview similar to the clothes they sell, so I did. It was a very cold day so The goal was a lot of layering while still looking presentable, goal achieved.



Black Express pants, purple sleeveless top, jacket from Madrag, pearl necklace made by me, Zetram Designs.


Underneath I wore black leggings, a cami and a thermal shirt from Aeropostale.


This is basically the outfit I wore that I created on polyvore, since I didn't get any full shots of my outfit.


Mustard colored coat by Properties.


Before the interview I had a little fun at Bloomingdales flagship store.
