NYC Farewell at The Plaza

Second part of my NYC farewell was implementing for the second time my new tradition of going to The Plaza. Walking around inside and having a mimosa, but this time it was Christmastime so there was more to see.

The amazing skylight in the tea room.

Thought I would get this gorgeous chandelier with the amazing ceilings, which was right by the tree.

It was my first time seeing their Christmas tree in person.

Had my $11 mimosa, I forget to ask for price before ordering it.

A little tree on the side when I was headed back.

Central Park in the wintertime.

Found some amazing ornaments in one of the little shops at Bryant Park, this was the wine tree with tiny wine bottles and glasses with "wine" inside.

Great for the group of wine drinking friends.

They had so many stylish ones like heels and matching handbags.

5th Avenue Viewings

Unknown Bergdorf and Goodwin , Central Park 0 Comments

My day off, Saturday, I headed to Fifth Avenue again, but this time I was able to go to Bergdorfs, Central Park and The Plaza. I also went to FAO Schwartz and Henri Bendel.

After that whole day of walking, I had a Chardonnay at The Plaza.

Some heels at Bergdorfs.

Handbags.

I always like taking pictures of the mannequins.

I thought these were hilarious! Would wear them as a joke!

Of course the tablescapes.

As I passed by Central Park to head to FAO Schwartz, I saw a long line to get in the park and I wondered why. Turns out that was the day of the Global Citizen Festival, a free concert with lots of performers like Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Fun, Sting, Beyoncé and some others. Wish I had remembered it was that day because you needed to print out your ticket. I could hear the concert happening, but no way of getting in.

I was taking this picture while I could hear the concert very nearby and my phone battery dying by the second.

Some Christmas ready snow globes at Henri Bendel.

I love tiny things and since small handbags are on trend for this fall season, I thought I'd take a picture.

Last week I took pictures with the black and white ones, now I do the colored ones.

I've been really wanting their business card holder for a long time now and decided to finally get one. They were having a 30% off sale and offering free monogramming at the NY flagship store up until the 29th.

It came out great and I am so in love with it, can't wait to whip it out for networking.

And this was the only one that had the Henri Bendel name right where it was!

My initials, MCG.

Then I headed back on the subway with my metro card. Dog toys at Bloomingdales.

Sunday Brunch

Unknown Anne Klein purse , Bergdorf Goodman 0 Comments

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.
