Winter Trips Shopping

I had my day off in the middle of the week on Wednesday and I just wanted to go to the dollar store to get a new razor since mine mysteriously went missing. There were so many cool things there and many Christmas things, so I got some presents and a little bit of decor for the new furniture in the room. Since there is a Ross in that same plaza, I thought I'd check it out before I go, I only went to look at things not buy and I ended up spending $85. I went out to buy just a razor for $1 and ended up spending just over $100, but it was gift shopping and I'm very happy with my new stuff. I bought a ticket for NC for Dec. 23 to the 28th, so I can spend my Christmas there and potentially planning a NY trip for next month.

I had seen these Tommy Hilfiger sweater tops and really liked them, I had seen the pink one first and really liked the soft pink color, which is the only shade of pink I like. Then I noticed the teal one and figured, why not get both.

Just trying it on, since I had to get a medium because there were no size small, but it was fine.

And now for the best purchase ever! I was looking through the size small section of one of the racks in the winter section to see of there was anything for my cold weather trips, once I laid my eyes on this cape, I fell in love and even more so with the price!

It's a Marchesa Voyage black cape with embroidered parrots, original price $595 for shopstyle, Ross price $25! Couldn't pass that up.

Got the size 6 as it was the smallest, no size 4 available, but it still worked.

I had looked online for this cape after I bought it to see if the price was accurate and it was. I don't know why Ross was selling it for such a low price because even on eBay I saw one for $150, nevertheless, I'm happy with it.

NYC Farewell

Unknown accessories , Bryant Park 0 Comments

This was my last day in NYC on Sarurday and I wanted to wear my new pearls. Even though I would be wearing a scarf and it wouldn't be seen, I still wanted to wear it. It was kind of a bitter sweet day, happy to be leaving my low paying job, seeing my friends in Miami and my parents in Nicaragua, but sad because I was leaving the cold, leaving my new friend and not exploring the city anymore.

I wore a black thermal underneath, a fuzzy silk trimmed sweater like top from a friend, Duane Reade leggings, JustFab boots, real pearl necklace from nomorerack and Forever 21 red coat.

This top has a really long silk neck thing and I never knew what to do with it, which is why I would never wear it, but this time I got creative and made it into a scarf.

A closer shot of my pearls, pearl earrings from Burlington, stack ring I found online and my favorite Chanel lipstick, which has been discontinued and I'm running out of.

I was saying goodbye to the friend I made, we were at Bryant Park since she works there. So sad to be leaving her behind because she was amazing!

The last time I had this view.

Polar Bear

Unknown accessories , Aeropostale 0 Comments

It was the night of my first Henri Bendel shopping event and it was also snowing, so I had to wear a hat and what better than a polar bear one. When I put on my outfit that morning, I wasn't 100% sure I would be able to go, but when it was time, I just put on some pretty jewelry and headed out the door with my umbrella. I did some shopping as you can see from the bag in the background, you can see my purchases on my previous post.

The black coat borrowed from a former roommate, boots from justfab, polar bear hat was a gift probably from Amazon, leggings from Duane Reade, thermal top from Aeropostale and red crossbody from Marshall's.

Just quickly took this as I came back and the snow had stopped.

I wore the pearl necklace I made, Zetram Designs, new pearl earrings from nomorerack.com and Henri Bendel bracelet.

On the other side I had a glass pearl bracelet, Zetram Designs.

Here is the snowy fountain in front of The Plaza.

Checkered at Union

Unknown accessories , Avon lipstick 0 Comments

For my day off, I headed out with a friend I hadn't seen in a while even though she lives just 6 blocks from me, but our schedules have never coincided. She took me to Union Square, which I have never been too and it was nice. I'm learning to layer better since I don't have a ouch winter clothes and my other clothes are up north with my cousin. I will be heading up there for thanksgiving weekend and will bring back some more clothes.

Wore a long sleeve pink top from Hollister, checkered "top" from Kmart, cardigan from H&M, leggings from Duane Read and boots from justfab. Coat was the one borrowed from my roommate, but I no longer have one so now it's mine and scarf was a gift.

Had my Avon lipstick on, which matched these heart earrings my boss lent me while I work here.

My camis underneath were Forever 21.

And of course a picture of Union Square, the park area.

Just before we went inside the park, there was someone promoting an app by giving away free touchscreen gloves and $10 on the app with a code just for downloading the app. It was a win win for me since I already had the app, which is fever and I needed touchscreen gloves.

That day there were two girls doing interviews for a YouTube video regarding fashion and came up to us, we agreed to do it. They picked two good ones because my friend has bought most of her clothes in Italy and I have a fashion blog, which I did talk about. We provided our emails so they can send us the link when it is ready, hopefully I don't look bad.

Boots and Red

Unknown accessories , boots 0 Comments

It was only my second time with my new boots and again did a lot of walking in them around the city. I just walked up and down 5th Avenue and checked out some stores and many already have Christmas things as I showed in yesterday's post.

I wore leggings I got years ago so I don't know from where, the top was a gift, trapeze handbag bought in Nicaragua and boots from justfab.com.

Red coat from Forever 21. My legs looked rather thin in this picture, though I have lost weight, the boots are kind of wide so makes them look thinner.

Wore the pearl necklace I made to wear for my birthday back in August, Zetram Designs, earrings were a gift from Colombia and ring set from a wholesaler I used to shop with.

Here is a better shot of the new justfab boots I got. They actually really hurt my feet since I walked a lot, but turns out it was just that my nails were a little long and are great now, no pain. I will take them on another long run this weekend.

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.
