This post was going to be posted yesterday, but I was busy all day with my birthday. This was for Saturday, my first one not working and my mom's friends took me to an early birthday lunch along with another birthday boy. We went to a Chinese buffet next my old job and the place sang us happy birthday, which was nice. My mother also had a get together in Nicaragua and we were able to skype with each other, which we had never done before. The signal wasn't great, but we were able to see each other and say a few things before it got bad, there was a thunder storm in Miami and my friend's power went out that afternoon and didn't come back until 2am.

Top from Forever 21, skinny jeans from Walmart and slight wedged sandals from Payless.

Coin earrings were a gift, omega chain bought in Nicaragua, Henri Bendel rings, Guess watch, stainless steel bracelet wa a gift and bow bangle part of a set from New York and Company.

This past Saturday was my day off and the first time I could explore NYC since I left in February. I went to Bloomingdales, Henri Bendel and H&M among others, but only took pictures of these. I've been wanting a wine colored floppy hat for fall and when I saw this at Henri Bendel, I had to try it on, so in love with it!

The first thing you see when you enter Henri Bendel, many Carlyle handbags.

I finally got to see the New York skyline collection in person.

So many handbags and all on sale. They was a summer sale when I went, now there is a fall sale.

Thought this bangle was so beautiful, but a little out of my price range. Maybe if I save up, I can get it.

Also really want these and these are a better price. Might get one one of these weeks.

Went to Bloomingdales on 59th and Lex and thought this table set up was cute with the 100% up top.

I like taking pictures of tablescapes and thought I would take a one of this fall one for my mother as inspiration.

I did do some actual shopping at Henri Bendel and H&M.

I got a small gold cuff from Henri Bendel at 60% off during their summer sale.

At H&M I got a big gold chain link bracelet and a set of rings in different colors each.

I received the products I ordered online which were a bangle and stack ring from Henri Bendel, gold iPad mini Smart Cover and iPod 5 case. Had a very Henri Bendel picture moment here with my new rings, bangle, compact and nails. Obsessed much?

Other bracelet and bangles were birthday presents.

Loved that they came in super cute drawstring bags to store them in.

I immediately put the new case on my iPad and I love it, much more light weight and smaller than my previous case.

Of course my lock screen wallpaper is stylish!

The iPod case I ordered was clear so I can put an image in between, but instead came in white, which I have no use for.

Update: trying to improve the case.

Of course my same Miami friend who I had posted about the Ralph Lauren bag also got on the Henri Bendel train. Her first purchase there, a ring.

I did almost get that Sutton mini bag.

I ended up getting the oval rivet bangle in white/gold and the Bendel bow stacking ring in gold, which only had 3 left after I got it.

From eBay I ordered an iPod 5 case with accessories in clear so I can put any image between the iPod and the case and it be my own style.

Also ordered an iPad mini Smart Cover in gold because the case I have now is a little heavy and takes up more room in my bag. Comes with accessories as well including a screen protector which I really need since the one that's on now keeps coming off in one area because I placed it too low.

Can't wait to have these items in my hand! Soon! Stay tuned for the update!

My friend back in Miami also did some shopping, a Lauren Ralph Lauren Newberry double zip satchel at Macy's for $68 after sale and coupons! So jealous!
