Button Down and Mustard

It would be another day of running errands and my last full day here in NC, sadly. We were looking at the house again, trying out the new mirrors they bought for the bathrooms. Later we went to BJ'S for some food snd for the Verizon retailer that's inside, then Home Goods to see other mirrors for my sister in law's mom's bathroom, she wasn't thrilled with any of the choices so my brother and his wife suggested the store At Home. We did a quick Hispanic supermarket stop then headed to that store, boy was that store huge, would need a few days to see it all. There was so much selection for many different things including the mirrors. I took advantage and found something to take to Nicaragua for my parent's house, since I'll be heading there for two weeks, I leave tomorrow the 9th, so I will do my best to try and keep posting.

I had first taken some pictures of my outfit in the bathroom then I added the green scarf and had to take new ones. New mustard skinny jeans from JCPenney, striped button up shirt from TJMaxx, brand The Limited and booties from Sears.

New earrings from Forever 21, new necklace from JCPenney and new ring from Beya.

I had bought this ring to wear specifically for this trip as well as the necklace, it was such a pretty ring not to take a picture of with my fall manicure and sangria.

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.

Tri-Borough Hopping

Unknown accessories , cardigan 0 Comments

This day off was different from the rest because my friends from Miami were in town. We were to go with one of the girl's cousin who lives lives in the city and knows her way around and would give us a tour. Let me tell you, it was not your average tour, we went all over the boroughs and she knew a lot. I was to meet up with them at LaGuardia and that was my first time making that trip on public transport, which was subway and then the bus and I had a small hiccup and went the wrong way for a while, but was able to make it in time.

Of course I wore the Love Culture skirt my friend got me, cami's from Forever 21, cardigan from H&M, tights from Target, shoes from Payless, scarf was a gift from the same friend and the coat was borrowed from my new roommate.

Wore earrings, midi rings and chain bracelet from H&M and bow bangle from New York and Company. It was my first time wearing these and my last since I lost one, I will have to turn the remaining one into a pendant.

Took this as I was heading out to explore by myself for a bit before heading to the airport.

We went all around New York, different parts of Queens, different parts of Brooklyn and different parts of Manhattan.

The Egyptian area of the Met.

We went to see Death Becomes Her, which is showcasing woman in mourning during Victorain times. There was a lot of black of course and even we were all wearing black.

The Christmas tree is up on Rockefeller Plaza and the lighting ceremony will be December 3rd, which I will try my best to see it in person.

New Kate Spade Girl

Unknown chic , designer 0 Comments

I've been working really hard and long hours, my boss recognized that and gave me a present yesterday that I would appreciate and I most definitely did! This is my first Kate Spade product and I've been wanting something from that line for a very long time.

A scarf perfect for the fall season!

It's a very large scrarf, longer than a twin bed, so when I'm not in NY and in a warm area, I can still use it as wall art.

The designer stamp! Thinking maybe I can wear it on Friday, since I might be going to an art show with my cousin in Queens. Not sure of the time yet, so don't know if I'll be able to dress up and celebrate Halloween.

Fall Interview

Unknown chic , fall 0 Comments

It was Thursday of last week and I had an interview at New York Life again, the first time was back in January. Unfortunately I arrived late because I missed my subway stop, which was grand central and then got on a wrong subway...what can I say, I've been out of the country for 7 months. That afternoon I headed back to grand central and this time I was able to walk around.

Wore the striped top and pants I got in Nicaragua, jacket from Madrag, flats from Payless and scarf was a gift.

Kept it simple with the make up.

That night before heading back, I decided to be a bit of a tourist and check out Rockefeller Plaza and Radio City Music Hall. They were building something right behind the fountain, not sure what it was since it's a little early for the Christams tree stand.

Also wanted to take a picture of Radio City Music Hall since I was nearby and there happened to be a black tie event happening right where I was standing in the Rainbow Room, Barbara Walter's 85th birthday which one of the drivers told me.

And here was the Lego version.

Wet Shopping

Unknown accessories , bracelets 0 Comments

I went into the city for the third time for paperwork, which in the end, nothing was resolved so I went to the mall for some window shopping. It became window shopping and not shopping because the shoes I've been dying to get since March and finally tried on, come in weird sizing, the 39 fits way too tight and the 40 fits way too big. If only there was 39 1/2.

I wore a gray, back-tie top from Silence + Noise, black skinnies and added a scarf to my trapeze for another look.

Sorry for these dark and grainy full outfit shots, I got back when it was dark and I was all wet from the rain. Didn't have time for them in the morning and it was still kind of dark when I left the house.

My arm party with my Guess watch and I wore this wooden bracelet because I had originally wore earrings that matched before putting on the new pearl set I got and put on.

The new pearl set.

The missed opportunity because of weird sizing shoes. I really wanted them, wish they could be fixed like clothing is. They were also available in dark red with black details and black with gold details from Carrion.

A day after I posted them on Instagram, Carrion reposted my picture.

A Celine inspired bag I really want that is also from Carrion, that I might get later on, just wish they had the black and white one.

An outfit I was trying on from Chic Boutiue. Didn't like how the top looked on me, probably because of my boobs that made it look odd, but I loved the skirt. Been also dying for a skirt like this, but this unknown brand was most certainly overpriced so I didn't get it. I could definitely find this type of skirt online for a much better price.
