What To Do In New York City

PART ONE

I just returned from one of the BEST trips ever to my second home, New York City. After living there for almost three years, this was my first return to the city of dreams. My trip was nothing short of magical, from reuniting with friends, to exploring new hot spots. I honestly wish I could have just one more day, but for now, I’m busy planning my next big trip back home.

I used to get this question almost weekly when I lived in Manhattan: What should I do in New York City? So I thought I’d start sharing my tips and tricks of a former local, and the best spots for different occassions. Because this could get lengthy, I’m starting off with a PART ONE of WHAT TO DO IN NEW YORK CITY. I’ll be back with more, so don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Lastly, shop my latest trip’s outfits with all of the links below. And yes, I did wear these Comfortiva Sneakers every single day. Enjoy friends!

Layered Stripe Top

LAYERED STRIPE TOP | DENIM | EARRINGS

Most mornings look just like this, but even more chaotic. It’s a routine I have come far too familiar with. I typically start the day hitting the snooze button for a solid two hours. By the time I actually get up, I race around the house, feeding the animals, applying my make up, digging for something to wear, and tossing my hair into a bun. Honestly, this is pretty good for the whole 45 minutes I gave myself to complete this look. Sometimes I even forget mascara, and when you aren’t wearing eye liner, boy is it scary.

Needless to say I am far from perfect, especially in the mornings. This week I’ve tested myself by getting up when I would normally hit snooze. It’s time to make the most of my mornings. No wonder people get so much shit done bright and early. The truth is, I kind of like it. I intend to make a habit of this, giving myself enough time to start the day with a positive outlook, and a full (and awake) heart.

Pleated Ruffle Sleeve Top

TOP | EARRINGS | JEANS

After a much needed vacation with the family, I’m totally struggling to get back into the swing of things. That being said, I know this pleated ruffle sleeve top will get me out of my post vacation blues.

This gorgeous, pleated ruffle sleeve top is the perfect elevated basic for work wear or casual wear. It has an oversized fit, but looks great as is, or with a slight tuck in the front. And let’s not forget about these ruffle sleeves. Dress this top up with slacks and pumps, and you are ready for any meeting on the books. You can also style it more casually like me, and still achieve a super fun look.

For just $16 you can make a statement too, in my favorite, pleated ruffle sleeve top. Click the links above to shop my exact look.
