new york diary: part 1

i've been looking forward to my trip to new york for far too long.  its by far one of my favorite cities.  the boyf had never been so i was excited to be able to experience it with him.  we stayed with some friends in weehawken.  i know know a little far but hey it was a free place to stay so no complaints there.  we were greeted with a lovely view of the skyline, some brooklyn lager and some proper new york pizza.

hempfest

well i survived another hempfest.  no, i didn't actually attend.  it happens to take place near my apartment.  while i had to deal with some riffraff no bonfires were set like last year.

this button down has become my new favorite shirt.  its light enough for the warm weather we've been enjoying but can take me into cooler days like today.  boy its hard to adjust from 3 days of 80 degree weather and have it be high 60s and drizzly the next.  well that's seattle for you.

i jumped on the bossypants bandwagon a little late (i blame it on the library, i was # 300 in line on 20 copies).  it was quite good.  it made me laugh and also appreciate snl a little more.  definitely recommend it if you haven't read it already.  

wearing:

top ~ polo ralph lauren {similar}

jeans ~ levi's

flats ~ steven by steve madden {ooooold}

belt ~ gap {worn here}

 

into the trenches

i'm alive friends!  i took a little trip to big sky country last week and left the computer at home.  it felt good to not surf the interweb or watch too much tv for a few days.  don't worry i didn't miss shark week though.  i know you were worried about that.

i know its finally summer in our parts but i can't help myself for transitioning into fall.  it is my favorite time of the year.  and what better way to transition than with a sleeveless trench.  who makes up this crap anway?  i was nice and cozy in the office but i was breaking a sweat come the walk home.  sorry for the bathroom background.  i knew this was my only chance to snap a photo.

wearing:

trench ~ forever 21

sweater ~ h&m

jeans ~ levi's

shoes ~ steve madden

i got home and realized the heel popped off my flats.  guess its time to finally get them fixed.  can't complain since its friday.  hope you have some fun things planned.
