Manhattan Highlights


House of Harlow SunglassesElizabeth and James Heels (similar style). JCrew Bangle and Earrings. 

After an exciting week spent on the go in Manhattan I'm happy to be back home and am looking forward to catching up on sleep / getting back into the normal routine. A few highlights from this past week included brunch at Balthazar and shopping in Soho with Helena (Brooklyn Blonde) and Krystal (This Time Tomorrow). Breakfast at Conde Nast with Brandon Holley and the Lucky Magazine team. An afternoon spent in the West Village in which I lunched at Zampa, visited the Christian Louboutin store and discovered the adorable Otte boutique - thanks to my girlfriend Melissa. And finally, spending time with many amazing bloggers including my friend Meghan (Wit and Whimsy) who generously let me crash at her Upper East Side apartment (I'm already having withdrawals after spending the entire week with her).

If I would have seen that top on a hanger in some store, I probably would have bypassed it. Seeing it on you, I'm in desperate need of it! I love it paired with jeans. Gorgeous!
