My 27th in NYC.

On Saturday I turned the big 2-7. To celebrate, my boyfriend & I headed into New York City to do what we do best, eat. 

Started our day off with the BEST macarons in the city from the Macaron Parlour. They have a stand in the Union Square holiday pop up market & we were told they recently opened a store front. The red velvet macaron was amazinggg.

Also at the Union Square market were these magical waffles or dinges. This lovely had their special spekuloos spread (gingerbread cookie spread) & nutella on it. 

Next we stopped at Crumbs to split a birthday cupcake!

Look! A non-food related picture!

Our last food stop was due to a recommendation from a colleague of mine. He raved and raved about this pizza that basically had artichoke dip on top of it. O.M.G was he right. If you are ever in NYC, really, you should try a slice @ Artichoke Basille's Pizza. 

And lastly, a little gift I picked up for myself- a charm bracelet from Alex & Ani. Cute, simple & stackable + its... "infused with energy". 

Here's to 27.

Old Navy Wish-list 11.4.12

Old Navy has some pretty cute stuff on their website- so I figured I'd show you what I've added to my wish-list. Now I can say that I want this stuff all I want, but there is always the possibility of trying it on in-store and it fitting like crap not so great. So here goes...

// Sequin-Stripe Chiffon Tank //

// Sequin-Front Raglan Jersey Top //

// Patterned Crew-Neck Sweater //

// Softest Printed-Crew Sweaters //

The polka-dot sweater seems so Kate Spade! And this fox trend.... not sure I'm jumping on board, but the printed-crew sweaters are definitely cute!

Rodarte for Starbucks

Starting Novemer 13th you can head to Starbucks and pick up mugs, tote bags, mug sleeves and gift cards all designed by Rodarte. Fast Company describes it as "a pixelated logo inside a flurry of gray and white pixels."

I can tell you that the mug will definitely be on my Christmas Hanukkah wish list.

Glitter Ankle Boots

Someone tweeted this picture earlier this year and it is STILL saved on my phone.

Turns out they were $595 ankle boots from Barneys AKA, wayyyy out of my price range. Luckily the glitter ankle boots below popped up at DSW.

At $54.95, they are definitely more budget friendly. I looked for these at 2 different DSW's and couldn't find them. Your best bet may be to purchase online if you are interested in these.

Simply Vera Vera Wang Thong Sandals

As soon as I spotted these sandals I knew I had to have them. The best part was... they were on clearance! SCORE. The black pair was $12.99 (yes, you read that correctly) and the white pair were $17.99 (you know, that whole "its more money b/c its a different color" thing). 

SO very Louboutin(ish).

They look even better in person & are SO very comfortable. Head to your nearest Kohls ASAP!
