August Blues

Alas, August is half way over already, and i'm totally sad about it. Loads of friends are jetting off for their final weeks of vacation, and I'm very much still here in the city heat. I may not be finding myself in some tropical resort, but I definitely spent the day exploring the aesthetic gem of the city that is Roosevelt Island.
Had the wicked pleasure of being photographed by the ultimate MVP @LaidBackKenny alongside one of my best friends, Christina.
After the shoot, I did a bit of shopping damage (whoops!¡) before we headed to Baby's All Right to catch a last minute set by Mothxr.

Back to Business

With the summer comes lots of promises of stuff that we say we'll do, but never actually get around to... like reading that new book, or watching all 9 seasons of some show, or updating your blog. ¡yikes! However, now that works come to an end and I've just finished the annual week-long roadtrip with my best friends, it's probably best that I return to this realm of my life.

The humid weather in NYC calls for nothing but drapey clothing to keep you cool in the far-and-few-inbetween breeze.

Central

If you follow me on tumblr, then you probably know that one of my best friends has recently spent the week in NYC with me, before returning home, across the country. On her final day here the weather was nice enough to show her the iconic Central Park; perfect location to snap some photos as well.

Goodbye Spring Break !(?)

Goodbye Spring Break! Or better yet, Spring Broke, because I managed the spend the little that I'd saved in two weeks on food, clothes and transportation in just 7 measly days! That being said, they were some of the funnest days I've had in the past month, and I'm so sad to see them go :(

Anywhere here's a recap of my lovely spring break:

Friday + Saturday:
Friday was easily the worstttttt day of the entire week, as I spent up to 12 hours traveling on a trip that should only take 4-5 and to make matters worst, I seem to have an affinity to getting stuck seated next to the sole person complaining the entirety of the train ride. *Le Sigh* I of course spent most of Saturday sleeping in and rejuvenating myself, so that I'd be prepared for the mayhem and havoc that I'd wreak in the following days.

Sunday + Monday:
Sunday started off bright and early (and warm!!!!) with a concert to see Drowners with Celine and Nicole. They were performing for kids and the concert was probably the cutest thing I'd witnessed this entire year!

Hung about Williamsburg for the day, had amazing food from a restaurant I can't remember the name of, and took too many photos.

Ended the night grabbing dinner at our fave place~~

Monday involved running errands, and then shopping with Kat, and of course we spent hours in Sephora.

Tuesday:
Proved to be uneventful, did my break homework (sort of, whoops!)

Wednesday + Thursday + Friday:
On Wednesday, I went shopping with Christina!! Which meant lots of time spent in soho. Then we grabbed dinner at one of my favorite mac&cheese places (S'mac) and proceeded to send terrible terrible photos of each other to Kaitlyn, Jill and Ari (none of which can be disclosed...)

Thursday consisted of a missed opportunity to see Joy (i'm sorry Joy!) and actually doing the homework I was meant to do 2 days before.

Friday was spent mostly out. Slept in late, woke up and got ready for the day, went to the city to do some last minute make up shopping, before heading to Times Square to meet up with Josephine. We checked off Shake Shack from my cravings list and ended up spending more time than we planned. After that, I took her to the bar to meet up with Nicole, Kim and Celine, (plus more friends), and as I wait to use the bathroom, guess who bloody walks out (???) fcking Jake Bugg. Obviously all composure was kept (until I went in the bathroom) but he's so lovely, and cute, and he walked out and then went back and held the door open for me and when I said thank you he smiled, so clearly he's a proper gent!

Then we hung about and I ended up having to leave at midnight to go pack, but not before my glorious 'post no bill' selfie!

All in all, a wonderful spring break was had, and the weather was decent, and I cannot waitttttt for summer to arrive!

Tell me about how you spent your spring break, or how you're planning to (so I can live vicariously through ya) in the comments below!

BULLIES

With Spring Break drawing to an end, I spent my last day in NYC doing a bit of makeup shopping, grabbing a bite at Shake Shack with Josephine, before heading down to meet up with Nicole and Celine! I couldn't help myself, and broke out another neglected varsity style bomber jacket to keep me warm in the breezy weather!

Stepping Into Spring

So far my spring break has proven (against everyone's belief) to be a fairly warm one! I'm so happy!!! The weather happened to be in the 50s today, so I ditched the hat and scarf, and traded in the parka and boots for my vintage bomber jacket (from 2nd grade haha) and my long-lusted-for Chanel espadrilles.

Spent the afternoon finishing some work, hanging with my mum and brother, before heading to the city to see the lovely Katrina (and spend endless amounts in Sephora) ((Whoops?))

I hope the warm weather is to stay! Makes me never want to leave NYC again. (Syra-what??) I don't think I can handle going back to below zero temps!

Well, until the next time, (and until the spring break haul video), enjoy the spring weather!

#TGIBF

So despite my later (9am) start [which you can blame on my alarm!!] I took advantage of some deals and my last day home, to pick up some items I've had my eyes on. My friend and eye shopped from lower Manhattan to midtown, even running into a bunch of high school friends in the process! All in all, a long successful day.

Here are some of my favorite spoils from today:

Shop my purchases and tell me about what you got this black friday (while I rest my aching feet!)

Nippy NYC

Cardigan Urban Outfitters | Playsuit Motel Rocks | Shoes Converse | Jacket (not shown) Urban Outfitters

My first official day out since coming back home was today, and lets just say it was a cold one! I braved the weather in one of my favorite playsuits from motel rocks, my urban renewal cardigan and all white converse. Reunited with the lovely Katrina (!!!!!) and we went to see Catching Fire (which is amazing and I recommend to everyone), and then of course we made our mandatory trip to Sephora. 

How have you guys been starting your weeks? Let me know below!

Went for lunch and out shopping with Katrina! Bought some goodies at mac!!

Went out for a surprise birthday dinner for my mum (pre-asthma attack blehgh)

Ran some last minute errands before heading to the airport. Bumpy flight with the Crumbs cupcakes that I brought back for my roommate and friends!

So, all in all, it was a nice weekend. When can I go back? Hahaha
