NY

New York at the holidays. I can’t think of a more perfect time to visit. Yes, it was chilly, but that made it that more delightful to slip in to a little coffee shop for a cappuccino or French restaurant for a bowl of soup and to watch through the windows as people walk by. And, also, sales! In addition to the J.Crew jewelry I’ve already posted, I made my first ever venture into Inglot! I’ve been following the brand for a while now, but can’t exactly say that it’s accessible in the states. I was so happy to take a crash course tour of the island of Manhattan; below, some highlights.

Waiting for our flight, I started a new book and cozied up in my new snow boots from Sorel. Coat from Forever 21, bucket bag from Old Navy.

My accessories layout at our hotel room. I wanted to stick with one metal tone (gold, duh!) versatile scarves (cream/navy, black and leopard), and a couple of pairs of sunnies.
Jewelry from Jewelmint, J.Crew, BaubleBar, Bulova.
Scarves from AGlamourGirlsCloset(Instagram), Old Navy.

A gorgeous view of the city from Hoboken, NJ.

A little festive-ness near Radio City Music Hall.
We creeped around this hotel for some warmth and a photo op!

Myself, Mark and Mark’s brother, Jack, at the incredibly inventive restaurant/gourmet grocery store hybrid, Eatily. I LOVED the concept of different little stations for crudo, vegetables, paninis, etc. Given the option by such courteous gentleman, I chose the crudo station. Succccch a good decision.

This trip, my first to New York, was one of the most special and meaningful trips I’ve ever been on. Spending time with the family of the love of my life and seeing how everyone comes together with love and support… Touched my heart. I can’t wait to go back to experience more of all that New York has to offer.
