New York City Weekend

I know I'm a little late on this, but better late than never...

This past weekend, Chris took me to NYC when I got back from the Cape. We had the best time! We usually try to go a few times a year because we are closet-NewYorkers, it's true I swear it! If we had enough money, we'd totally move out there together. It's just so judgment free sometimes, women walking around with no bras, men walking around in designer shoes and no one needs to feel self conscious because in New York everything is acceptable... at least that's how we feel every time we go.

Of course, we did some real shopping and some window shopping, some general sight-seeing and eating!

Oddly enough I did not go into any Sephoras while in NYC, I just didn't feel the urge - is that weird? I knew there was nothing in there that I was dying to have or to try, so I skipped it. I did however go into the MAC store. It was a fair size and the people in there were really sweet and attentive but not in that naggy sort of way. The building that it's in is really cool! It really does look like an iron!

And here are my city treasures:
Victoria's Secret eye shadow quad in Sultry
Victoria's Secret perfect lipstick in Scrumptious
MAC eye shadow in Satellite Dreams
Covergirl eye shadow in Burnt Gold

NYC Cosmetic Treasures!

The Tiffany window displays were so cute and luxurious all at once that I captured every one! Have you seen Sex & the City? Love it don’t ya? Especially the beautiful library she planned to get married in... well here is the lion of the famous New York Public Library. At the current moment, it was closed for renovation (strange right?) but I have been in there before and let me tell you, it is just as beautiful and just as glorious as the movie makes it out to be.

Hope you enjoyed the photos! I have more, but I didn’t want to boggle you up with the places we ate and the funny signs/things we saw...
