New York, I Love You

Well clearly I forgot to post pictures of my cousin's Bachelorette party way back in July...sooooo better late than never! We stayed at a fabulous hotel in New York, The Cooper Square Hotel,  where the Celebs stay! I tried to get the front desk to spill the beans and tell me who was staying there but they wouldn't BUDGE! HOW RUDE! 

Here's some views of the lobby. My family took over the lobby for 2 days. It was just such a fun atmosphere to be in! 


I love the wall of books. 
It gave a homey feel to the lobby.

When you walk out of the lobby you'll enter one of the gardens. I LOVED sitting out here. It was so calming especially coming off the crazy streets of New York. 

We even made a trip to Kleinfelds so my cousin could get her dress fitted. 

Now I do watch Say Yes to the Dress and I was excited to go but it didn't reall hit me until I stepped in to the store and then I was speechless. It was so neat to see everything right in front of you!
And look who we ran into!!!!
AHHHHH RANDY!


Now let's get to the dinner.
We went to the Meat Packing Industry and headed to STK Steakhouse
I was in awe when I stepped out of the cab. I felt like I was living Blair Waldorf's life! 
Behold the most DELICIOUS menu:


Skirt Steak and truffle oil potatoes

Chocolate Molten Cake

Here are 2 of my cousin's setting up the room.


It was HUGE! And we definitely had the best room in the whole restaurant. 
Props to my cousin J for finding the place.  

Dig in!

 Matron of honor, Bride-to-be, and a Bridesmaid

Loving the quality of the iPhone. 
NAWHT. 

Brooklyn Cousin. 
Love her to death, check out her Etsy site!

 There were even touches of the Royal Wedding at the party. The Matron of Honor bought the Bride-to-be a fascinator! So naturally I tried it on and pretended to play bartender for the night. 

 Then it was off the clubs and I was in HEAVEN!
I literally felt like Chuck Bass was going to appear at any minute when we were at The Griffin. 
Unfortunately, the squinty eyes came out so I'm not thrilled with the picture but my 
cousins sure do look cute!

Thanks for revisiting NYC with me!
I hope I can go back very soon.

High Point Bound

I'm headed down South, Y'all! 
Sorry for the lack of posts this past few weeks but i've been busy getting ready to go back to school and let me tell you it's been exhausting! As you read this I'll be 2 hours into the trip! And this is the first year I'm driving by myself. Don't worry, I downloaded plenty of trance to keep me entertained. 

Can't wait to get back to my cute little room:


And my teammates!



Happy packing to all the incoming freshman and returning students!

Nailed It! Deborah Lippmann Edition

Currently obsessed with Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish. The bottles are a little on the pricey side but SOOOO worth it! OPI can't even compete with these colors. 

I paired:

other way to get a close up of the glitter!}
