NYC IN JANUARY

What can I say, I love NYC. I even loved it last month when it was a shocking (to me anyways) 17 degrees for three days straight. I just love the city, and being in NYC makes me so happy. The food, the fast paced energy, the fashion, and the history. I usually visit during warmer months, but I decided to do a January Winter trip for an entirely new experience. 

 I stayed at two very cute hotels during this week long stay, both Triumph Hotels. The first hotel was, The Evelyn Hotel, located in NoMad, north of Madison Square Park. It's also just blocks away from the Empire State Building, and centrally located. I love how much character the hotel has. From the pretty lobby, to the beautiful hallways, to the tasteful modern rooms. The gorgeous cocktail and oyster bar, Tusk Bar, located downstairs has a gorgeous sophisticated atmosphere.

On this trip, I also did a few store visits, including Generation Love, What Goes Around Comes Around, and Bergdorf Goodman. I met the loviest VIP sales associate, and now friend, Mirika Curaj, at Bergdorf Goodman, who I highly recommend for all of your personal shopping. On this trip, I also enjoyed dines at Planta (one of my favorite vegan restaurants), Serafina (Upper East Side location), Lupetto, Park Avenue Tavern, and Balthazar in Soho for coffee.

The second hotel I stayed at was The Iroquois. The Iroquois is a boutique luxury hotel located      in Midtown. What I liked most about this hotel was how close it was to Grand Central Station and Fifth Ave. I always love staying in Midtown, because it's right in the middle of the city, and easy to get to and from anywhere in the city. This trip was so much fun, and I cannot wait to be back NYC!

This is my first official outfit post for 2018. I am so excited for what's to come this year, I truly feel like this is my year, and last year was a learning experience. I just came back from Bimini, in the Bahamas (which was so beautiful), and now, I am ready to get back to my daily grind. I have so many exciting collabs coming up, as well as new pieces for my swimwear line, Tosh Swimwear coming out soon!

So let's face it, I shot this outfit in December (before I went blonder at Igk Salon Miami), and am finally getting around to posting this chic outfit. You can never go wrong with a suede coat when it's cold out! This amazing vintage brown suede Gucci coat is from What Goes Around Comes Around Miami. 

 I paired the beautiful coat with a very affordable classic white button down blouse underneath, vegan leather high waisted pants, (these are a random pair I found at Nordstrom, but here are an exact look a like for under $50!), and black thigh high suede boots. I accessorized the look with a wine colored Givenchy "Antigona" handbag and Céline tortoise sunglasses.
