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!

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND SOHO NYC

One of my favorite stores in the entire world is, What Goes Around Comes Around, for obvious reasons! WGACA is an Iconic premiere vintage store that carries every designer name from Hermès to Chanel to Dior. WGACA is a lifestyle. 

They believe that luxury craftsmanship and premier vintage should be revered, preserved, and adored for years to come. Their goal is to create a sustainable company where the finest collection of pristine, pre-owned luxury, and vintage pieces can find new homes. 

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting their flagship NYC store in the heart of SoHo, to shoot some of my favorite vintage bags. I also found my dream Birkin- the one that's been on my manifestation board for a year!

This store is pure heaven for any fashionista. Not limited to just handbags, WGACA carries jewelry, watches, accessories, clothing, and shoes too. If you're in NYC, it's totally worth stopping by one of their two locations to browse, shop, and manifest your future designer dream piece. I picked out a vintage gold themed Chanel look as one of my looks, that was stunning. My blue sequin mermaid Ronny Kobo dress that I paired with my future Hermès Birkin was my favorite look though!
