NYC IN AUGUST PART 1

 

Before this past trip to NYC last month, I had not been to NYC since right before 2020. This trip to NYC was longggg overdue, I've missed the city! NYC has a special place in my heart. (I have a super amazing surprise coming soon for you guys that I will be announcing on my YouTube, so make sure you're subscribed). This trip was so much fun, I didn't want to leave. We stayed for an entire week. Honestly, staying in NYC for a work trip for an entire week is perfect, because you can get so much done and still have fun.

My first hotel on the Upper West Side, Hotel BelleClaire, was absolutely fantastic! I felt like I lived in the city, it felt like true home. It's so chic, and I love the blue decor inside the rooms and hallways. It had chic apartment vibes, and I will most definitely be back. The Upper West Side is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city because it's so much calmer than Midtown and Downtown, it's cleaner than most parts of the city, and it's so close to Central Park (Louie and I love Central Park and walked there from the hotel), and it's very close to Fifth Ave, which is a major plus.

 There are so many cool restaurants in the area, I like to discover a new one every time I visit. As soon as I landed (I landed in Newark, and got to the hotel in less than 20 minutes during the afternoon on a weekday), I checked in, and walked down the street to an amazing restaurant I've always wanted to try called, Maison Pickle. Now, I don't like pickles, but I've heard they have great ones (photos below), but I can say their menu has such a variety of items, and their food did not disappoint. I highly recommend starting with a refreshing cocktail and their famous butter bread loaf! 

This trip was an amazing, life changing, (many life realizations happened during this trip for me), and an overall special trip. I saw NYC in a way I never had this trip. Not to mention, I changed my hair color! I came to to NYC blonde, and am brunette now. I have a very rich dark chocolate brown color, that was done at IGK Salon in SoHo. I wanted a new hair color to go with my new life changes, and Liv at IGK did not disappoint. I was so nervous to do a drastic change, but this was the best decision I could have ever made. I feel like a whole new person. I also feel even more ambitious with this new hairstyle.

I also finally visited the flagship Tiffany & Co store and did my take on Breakfast At Tiffany's, actually eating at Blue Box Café, located on the store's sixth floor. You can read the full post here.

November Earth Tones with Lovers + Friends x Revolve

:: Outfit Details ::

Dress:: Lovers + Friends | Shop new arrivals by Lovers + Friends from Revolve here

Jacket:: Lovers + Friends

Bag:: Gucci 

Sunglasses:: (On Sale!) Dior

Shoes::(On Sale!) Marc Fisher | Shop a variety of Marc Fisher boots from Nordstrom here 

A great outfit idea that can be worn for so many different events such as a daytime outing, a casual work look, a date look, a shopping outing- is a mini dress and boots. Not just a mini dress, a mini dress styled with a cute jacket and boots. Not only is this look chic and comfortable, but it's so versatile. My dress and faux python biker jacket are both by Lovers + Friends from Revolve!  

The best thing about this look is that you can have fun with mixing and matching the neutrals within your dress/coat/tights/boots. I love wearing earth tones. If you're into neutrals like me, you can wear the same dress, and switch out your coats and boots to change up the outfit each time you wear it. (If you live in really cold weather, add a longer coat, thick tights, and over the knee boots.) My suede booties are by Marc Fisher. Marc Fisher makes the cutest, comfortable, and affordable booties.
