New York - The sights

Three weeks on, and New York seems like a distant memory. I wanted to share some of my touristy pics, great memories of a city I yearn to visit again. Hope you enjoy this small selection, believe me I have hunners!

All this, and somehow I still ended up in a kid's playground!

I've been tango'd

Did you have a good weekend dear readers, yes? good. Here's an outfit from the weekend with my newly purchased wedges and cape from NY. Stylish or 'You've been tango'd', you decide. Either way, I'll still love ya!

New York - Halloween

Taken off Bleeker St, NY

Taken at the Chelsea Market, NY 

Happy Halloween dear readers! Are you a trick or treater?? I used to love Halloween as a kid, would wander the dark streets for hours in search of the best sweeties; a neighbour up the road used to make toffee apples, but you had to be quick, as word always spread fast! We used to tell jokes, sing a song or do a turn, kids these days just want the loot and run (and there you have it, I'm officially an old fart!)

Here's a few snaps from my recent trip, New Yorkers love Halloween, decorations followed where ever I went. My favourite has to be this town house off Bleeker St, I stood and looked at this while I polished off a cupcake from the Magnolia Bakery. The Chelsea Market was another amazing place if your a foody, you must check this out, a plethora of goodies to be had.

New York - My best mate Fi

We almost had the same shoes 

Fellow colour blocker

 

I have ten chins in this pic but I love it, she looks stunning 

We shared a lot of laughs

Amazing outfit, love the shoes 

We share a love of unique tights

Let me introduce you to my best friend in the whole wide world Fi. Not only is she stylish and unique, but has the biggest unselfish heart, I love her bones. Childhood friends, we have still managed to keep our friendship going despite the distance; she lives in Glasgow, Scotland in my home town. I was thrilled to spend the week with her in NY, we just picked up where we left off. Her style has always inspired me and the reason I have the confidence to dress how I like, when I like. She shares my love for colour, has an amazing collection of decorative tights and mixes it up like no other I know. All her New York outfits were incredible. I love you Fi, until what meet again soon xxxxxxxxxxxxx
