Back to the Basics

There was a minute when I lost myself. With so much going personally and academically, blogging was becoming too much. I lost sight of why I originally started blogging- to talk about items I love, to create an archive of my favorite outfits, and to diary my adventures in life. I will be reposting outfits and a select few of the posts I had on my Wordpress account. I'm excited to be back on blogger and using my original layout- it feels just like home.

lippy gloss

After what was expected to be a quick trip to pick up some dinner, I found myself wandering in downtown for a couple of hours.  While doing so, I stumbled into drugstore heaven C.O. Bigelow.  I explored perfumes, lotions, and even picked up a new lip gloss by Butter London.  Primrose Hill Picnic has now become my new obsession- it's the perfect color that can be paired with a light or smokey eye.  I'm excited to find out if this amazing gloss will win me over- although it will be very difficult to compete with my lip stains! 

the nom noms

Once upon a time, a girl went to New York City for two months.  She centered her weekends around exploring diners, bakeries, and locating the best hummus shop around.  Her roommates joined her as she walked blocks for banana split cupcakes and for the discovery of a late-night, local diner.  Au revoir, nom noms! We'll see you next weekend.

LNO: right place, right time

Saturday was a magical day for my shoe closet.  I thought it was just another day of consignment shopping- but I definitely was in the right place, at the right time.  An hour after the (fabulous) previous owner dropped these off, I casually walked into my next shoe romance. Even though they deserved a full-on induction ceremony, the roommates and I decided a night out in Manhattan would suffice (LNO).  Welcome, Loubies!
