Restaurant Week NYC

It is currently the final days of Restaurant Week in New York City, and I finally took part in it this year. I decided to check out Dos Caminos in Soho since I love Mexican food & all things spicy.

Everything was delicious, and I highly recommend going here. Even the outdoor seating made it an overall great experience.

After walking around and window shopping, we decided to have a coffee break. Instead of the usual Starbucks, we checked out a cafe called Nespresso (I always thought it was just an espresso maker store, but I was wrong). I studied abroad to Italy during my senior year of college, and I really enjoyed Italian coffee. Here at Nespresso, I finally had my precious latte macchiato, as well as macarons. Perfect place to stop by for a decadent coffee/snack break with friends.

I also did a tiny bit of shopping in Soho.

First Post

After reading and being inspired by numerous blogs, I have finally decided to come around and create my own. I just thought this would be a fun visual way of chronicling my interests, desires, memories, and adventures.

As a recent grad from FIT, I have a great appreciation for fashion...I am also a girl who likes material things. So expect a good amount of posts on style, shopping, beauty, and product reviews. 

Let's start with my recent gifts/purchases from birthday money: 

MAC Liquidlast Eyeliner in Point Black
Chanel Quad Eyeshadow Palette in Dunes
Gift #2 from boyfriend - Marc Jacobs City Tee 
Sperry Loafers

Marc by Marc Jacobs Stardust iPhone 4 Cover

Chanel Style 5182 Wayfarers
