Home Sweet Home

Hi Guys.  So I'm lucky enough to have this lovely Friday off and it's such a beautiful day in NYC I can't wait to get out and explore my city.  I hope to make stops in Central Park to enjoy the day, maybe Soho for some shopping, and later tonight my friend's b-day at the Me Bar roof deck.  Before I head out I wanted to do a quick outfit post.  I took these photos a while ago, but never posted and now is as good a time as any.

I took these photos the last time I was home at my parents house and while I was there I went to the local mall.  I grew up with this mall and used to love it, but I've seen it go down hill more and more each time I come back.  However I did find this super cute romper by Bisou Bisou at JC Penny.  This is normally not a place I frequent for my fashion finds, but hey when in Rome.  I was really surprised by the amazing colors in this romper.  It reminded me of one of those beautiful, blazing red sunsets you can only get at the beach.  And on sale for a great price, I just couldn't resist.

Worn with my Irregular Choice Wowee Zowee heels.  The heel on this shoe is so amazing.  It's a bunch of rectangles piled on top of each other to make a haphazard stack.  And I love the way the front part is very classic black and gold straps to balance things out.  Oh and they are super comfortable!

Kendra Scott bib necklace.

Double Happiness Ring.

Lauren Merkin clutch.

That's all for now.  Off to enjoy this beautiful day outdoors!

Although I hadn't been blogging for a while, I was definitely still taking pics.  I took these photos while home at my parents house over Easter.  Their porch is very relaxing and I love swinging on the porch swing.

!Wearing an Anthropologie dress and and an Eddera gold leaf headband.  I love this head band.  It totally makes me feel like a Greek goddess!

Nine West Elkies.

Abalone three stone earrings I picked up at a trade show.

Double Happiness gold ring.  I love so much of their jewelry.  I can't get enough!

What's Cookin Good Lookin?

This past weekend NYC held it's annual Big Apple BBQ Block Party, where BBQ restaurants and famous Pit Masters from all over come and cook up delicious food for the folks in NYC.  The food was amazing and it's safe to say I ate my own body weight in BBQ.

On the first day of the BBQ I wore a long an roomy dress so I could easily sit on the ground while eating as much BBQ as I wanted.  Tribal print silk maxi dress from Forever 21 with Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Hobo.

I added on some random wooden bangles from H&M and a sapphire cuff bracelet from Kevia.

Also added on these little flower ear buds.  The petals just fall over the ear for a sweet and delicate look.

Here's a shot of the just some of the people in NYC who love their BBQ!

A shot of some of the best pulled pork I've ever had thanks to Big Bob's BBQ. 

Also some yummy ribs from Pappy's BBQ.

A shot of the sauces and rubs they had for sale.  I took home some Big Bob's.

On my second day at the BBQ I went with a pair of baggy boyfriend jeans from American Eagle with a peach tank with gold studs from Express (sorry the studs which make the shirt interesting are kinda hard to see in the photos, but you can click to make the photos bigger).

Also wore my nautical rope necklace from Anthropologie.

And my double finger ring from a Soho street artisan.

Lastly I paired my outfit with these cream Faryl Robin Madison wedges.

What's the best BBQ you guys have had?  Let me know!
