Over the weekend my roommate’s parents visited to help her move to Chicago for a few months (read: VERY SAD DEPRESSED SAHRA in the future). Whenever they’re in town they graciously treat us to meals, drinks, and shopping at the top places in the city.
For brunch we went to the famed, timeless B Bar and Grill on Bowery. I wore a Targeet dress, with my DB Sandals, vintage bag, and my hair in a bun I made using the tutorial from Forever Amber, which can be found here. 
After brunch and packing up Eliza’s bedroom we headed to Cafe Bar, an adorable lounge that doubles as a day time family destination in Astoria, Queens. Not only is the decor amazing, but they offer amazing food and drinks. We met up with a family of friends to say hello to their son and played Pictionary while I sipped Very Berry Mojitos. This adventure was immediately followed by a cab to the UES for our favorite classic Italian restaurant, Giovanni’s Venticinque.
After the amazing, filling, delectabe meal we rushed downtown for a super secret last surprise for my best friend… Harry Potter in Imax/3D! Though I’d already seen the movie, seeing it in Imax/3D was even better, and the company was perfection.
For the evening’s events I wore this BCBG dress, Aldo wedges, and a Forever 21 varsity jacket.
All in all, it was an amazing last day, though now I’m rather sad. and alone. well, more fashion for you to enjoy then!

Last night I attended the launch of Jeffrey Campbell’s new bag line at a Fourth of July party at LF stores in SoHo. I walked into free lemonade from girls wearing various pieces of American Flag apparel (totally IN right now, right?) and cupcakes, cake, and everything themed. I immediately found my fellow blogger friends amongst the plethora of associates mixed with the “too cool for school” teenage crowd.
After saying hello and getting accustomed to the situation I took a look around the store. to be honest, I was scared for my life. LF Stores is the epitome of force fed fashion, catering to the personality and personal taste-less followers of the Nylon bible. You’ve got your crop tops, American flag shorts, fringed “vintage” tees, and all-you-can-wear high waisted “vintage” Levi shorts. Oh, and did I mention the Jeffrey Campbell Lita’s?
Amongst the rubble of fashion vomit I managed to find the Sam Edelman heels I’ve been lusting after, as well as this gorgeous kimono.
Okay, so I don’t completely hate the shop. I think, piece by piece, they are some amazing finds. But for the most part, I’d rather not be force fed my daily dose of Nylon Magazine’s poolings all at once.
Anyway, so after waiting through two bag giveaways (one of which was won by my dear friend Monroe!), 6 of us decided to go for sushi at Noodle Zen on St. Mark’s.
Since I’d already had sushi for lunch, I opted for a vegetable tempura udon, which was quite good, especially alongside my orange chu-hi beverage.
Now for what I wore:
Misfits tee from Hot Topic (DIY/cutout myself)
Forever 21 shorts
Aldo Wedges
Gifted R&Em bag (can be found here)
Peter Grimm hat
TopShop bracelets
And now I leave you with this photobooth strip of Nicole and I making funny faces! ❤
