Christmas Wishes

I think this marks year three since I've made my Christmas Wish List via a blog post. Past lists seen here and here. I like to think that it makes it easier on my parents to see my wishes creatively displayed because let's be honest, I'm not the easiest person to buy clothes for.

Christmas in New York has treated me very well so far. Although my roommate and I had a minor mishap with sleezy car salesmen, excuse me, tree salesmen that resulted in us not paying $70 for a mini tree. Other than that the city is romantically lit and radiating with Christmas cheer.

I participated in Santa Con this past weekend, which was nothing like anything I've ever seen. Basically thousands of people dress up as Santa, Reindeer, Elves etc. and unitedly parade around the city shouting Christmas Carols in between pit stops at bars. This eventful day unfortunately resulted in me getting a terrible flu. Lesson learned.

I still have a couple of holiday oriented things remaining on my list to do here including: ice skating in Bryant Park, visiting the tree at Rockefeller (I know, I also can't believe I haven't seen it yet), and lastly, seeing Elf on Broadway.

I am leaving the city in 6 days to head back to the desert and I hear is in the mid 70s right now... I have to say, that sounds rather nice. I think I might pack my bikini.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Love,

Boot Skoot and Boogie

I was very excited to come home from a very long/stressful day at work to find my new boots waiting for me! I had to opt for the Forever 21 knock-off's of these Acne Pistol Boots because I live in New York and am poor beyond belief. However, I'm really happy with them and think they are a fantastic alternative.

Oh Nah Nah What's My Name

This post is kind of an ode to my favorite Brit, Alexa Chung. I don't know why but I feel like if she and I ever met that we would be instant best friends. I say that in a total non-stalkerish way... Alexa has effortless style and stays true to it.

Consistency in fashion is key.

I'm recovering from last night's events that consisted of whiskey cokes, old school Good Charlotte sing-a-longs (Shhhh don't tell), taxi rides, leather jackets, red lipstick and awesome dance moves.

Today's events so far have consisted of oatmeal with peanut butter (I swear it's good!), blogging in bed, Rihanna and iced coffee. Hopefully I'll fit in a yoga class and laundry too.

20-NOV

Zara November Lookbook

It is a beautiful day today in NYC! The sun is shining and the air is crisp. Weekend's spent here are the best. Let's be honest, everyday spent here is the best. There is so much to do and see it is hard to fit it all in.

Started my Saturday with the best bagel ever. This place is arguably the best bagel spot in NYC and I happen to live right above it. I'm going to go check out some thrift shops now in the UES and hopefully find some cool stuff for our apartment.

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

LOVE,

ABBY

Rainy Days

I cannot wait for Fall to arrive. It's probably due to the fact that I'm snuggled up on my couch, drinking a hot cup of coffee, gazing through the blurred window at the pouring rain that has triggered this desire. I simply cannot wait for chunky knit sweaters, lace-up heeled booties, faux-furs, thigh-high socks, burgundy stained lips and layers of denim.

Summer in New York has treated me well--don't get me wrong. I've thoroughly enjoyed shopping for jewelry at street markets, reading on the beach, sunshine in Central Park, outdoor concerts, fresh fruit and copious amounts of iced coffee, however I'm ready to switch gears.

My desired Fall wardrobe is reminiscent of J Crew's latest Look Book. Key word: desired. Here are some inspirational looks.
