Yayoi Kusama: Give Me Love

This past week I went to visit the Give Me Love exhibit located in the heart of Chelsea. It was different than any gallery I have ever been to because unlike places where you couldn't touch the art pieces we were able to put stickers on an empty room that was once blank. Since I went a few weeks after the exhibit was opened to the public, many of the white was already covered with stickers! I personally really enjoyed how interactive this gallery was and it was definitely a worthwhile experience.

Channeling my inner artsy vibes by wearing a navy fedora from Forever 21. I love how versatile the piece is and how it can be easily paired with many items I already had in my closet. It was also a relatively chilly day so I paired a basic white v-neck from H&M with a pair of high waisted jeans from Pacsun. To tie it all together I wore my black moto jacket from Forever 21. It is a staple piece in my closet and I recommend everyone to have that go to jacket they can pair with anything!

Hope everyone had a great week!

  

May Recap

I spent the month of May finishing up classes and finals and now I am finally back in the city! I have been back for over 2 weeks now and I have crossed out quite a few places that I have wanted to try. As soon as I got back I tried Potatopia and Popbar located in the West Village. As a lover for fries Potatopia was just as tasty as I expected it to be. I spent the day wandering around West Village and somehow made my way to Chinatown!

I was also able to go to MoMA, my all time favorite museum! The last time I went was some time during my winter break so a lot has changed since I have last been there. The one thing that will never change will be my favorite corner out of the entire museum. The view is great and I love looking down at the garden outside of MoMA.

The next day, my best friend and I went to a restaurant that we have wanted to try for the longest time. Freemans is a very cute restaurant located in the Lower East Side. It's definitely a "hidden gem" as everyone likes to call it. It's hidden in a little alleyway, but you'll be surprised how pleasant the exterior looks.

I spent this past weekend at the American Museum of Natural History. Unfortunately the infamous whale exhibit was closed by the time we got there so I wasn't able to see it :( Nonetheless I still enjoyed my time at the museum! I was also able to capture the dark sky before it started to pour. After the museum we went to grab a bite at Shake Shack! Their burgers and fries never tasted so good after such a long day.

That's all for now! Until next time!

Bohemian Vibes

I am a huge sucker for lace, so when I saw this top I immediately knew I needed it. I love the ivory color and how it is only part lace. It is the perfect detail to spice up any outfit. I am always thinking about possible ways I can style pieces before I buy them so I can wear them more than once! I decided to pair it with these American Eagle olive jeggings which is one of my favorite go to colors for the colder months. I haven't worn these taupe Shoemint boots in a while and wearing it for the first time in ages made me remember what I loved about them. I love how comfy they are and since it is a neutral color it is easy to match the rest of the things in my wardrobe.

Hope everyone is staying warm in the cold weather!

Cozy Knits

One thing that I love is a good sale. I took advantage of the additional 50% off sale section at Urban Outfitters and scored this ivory knit sweater. Who can say no to sales and cozy knits?! I love simple outfits that I can easily put together without much thought. These ripped American Eagle jeans is perfect for a laid back Saturday outfit!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Coldest of the Cold

A few days ago I decided to roam around Chelsea on one of the coldest days of winter. It still surprises me how cold NYC can get in the winter despite experiencing the cold in Buffalo. The weather has been so cold that it demanded me to keep myself warm if I wanted to leave the house!

Some of my favorites of 2014 are making a reappearance in this outfit. This coat from H&M has been a staple of mine all winter. Don't judge how thin it may seem, but it actually keeps me pretty warm. The jacket is a little big on me, so it's a plus for layering! I have never been a beanie/hats type of person but this grey beanie I picked up from F21 has been something I never leave the house without. Last but not least these booties from Target has been the perfect pair of shoes for so many outfits this past year. The heel is the perfect for everyday wear and it gives me a little height as well!

Hope everyone has had a great start to the new year so far & cheers to another year filled with good vibes and adventures!
