american dreams

 I'm not leaving. There, I've said it. If only I could snap my fingers and make it true. I would love to stay long enough to attend New York Fashion Week. To take that pilates class I planned on going to. To go to the top of the Empire State. (Shameful, really, that i didn't have the time!) To just set out on foot and explore more (if thats possible!) But instead, off I go. No more gluten free bagels (yes I know, my thighs will thank me). No more morning Starbucks run. Back to cold old Melbourne. Sigh. So here it is. My last New York blog post. A snapshot of some of the true American moments from the trip. And incase I need to say it one more time, I heart NY x K 

1) Sunset from my rooftop, sigh

2) Dinner in the Meat Packing district

3) I will never get sick of riding in yellow cabs

4)My hubby enjoyed a few Buds over the course of our trip

4) The WTC memorial, inspiring, and sad

5)The great Statue of Liberty

6) Magnolia Bakery, thanks Sex and the City 

7)The great flag represents such patriotism 

a week in pictures

 As we round the corner into our final week (crying, literally) I am still amazed at the amount of photos I am taking. Can you ever really take too many photos? I have decided no. The weather here continues to be HOT and I continue to be busy every second. Between school and studies, and shopping, and eating and soaking up the culture I literally haven't stopped since I got here. Just got myself a little fatter. And myself a few more trinkets. HA! But who am I to complain? I'm in NYC baby. So enjoy my latest pics and wish me luck for my final week in the big apple. x K

1 & 5) Brooklyn Bridge, walking across it to burn some calories!

2) Amazing wall of hats, so many great instore displays here

3) Hubby and I rooftop, enjoying the sunset and view

4) Can't seam to get rid of the tribal trend, lucky i rock it!

6 & 8) Fun weekend stop to Coney Island

7) Eating the best Vegan Gluten Free Ice-cream ever....at Lula's

9) New York and The World

from the rooftops

Nothing quite takes my breath away like the New York City skyline. It is one of those views that I could never ever get tired of. Like being near the Eiffel Tower at dusk, or watching the sunset over Santorini, or seeing a brand new pair of Louboutins (before their glorious red sole starts to wear off!). Only better. And to me, an amazing print dress holds the same appeal. This season I am having a love affair with scarf prints, and I think there is nothing more fabulous than a scarf print dress. A nod to the amazing Versace catwalks of SS 12, anything scarf printed is very on trend right now. I just couldn't walk past this amazing BCBG Max Azria maxi with its gorgeous front pleat detail and sweeping floor length skirt. And while I think it is perfectly glamorous for these soaring New York temperatures (even hotter from the rooftops!), Im willing to say I will probably attempt it back home with some sort of black fur to keep out the cold. How fabulous! So now I ask, what takes your breathe away? x K
