At the Met


This is my travel bag. Slouchy, lots of storage space and goes with almost everything.

I love to walk after I indulge on dessert. I think the second chocolate croissant with fresh whipped cream was pushing things...

Upon reaching the Met steps, I had a sudden urge to sit in the same corner, I approximated, where Blair Waldorf and her doppelgangers usually lunch on yogurt.

These are one of my favorite pair of sunglasses (Jee Vice) not too big or too round, just right.

{Marc Jacobs top, Blue Cult cut offs, Vintage cardigan, Nightingale bag, Old Navy ballet flats}

I already can't wait to come to New York again, as Thomas Wolfe was quoted: "One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years."

You look gorgeous in those glasses. I always have a hard time picking them out. They're either too small ro too big for me. I will have to check them out. And the Marc Jacobs top is adorable on you.

Trust your legs to look that good in flats. ENVY, SO MUCH ENVY.

Carine said...

I think i know that building behind you the green awning looks familiar as does the script font... hmm?

Great legs and bag lady!

French Frosting said...

That chocolate croissant sounds mouth watering. I really like your pairing up a cardigan to the bright top. Ballet flats are a chic alternative to walking shoes. You look so classy. It looks like something "Jackie O" would have worn in her twenties about town.

Sitting where Blair sits? Heaven. Wearing Marc Jacobs while doing it? Divine!

Your top makes me think of my (currently posted) poppy bandana! Very lovely. Chocolate croissants in double. Wow, that is daring...

Ashley said...

LoL! I took the same pics last time I was in NY, sitting on the steps at the Met just like Blair Waldorf & her minions, too funny! I wonder how many people do that every day? LoL, I kinda love being touristy sometimes :)

I completely agree with the quote. Living in the UK I don't get to visit New York as much as I would like, last time I was there was 2008 and I can not wait to return.

You look great here... that bag will always be one of my favourites.
