I haven't been updating lately since I've been spending the weekend frolicking around New York City with
Jasmine of Transient Withdrawal attending blogger events, shopping, and taking crazy amounts of pictures. She left earlier today and I miss her like crazy already! Hopefully the next time I see her in person it'll be on the west coast! I lived in California for a couple of years when I was younger and I haven't been back since.
The first full day of her weekend on the east coast didn't go exactly as planned. On Friday we were going to shop in the morning until the Mod Swap event in the evening but we ended up spending the afternoon relaxing in my apartment and watching the most recent episode of Project Runway which was perfect for our exhaustion. We eventually made our way into the city and had some time to walk around and take outfit shots.
Jasmine and I decided to try out day to night outfits - the outfit above was the day version of my look. The city flats I'm wearing from Gap are absolutely amazing and they make walking all day a piece of cake. I've wore them out this entire summer so I will definitely need to invest in a new pair. When it came time to head over to the Mod Swap event, Jasmine and I switched into our night looks. I just threw on a nice blazer and some black wedges.

The Mod Swap was amazing and I had an awesome time meeting and seeing so many other fashion bloggers! The event was held at Black Door and each attendee brought two items to swap and we were also able to pick from racks of Modcloth items! I can't wait to show off the dress I snatched up as well as the two pieces I swapped from fellow bloggers. Even though the lighting was dim I snapped a few shots before leaving. There was also a photobooth where you could pose with hilarious props

Tieka from Selective Potential.
I was able to meet Emily and reunite with
Jenny that night as well! They're such sweet girls and it's always crazy seeing other bloggers in person no matter how many times I've met them. After we left the event with our new swag, Jenny, Jasmine, and I wandered over to Hill Country Chicken which is right near Madison Square Park. They might have had the best chicken I've had in a really, really long time. It was a great and delicious way to end the night! Be sure to check back soon to see how Jasmine and I spent our next day in NYC!
