Dynamic Duo Reunited

So here are the Dynamic Duo outfits that Jasmine and I styled up on her last day on the east coast! We didn't have much time to spend together since I had to go to work and class but we managed to wake up early for some breakfast and a photo shoot. I love that we both styled up this skirt differently even though we decided what our outfits were going to be in the same room. There's little ice cream cones all over the skirt and I'm in love with how adorable it is. I've been looking for that perfect blue skirt for a while now too! I can't wait to style it up again (now that I've finally done my enormous pile of laundry). Jasmine and I must have looked just a little bit silly walking around in matching skirts and jumping around for pictures. :P

It's been a couple of weeks and I still miss Jasmine! If only her visits were a monthly occasion - or if only I had enough money to fly over to California. Better start saving! :)

Me:
Urban Outfitters Shirt, Skirt, Ring
Forever 21 T-shirt
Aldo Sandals

Jasmine:
Gap T-shirt, Cardigan, Belt, Flats
Urban Outfitters Skirt
Forever 21 Bow

I've got so many meetings planned for this weekend and I feel like they're never ending. It's not so bad though since the meetings are all with people I can't wait to see. Plus I got to see one of my best friends last night who already graduated and is currently teaching in the Bronx. It's weird remembering that he has a full-time job now and I can't see him whenever I want since he's no longer just a five minute walk away from me. Then later tonight I might meet up with my friend from home to catch a movie. The movie theater near my house is giving away free popcorn and drinks with any ticket purchase. JACKPOT? I think so.

Great White Sweater

September 27, 2011

Great White Sweater

I invested in this super cozy sweater while I was shopping with Jasmine and Emily. For some reason I always find myself buying a new sweater during my yearly Topshop visit. Their sweaters are seriously irresistible and I probably also have a sweater problem. There's just something about seeing a giant sweater that makes me want to snuggle in it while watching a movie or reading a good book. That might also be why I like the colder seasons - trying to stay warm is always a lot more fun than trying to stay cool.

My growing sweater collection is also helping out recently since I'm feeling miserably sick. I'm feeling a little better today but yesterday was like death. Serves me right for waking up sick and still going to work and class from 10am until 10pm. Hopefully I'll feel completely better by the end of the day. This is when I wish I was at home so my mom could make me some chicken rice soup with carrots and celery. Om noms.

Dynamic Duo Vlog #2

I now present to you, the Dynamic Duo Vlog #2! This time we're in HD and we're still kicking ass in pajamas. Jasmine and I were a little bit tired and ridiculous in this video so please forgive us for our past-midnight insanity. Enjoy and check back in the next couple of days for our Dynamic Duo post! :)

Atlantic vs Pacific

September 21, 2011

Atlantic vs Pacific

After a weekend full of fashion blogging activities and shopping in the city, Jasmine and I were exhausted so we spent the next day in New Jersey. I decided to drive her down to the shore so she could see the Atlantic Ocean and compare it to the Pacific. We've all got our biases so of course Jasmine still preferred her California beaches - although, I have to admit, I might love the Pacific more since I used to live on the West Coast for a bit. I'll always love the Jersey shore though (not the show, the actually shore itself).

It was nice just getting to relax and take things slow for a day. Jeremy even came along for the ride and spent the day with us. While we were walking along the boardwalk, Jasmine hit the jackpot and was able to win a little, plush, minion (with the help of Jeremy).  Obviously this inspired us to watch Despicable Me after grabbing an early dinner on the Boardwalk and doing some extra, last-minute shopping. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. I can't get enough of those minions!

Check back tomorrow for the Dynamic Duo Vlog we filmed later that night! :)

Sheep's Meadow Picnic

September 19, 2011

Sheep's Meadow Picnic

Last Saturday, Jasmine and I traveled into the city for some lunch and shopping in Soho. We were able to meet up with Emily again before we all headed up to the Blogger Picnic in Central Park. It was a little bit surreal seeing so many bloggers all in one place - it was especially surreal seeing the bloggers who I read on a weekly basis. I got to meet some really awesome people such as Veronika from Tick Tock Vintage and Hope from A Flattering Tale. Hope, Jasmine, Tieka and I stuck away for a bit to snap some pictures. One of the most entertaining moments was definitely when a swim team walked over while serenading us and trying to raise money for an upcoming competition or something of the sort. Definitely something to remember.

I'm always a bit timid meeting new people at events like this so I didn't get to know most of the girls but a few of us went out to dinner afterward and I had some ridiculously delicious mashed potatoes and corn. I had a serious craving for corn and I didn't care that there was corn stuck between every single pair of teeth. To end the night, Jasmine and I wandered over to Times Square so she could do some shopping for her boyfriend, Robert. It was definitely a day well spent and I can't wait to post about the rest of my weekend with Jasmine!

Day into Night

September 13, 2011

Day into Night

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 (photobooth picture courtesy of The Swapaholics) - pictured is Emily from The Daily Fashionista, me, Jasmine, and 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!
