Pants on fire

I totally lied saying that I would do a post as soon as I got back from NYC, because obviously that never happened. School happened, and extra-curriculars happened, social life happened, and lots of other shananigans happened to say the least!
ANYWAYS it really is time for a new post.
Sooooooo I did have one full day in NYC in early September. I really did want to take some Sartorialis-esque street shot photos, but its kinda hard doing that when you have to pack the things you want to do all in one day!
SoHo was amazing as per usual. My sister and I were the first ones inside Topshop that morning, where there was some pretty great stuff. I was especially impressed with their accessories with all their great pendants, earrings, rings and bags. There were some great items that we found there. I found a pair of ballet flats which are literally to die for. They're not your regular ballet flats, no, these have gone one step further. They have ribbons attached to them, so that they look like pointe shoes! You haven't seen real ballet flats til you've seen these. They're the real deal.
Next door to Topshop was this fantastic store called Madewell, which I had never really heard anything about, except that fashion icon Alexa Chung is doing a line there. There where some amazing pieces of clothes in there. They were pretty much basics with a kick; some glitter here, a zipper there. It was great!
A trip to the Guggenheim, and a Billy Elliot evening performance later, our time in THA City was up and we hopped back into our mini van to return to T.
