J&C in NYC

          New York City; What's not to love? There's food from all over the world, shopping for every budget, and entertainment in all forms. So whenever we get the chance, we take the short trip to the city and make a day of exploring and enjoying. And of course it's fun to put together a chic "New Yorker" ensemble and hold our own with the fashionistas that strut the streets. 

          

          Our most recent trip was in mid-February so it was cold and we needed to dress for warmth yet still be stylish. Here's a breakdown of how we did it:

               C wore a silky beige blouse with studded gold buttons and a pussybow, black skinny jeans, black knee high flat boots, a short black wool

                               coat, a taupe fur vest (outerwear courtesy of J), and a cream knit scarf.

               J wore blue-violet skinny jeans, a black open knit pullover sweater over a metallic gold t-shirt, a shoestring, chain, and spikes necklace, 

                              black wedge booties, and a grey + black tribal print BB Dakota wrap coat with a grey knit scarf.

          So as per usual, we did some serious shopping and hit the jackpot at a few of our favorite NYC stores like Forever 21, Amsterdam, and Mr. Joe's. From blouses and peplum tops to colored pants and jewelry, we definitely did a good job; We always shop around for the best deals and buy what we love for less.

          After a tiring day of shopping and picture taking, we found a little resto/bar called The Liberty NYC, which is now one of our favourite spots, ever. It's decor is the epitome of New York, with black and white photographs and portraits, dark hardwood floors, mirrors, and minimalist everything else. We sat down and were greeted by a super cool Australian waiter who didn't card us, which was great since C is definitely under the drinking age in the U.S. And since it was Happy Hour we ordered several of their signature Moscow Mules- which is a simple yet oh-so-refreshing cocktail of vodka, ginger ale, and lime. C ordered a Margarita Pizza and J had a turkey club masterpiece with fries cooked in duckfat that were divine. (So much so that we didn't get a picture of them in time. haha)...

          The moral of this story is: If you aren't already a fan of NYC, give the city a day and it'll change your mind. There's so much to see and do, and we haven't even cracked the surface. Until next time... <3.
