New York City….. Fashionistas

This week I have been touring around New York City looking for new bits and bobs with my cousin and we went decided to venture to Brooklyn. When she first mentioned Brooklyn I was skeptical but she said I would like it, so we jumped on the subway and arrived in this ‘East London meets Portobello’ like area. Williamsburg is full of cute edgy restaurants, artwork, vintage shops and random street stalls.

Whenever I go to a new city I try to avoid the tourist areas so I can get a real feel for the city, I don’t want to visit H&M or Zara I want to find the cool vintage stores, eat in the niche restaurants and live like a local. So far my favourite areas in New York are the meatpacking district for restaurants and clubs, Soho for shops and Williamsburg for the fashionista lifestyle. The first thing I noticed when we got to Williamsburg were the amount of well dressed men and street art. I appreciate all different senses of style this side of town had its own cool edge about it, firstly I could see the sky because the buildings were not sky scrapers.

Watching someone create this master piece was so interesting, walking down the street we passed street stalls with jewellery, random books and people selling their old bits and bobs. 

If you love art this is somewhere you need to visit, it’s full of life and street art was everywhere. We had a random photographer stop us to take our photo. I have a thing for street art and we found it on every corner. 

Bone Thugs NYC was a cool street store that made little jumpers for dogs….. super cool and very random! 

The street art was so colourful and inspirational, coming from London we don’t have enough bright coloured street art! Such bright popping colours and a great back drop for photo-shoots. 

We walked into this random vintage store and found these two giant paintings… how funny are these?

I don’t think I want to live in London anymore… I think it’s time for a change…. you only live once….. NYC here I come!

Have an amazing day…and book your next holiday!

New York Baby!

I am in New York for a week on holiday and I am overwhelmed….. I love the accent…. architecture… food…. I am constantly looking up at the buildings and trying to indulge in this NYC lifestyle. So far I feel like I am watching a movie, standing in time square I was in awe staringat the billboards! I can’t contain my excitement of  looking at all the American shops, wandering in Tribeca and this week I will be going out in the evenings…. checking out China Town and Soho and today was an interesting experience taking the subway! It’s hard not to compare everything to London but New York has it’s own buzz!

I am with my amazing cousin and we are having such a ridiculous time, I have laughed so much my stomach hurts, on Sunday we went to Yoga and I am still recovering from the intense hour session. Since I have been in the city I have hit up Forever21, found a cute pair of GAGA heels in BEBE…. we went to this cute indoor shisha cafe and have been filming together!

I can’t wait to upload the new video on the channel! Today we popped into MAC and got a few bits because things are slightly cheaper than in the UK, this week I will be getting a microdermabrasion which I have never had before. I will be site seeing with my mum and vlogging with the cousin! I have a busy week ahead but I am having a fab time… here are the best bits of the week so far!

Peanut butter cherrios? Really….. I controlled the urge to buy these! Above is the view from the apartment, how beautiful the concrete jungle is!

Almond peanut butter tastes really good, we had this as a light evening snack with apple slices as a healthy treat. Almond peanut butter is a lot lighter and thinner in consistency than peanut butter.

I am so use to see capri sun in certain packaging… how sad that I decided to take a picture! 

Detox green juice is full of lemon and ginger, celery, apples, aloe vera and kale! This highly nutritional juice is great with breakfast is packed with vitamins and gives you a great energy kick! YUM!!

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of this, this is Jordan (Katie Price) on the top of a cab… classy! 

What a great time so far in NYC, there is a slight chill in the air but I have been shopping and enjoying the NYC lifestyle… maybe a bit too much as I have had quite a few late night trips to the grocery store to pick up fresh chocolate pudding! I have bought some bits from Forever 21, MAC and I am looking for an exclusive trainer store so I can buy some new converse!

Hope you enjoy… a new haul will be up on the youtube channel when I am back in the UK! Just a sneek peek into my week so far!

Have a FAB day and don’t forget to love us on facebook, tumblr and youtube!
