New York, I Love You...I do I do
















Hello! I am sorry for the lack of posts, vacations always seem to throw me off my groove! But boy oh boy do I love to travel! I wish I worked part time and traveled full time! I spent 5 full days in NYC and it was as great as I thought it would be. It was my second time in NYC and I still feel like I didn't have enough time to see everything, perhaps one needs to take a couple of months to really see the city! I spent almost one whole day in Brooklyn, which by the way is totally beautiful. When Brooklyn came to mind I always thought of "The BK" and Jay-Z but it is sooo much more! I also spent many hours in Central Park and loved every minute of it. I also saw NY Fashion Week's new home, the Lincoln Center and NYFW's old home Bryant Park. I did lots of shopping and found two very gorgeous vintage pieces! I ate amazing food and much more, I can go on for days and days but lets just say this will not be my last time in the big apple!

P.S. Outfit pics coming soon!

Pt. 2 of LACMA
















Here is a continuation to the last post, I forgot to mention that unfortunately we were unable to go through the entire museum so we missed out on art from Latin America, Asia and some from Europe. We did get to see many sculptures and installations though. The last picture of the giant vase/bowl(I really don't know what you would call that) was entirely made of silver! It was massive and I am guessing the upkeep of it must be difficult. The sculpturing of that piece was extremely detailed, every single outline was perfect. They also, had some paintings and installations by Andy Warhol but unfortunately it was the only building in the museum where they didn't allow pictures to be taken:(
The first couple of pictures are from outside the main entrance of the museum where they have an installation called "Urban Light" which includes about 200 vintage street lamps. It is very beautiful during the day so I can only imagine that it is even more beautiful at night when they are all lit up.
Though I don't know a lot about art, I do appreciate it very much and I definitely want to learn more, so if you have any favorite artist share them with me! And if you've never been to LACMA and like art, you should definitely go there!


Outfit:
H&M boys leather jacket
Flannel from my sisters closet
Riding boots from Rosebowl Flea Market
Sunnies from Betsey Johnson

Royalty and their dresses....
























LACMA currently has an exhibition called "Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700-1915. I've been wanting to see it and I finally had the chance, one of favorite gal pal's Alex went with me and it was like one of those cute dates you have with your girlfriends that you wish you had more often. We started our day with some coffee and breakfast sandwiches at Starbucks and then headed to the museum. The exhibition was everything I hoped for! I saw some of the most beautiful dresses and head/hair pieces. My favorite of them all was the cape in the last 2 pictures, I wish I had it now so that I could pack it with me to take on my NYC trip, which by the way is this coming week! I have many many pictures from the museum, the one's in this post are only from the fashion exhibit. I will have a second post from other artwork that I liked, so stay tuned!
