New York!!

My trip to New York was incredible!! We spent the weekend shopping, eating, sightseeing, and of course... tons of walking! We stayed at an amazing boutique hotel in the Flat Iron district (check it out here). Our stay was lovely and next time we go we will definitely be staying there again! Naturally I had to bring my camera with me where ever we went so I included some photos of the highlights of the weekend!!


We saw these trees on our drive down and with the stormy background I couldn't resist snapping a photo!

Delicious Enchiladas I enjoyed for dinner at Dos Caminos. One was covered in a chile verde sauce and the other in mole sauce! Yummy!!




Seeing the beautiful artwork at the Met!



My favorite piece from the Modern wing!



A bowl of yummy french onion soup at an adorable diner around the corner from the Met.




Signs of Spring behind the Met!!



Love the lighting on this one!


I can't wait for my next trip to NYC so I can check off the rest of the items on my list that I didn't get to do this time around!
In the meantime check out this amazing store that we just happened to wander into...

Photo of the day!

I was lucky enough to spend the past weekend in NYC (Pics to come!) and of course had a blast! We drove in on Friday and by the time we got to the city the temperature had reached 84˚!! That is summer weather people!! Anyway, because 2 hours and 37 minutes ago was the official start of Spring I have decided to post my final and favorite of my Winter photos for this year! This was taken while cross country skiing in the local state park. We went in the early afternoon while the sun was shining and in the perfect spot! Perfect natural lighting + pretty scenery = pure bliss.

Academy Awards 2011 Red Carpet

This year's academy awards was filled with many gorgeous dresses! I was finally able to narrow down my top three!


            Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa



Not only is this dress beautiful it was also partially designed by 14-year old Hailee! I love everything about this dress from the color to the silhouette!



            Mila Kunis in Elie Saab




My absolute favorite part about this dress is the color... closely followed by the stunning lace... not to mention the beautiful layers.... To be honest I think it would take a lot less time for me to tell you what I don't like about this dress. Nothing.

            Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Giorgio Armani Prive



      Absolutely stunning! I cannot get over this dress, the color compliments her skin so nicely! The side            ruching also adds some very pretty, simple detail. Love, love, love!
