I feel so refreshed after the long Holiday weekend. I spent it exploring the City, receiving very exciting news, spending time with my family, and eating more sweets than I usually do. I have also decided to extend the Ted Baker contest until tomorrow, Midnight. You have 48 hours left to enter. A winner will be randomly selected and revealed soon after.

How was your weekend? What did you do?

My 4 Days at Trump Soho

Visiting New York, no matter how extended the time, never seems to last long enough. Known as the city that never sleeps; my bones thrive on the energy. Hours of sightseeing on foot, while fun, is equally exhaustive. In between scheduled appointments and spontaneous rendezvous a resting spot is key.

A colossal thank you to Trump Soho (and Coach!) for cordially hosting me. I will miss my plush hotel bed, mind-boggling sights and room service tremendously.


However, I did manage to bring home my slippers and intoxicatingly delicious bath soaps. Trump Soho was truly my home away from home in between go-sees and meetings.

I had the most delightful encounter on my second afternoon, while sitting in the lobby waiting for a friend, I was offered a chilled glass of champagne. Soon after, someone casually took a seat on the couch near me. When I turned to look, I think my eyes bugged out a little. It was Carson Daly. I used to run home from school to watch TRL not so many years ago. He's just as pleasant in person.


The room was sumptuously stocked with Vanity Fair and Ivanka Trump's wares. This picture book encompassed New York City's sights dating back as early as the 1900's.

On my last night, I spotted Rihanna walking in. Later when I ran out for Starbucks across the street, paparazzi were all lined up in front and snapped my photograph --it was a frightening yet equally exhilarating experience. Apparently they were waiting for Rihanna, it still made me smile.

{Don't forget to enter to win $250 from Ted Baker. You have until Midnight, tomorrow.
A winner will be randomly selected and revealed next week. Good luck!!}

The Aviator


{Modcloth jacket, Donni Charm scarf, Ecote backpack, Fiorentini + Baker boots}




My last night in New York was spent trolling Soho for a place to eat. Not being able to decide on a spot last minute with friends led to roaming the West Village and back. I ended up grabbing a hot slice of extra cheesy pizza with Alex and Jason at Bleecker Street Pizza around 10pm. It was well worth the wait! The authentic New York thing to do...

PS:
Have a great Thanksgiving, be safe and enjoy the long weekend!!! Let me know what you'll be serving tomorrow, I would love to know.

Breakfast in Soho


{Vintage coat, Lacoste sweater dress, Ralph Lauren watch, Vintage sunglasses + bag, Fiorentini + Baker boots}


My favorite meal of the day actually isn't breakfast, it's dinner. However, I can't pass up the chance to catch up with friends (Jillian and George) over huevos rancheros. Black beans are one of my favorite dishes, maybe because I'm Cuban? Eggs are an easy go-to, any time of day...




I chose comfort to walk around town in and decided on blending peach and plaid with my all black ensemble..
