NYC Shopping

Happy Monday, everybody!

As I mentioned in my last post {can you remember back that far?}, I spent a good amount of my time in NY shopping. 

Here's what I picked up...

-kate spade-

supercalafragilipstick in "pop art pink"

This lipstick is awesome. I noticed on Day Old News that hot pink lips are en vogue, so I thought I'd give the trend a try. I am all for it.

monogram notecards

 Oh, how I've loved these notecards from the first moment I laid eyes on them at the kate spade website. It was such a triumph to buy them and not pay shipping, haha.

-sample sale-

Walter Baker dress

I love this dress that I got on mega discount at a sample sale at Chelsea Market. I can even wear it to work. Score!

-Michael Kors-

Gold watch

I had been coveting this watch for over a year, stalking it online like Pinterest prey. I finally broke down and bought it, and it was my best & worst purchase of my vacation. Best, because I've wanted it for so long. Worst, because it cost me an arm & a leg, and then did this on the third wear:

Yes, the gold is rubbing off. No, thank you, Michael Kors. You can have your ridiculously beautiful, expensive, low quality watch back. It was so sad to see her go.

-street vendor-

knock off Kendra Scott earrings

After seeing Sofia Vergara sporting something similar on Modern Family, I knew I needed a pair of my own. These $15 knock offs will do until they break & I'm forced to pony up $90 to replace them with the real deal.

So, there you have it, my little Manhattan shopping spree. I had intended to buy myself one treat, something more in line with the lipstick or the stationery, not really a whole outfit of treats plus paper goods. New York has a way of bringing out the indulgent side of me.
