Insta Week: Prada, Brooklyn, and Ice Cream for Dinner

Chilled in Brooklyn this weekend. I really love Dumbo. I wish it wasn't so expensive to live there because if it were reasonable I'd totally love a loft in Dumbo.

Yesterday I visited Prada in soho to view the Gatsby Collection. Ugh...I am soooo amped for the movie. I love love love Leonardo DiCaprio and Romeo + Juliet is one of my favorite movies. So glad the same director filmed Gatsby. I know it will be awesome. Check out the collection below.

The collection will be shown for another few days until May 19th I think so if you happen to be in Soho stop by the Prada store and check the collection out for yourself. It really is magical.

Country Style Breakfast in Brooklyn. Grilled salmon with peppers and onions, eggs and cheese grits with a chunk of butter and a tube of hot sauce...and hot cocoa on the side lol. it was delish...even the butter!

Took in some sun at Bryant Park.

Did some shopping at Zara on 5th Ave and got these amazing caged sandals. Big Thank You to everyone on instagram who told me to buy them!

Took a stroll down 5th Avenue and had to take a photo at Rockefeller Center.

One of the outfits I wore this weekend.

jacket: H&M | Top: Urban Outfitters | Skirt: Topshop | Shoes: Sigerson Morrison

hands down the best gelato I've ever had in my life outside of Spain. Get up on it...you can find it at your local grocery store. I seriously ate this whole thing for dinner a few nights ago.

George Washington Bridge. I think its so beautiful and take a photo of it at least once a week because i'm in the are a lot for work.

One of my favorite books when I was a tween. this really helped me grow into a use woman post puberty. I had to buy it. I really love books and find myself at The Strand once a week for a new book fix.

Sephora Goodies!

Outfits of the week.

the perfect date bra and tinder dating

so there are times it every woman's life when she visits Victoria's Secret and goes ham (hard as a mofo). that day was a few days ago for me. i decided that I needed new bra's. bras are definitely something most women have to invest in and it can be very complicated. I have lost a few pounds over the last 4 months and its shows most by my boobs. they have always been small but they are quite smaller now. not that I mind...I can go braless if I want without causing too much of a stir.

I knew i wanted a nice lacy lightly padded bra that would look nice when wearing my usual summer vaguely see through white tees and racer back tanks.

Behold I found this bra...notably named the Perfect Date Bra and was sold.

Bra: Victoria's Secret

it was a definite fashion STEELE at less than $30 too. found it in the PINK section.

pretty ironic that its called the perfect date bra (or something along those lines) because I have recently joined Tinder. Yes...Tinder, the iphone dating app in which you shamelessly look through photos of potential dates in your area and either NOPE them by clicking an X or like them by clicking a heart. It is actually a great way to pass the time waiting for the bus or something to do when waiting in the grocery line. I've been on for about a week and so far have matched 18 times with guys who liked my photos. maybe soon enough I will put this bra to work.

Have a great weekend dolls...im off to check out the Costume exhibit they have at the Prada Soho store of all the costumes made by Prada for the new movie The Great Gatsby! Squeal! I will post photos on my instagram.

overall chic..yes its possible

overalls and chic aren't really two words that belong in the same sentence. when I first got this denim overall cutoffs set from Urban Outfitters I wasn't sure how I'd wear them. then it just came to me. I decided to try to dress them up. Which I thought would be quite an impossible task but with the right footwear and a blazer...I think I made it work.
