Brooklyn Bridge Birthday

29 years ago today I was born. I'm so glad I was...these last 29 years have been pretty fun. I like life a lot. I mean yeah...i've been laid off a job, had my heart broken more than once, and my computer has crashed 4 times but life it still pretty damn good. I feel like I've accomplished a lot so far and can't wait to rock the hell out of this last year of my 20's. It seems the older I get the younger people assume I am. I can't tell you how many young...and I mean young guys hit on me everyday thinking im in my early 20's. I hope these Benjamin Button genes last forever. lol.

I had to do something great for my birthday so i finally did the Brooklyn Bridge + Balloons shoot I've always wanted to do. It was so fun and really breathtaking to watch the sun rise over New York City. It was the most magical morning and I was pretty amusing to the early bikers. I have a deep fear of bridges and this was a little terrifying for me but I wanted to do it and so glad I did!

Dress: ASOS | Shoes: Alexander Wang Aminata

 

I got this great waffle knit dress from ASOS a few months ago with the sole intention of wearing it for my birthday. I paired it with the early birthday present to myself, these Alexander Wang Aminata sandals. I am going to treat myself to some of my favorite things today which include Tonnie's Minis Carrot Cake Cupcakes and a mani-pedi and some champagne!

cheers to another year older and hopefully a bit wiser!

thrifted see by chloe romper

I scored this See by Chloe romper a few months ago during one of my Thrift and The City shopping tours. It clocked in a $20 and is one of my favorite thrift finds yet along with this dress and this necklace and purse. I visited the Brooklyn Flea recently and stocked up on some rings from Artist and Fleas and some Fish and Chips from my favorite vendor at the flea.

SHOP ROMPERS

im so glad its finally warming up. i will be doing lots of thrift tours this spring and summer so make sure to check them out. for more information on the tours click here. I also wrote an ebook about where to thrift in NYC and Brooklyn and score great deals! I'm always delighted when I find something so awesome for a lot less than it would be in a store. If you haven't visited the Brooklyn Flea it is a must do! The food is amazing and the views of Manhattan are breathtaking.

GLADIATOR in SANDALS

I have been wanting some tall gladiator sandals ever since I spotted these Stuart Weitzman gladiator sandals on Kate Moss in his new ads. Surely though I couldn't justify spending $400 on a flat sandal...especially the kind thats really trendy and probably wont trend more than a season or two. So when I saw Karen from WDUGT blog intagram these from Zara I quickly checked my Zara app on my iphone (yes its that serious) to see these. I was too late though...they had sold out of my size. Then on a whim I visited the Zara on 5th Avenue and as soon as I walked in there they were. 3 sizes left...one being my size. At 1/3rd the price of the Stuart Weitzmans! I'd call these a fashion STEELE for sure!

Jacket: H&M | Dress: Zara | Sandals: Zara

GET THE LOOK

took these photo's at the Brooklyn Bridge park. I never even knew there was a carousel there. its so old and beautiful and really reminded me of being a kid and longing to ride on the shiny horses. they were filming some kind of movie so we weren't allowed to get too close but it was still a very nostalgic and beautiful moment. Have a great weekend everyone!

ps: thanks everyone on instagram who told me to get these! love you dolls!
