snippets of the city

New York City life has been nothing short of a whirlwind. There's always something to do or something to see and I'm loving every minute of it. I do have a confession to make though, I haven't been taking my camera around as often as I expected. Shameful, I know but I made sure to take a few pictures with my phone. The quality may not be as nice but thanks to my new picplz app, I got to use all these cool effects to make them a bit more fun.

As for the city, it’s a total foodie-fashionista's dream. Amidst bites of famously delicious pizza and to-die-for sweet treats, I keep stumbling on (or often purposely looking for) fabulous fashion at amazing prices. Case in point, Friday's visit to the BCBG store on 5th Avenue. With 60% off a lot of their amazing styles, it was too good to pass up! I left giddy with excitement over my finds and then met up with Clarissa in SoHo for some mid-afternoon coffee and gossip.

Most recently, I sampled some of New York’s finest (pizza that is). Quino and I took a short walk to Grimaldi’s and had to stand in line for 20 minutes but it was totally worth it! Their pizza had a nice thin but doughy crust. The tomato sauce was divine, definitely not your typical marinara and the ewy gooey globs of fresh mozzarella were the perfect finishing touch.

Hope to share more New York antics soon! 
Until then, I'll leave you with a few little snapshots of this fabulous city!

 {quino's amazing view - I'm so jealous he gets to wake up to this every morning}

{the same view but this time it was pouring all afternoon. i'm amazed that you can barely even see the bridge, let alone the empire state building}

{i love that i get this steamy view from my desk at work all day. gotta love don draper}

{the wonderful mini cannoli i had after lunch last week}
