I meant to finish posting about my NYC trip last week, but I've been rather distracted lately. I've been waiting to hear from FIT, and I was suppose to know no later than today. Unfortunately, after contacting them today, I've learned that FIT has had a record number of applicants and hasn't even started looking at my application yet. Yeah. And I still have to make my decision by May 1st. Secondly, I've been watching a lot of Downton Abbey lately on my laptop -- I'm addicted.
While I was in New York, I did plenty of shopping, but I think my favorite shopping day was when I spent it on 5th Avenue. I stopped by all of my favorite places: Zara, Topshop, H&M, and Forever 21. Along with those, I also went into Uniqlo for my first time; I thought it was such a fun shop - they sell bras in bags ("bra in a bag" - what I told my mother it should be called), which, for some reason, I just find hilarious. All hilarity aside, I picked up a nice jumper for myself, even though it's getting pretty warm now.
I decided to wear something comfortable since I would be doing a lot of walking. I started the look around my velvet boots; a favorite pair of mine. I then worked my way up by wearing simple black jeans and black/grey and white fuzzy (and non-fuzzy) jumper. By wearing neutrals else, the shoes pop out even more. The week I was in New York, it was surprisingly chilly (actually colder than where I live), so I wore my grey coat. This coat was the only coat I brought with me on the trip, but it actually worked quite well because the color and shape went with everything I brought. (I originally was going to bring my pastel blue coat, but at the last minute I switched to this one.)
After a long day of shopping, my mom and I went to Anthony Bourdain's restaurant "Brasserie les Halles." I had the steak frites, and it was quite possibly some of the best food I've ever eaten. Even the side salad was delicious! For dessert, I had a rich chocolate tarte, while my mom had profiteroles.
Yummmm
Hopefully I'll hear from FIT soon, until then I'll try to back on track to blogging more regularly.
