Ok, so I look severely pouty in these photos, but that is the total opposite of how I'm feeling!
This Saturday I leave for New York for the media arts conference, and I am completely thrilled!
I'm going with a group of people from my journalism class, which will be delightful because they are delightful people, but I still wish I could take my Josho with me (sigh).
But anyhow...I have a few plans formulating in my little curly head. I'm desperately wanting to visit central park and a few organic restaurants in the area. Unlike my town, NYC actually has options for people who hate eating chemicals. So as you can imagine, I'm happy as a lark ^_^
I'm also planning to visit whatever shops are in Times Square. Anyone know of a vintage shop in that area? I'd love an authentic 50s dress as a souvenir! In fact, I'm packing my suit case full of food so that I can save most of my food money for a dress instead. Priorities, people, priorities!
Outfit details:
Earrings//Charlotte Russe
Dress//ModCloth
Blazer//Vintage, 1980s
Necklace//Charming Charlie's
Ring//Antique
Shoes//Jeffrey Campbell
What a pretty outfit. The necklace is especially cute.
ReplyDeleteI live an hour outside NYC (on Long Island) and go in frequently. The Times Square area is the hardest to find anything nice: it caters to tourists and serves the worst, overpriced food and worst, overpriced clothes. You'll need to venture beyond there to find anything good.
Also, Manhattan has become super-expensive in the last two decades so there are no real thrift-stores there, only retail. There are vintage stores but the prices are sky-high, usually higher than regular stores because the shoppers are rich and the clothes have been "curated".
I'm sorry to be the messenger of bad news: you can find some nice stuff either downtown (especially Bleecker Street) or in Brooklyn (which is only a subway ride away). Hip clothes for young people isn't in Times Square or uptown where rich people shop.
Enjoy!
Well, bummer. Thanks for the info! I really appreciate your honesty :)
DeleteYour shoes are unbelievably cool.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the conference!!!
Love those shoes! The color combo is such a refreshing take on the classic oxford :) and jeals of your floral blazer.

That blazer is SUCH a find! :)
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so cute! I love the floral blazer and those amazingly adorable loafers.
ReplyDeleteI sure do like that blazer. Have fun in NY! I dont really know of any vintage shops in the Times Square area, everything there tends to be pretty touristy. There is a great department store (Century 21) in lower Manhattan and quite a few reasonably priced vintage shops in Brooklyn. Oh and if you want to go to the best used bookstore ever, stop by Strand on 12th & Broadway. Love that place!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is perfect for the Spring. I have a little collection of 1980s blazers, mainly because I think the patterns are so unique. The pastels on yours are perfection.
ReplyDeleteawesome blazer ans shoes! the pattern of this blazer looks so springy!
