The Sunday Times

On Sunday I hopped (if 3+ hours in transit can be considered a hop) up to New York city for a little collaboration with the ladies behind Larsen Gray. If their good taste wasn't already apparent from their clothes, they also got bloggers Ginny and Arabelle on board.
I didn't snap any pics of Ginny, but you'll have to take my word on it: she's gorgeous.
Arabelle was as awesome as her site would lead to you to believe. I wasn't the most skilled conversationalist with her, but she was sweet enough to endure my need to document her presence--and rad chain necklace that was in fact a belt. Thanks Arabelle, I really enjoyed meeting you!
Overall, it was a rad day which involved trains, metros, french fries, amazing heels, and more amazing people. Hopefully, there will be another post on this whole day to come...
Outfit details: headband- vintage, dress- Ivy Blue, jacket- Urban Outfitters, vest- gift, tights- gift, socks- Thank You Mart, shoes- secondhand, bag- Pull and Bear

I am so jealous that you can just "hop" to NYC in 3 hours. When it's a 5+ hour plane flight for me your journey can most definitely be considered a hop!

I'm excited to learn more about what you ladies got up to. I see some fabulous footwear!

Jessica said...

that looks like so much fun!! i love the knee highs over the tights look, and im digging that polish - chanel black satin?

Biru said...

I need those black wedges! I wanna see what that was all about :o

oh lady e said...

Oh, fun! Shoes + Johnny Rockets french fries = a pretty darn good day in my book.

I also consider a 3-hour bus ride to NYC as a "hop"!

lisa said...

Sounds like a fun way to spend the day! I love that you got a pic of your MetroCard; mine has been tacked to my wall with blue sticky putty as a souvenir. ;-)

Rebecca said...

Well that certainly sounds exciting! I hope we get to hear more...

Twobreadsplease said...

Mich said...

bahhh.... i'm so jealous that you're only 3 hours from NYC. I've never been! Its definitely my top dream destination right now. looks like you had a great time!

Chester said...

I love how the ketchup is a happy face! Johnny Rocket's is awesome, I've only been there once but when I went they turned off the lights and did the Thriller dance, it was epic. Notice how I don't automatically start talking about how amazing and awesome it is that you got to go to New York and meet those cool bloggers. Food really is my top priority, and I wonder why I'm not fat.

Diane said...

I love everything about your outfit! Especially the braided headband and the green socks over your purple tights. Very nice color combination.

I look forward to hearing more about your day and your collaboration with Larsen Gray! It sounds exciting and looks like it was a ton of fun. Lucky girl!

Eve said...

That seems like such fun! What a fun Sunday! Oh, I love those yellow converse by the way :)

Katie said...

i love the picture of the metro card and your purse. doesn't having a metro card in your wallet make you feel a hundred times cooler? i have about a dozen in the bottom of my purse.

Emily said...

Looks like great fun :)
Those are some serious wedges!

Karen said...

i am so unbelievably jealous that you can just "hop" to new york!
even though it takes 3 horus
i would spent 12 hours on transit if i could to get there!
i love that city more than words can explain
there is defintitely something magical about it.
dont you think?

plumpdumpling said...

Oh, interesting. I was actually thinking of you yesterday, because I love self-portraits, and there are so many great backdrops here in NYC that I'd like to photograph myself against, but I'd feel so funny setting up a tripod in the middle of 42nd Street. How do you manage it? Aren't people always looking at you strangely?

dapper kid said...

How wonderfully fun! I am quite smitten by those yellow converses. I adore your jacket dear and that heaadband. And I tagged you for a post :)

Parapluie said...

Sounds like a really great day and I love the red shoes in the last picture!
Oh, I awarded you :)

Sassy said...

Your trip to NY sounds rad!

renwore said...

Sounds fun! I hope there will be more news about your trip to NY :D

The asymmetrical jacket is extraordinary and I love the way you create your 2-tone legs!

Emmy said...

big fan of the belt-as-a-necklace deal, I tend to do that with my chain belts as well :-)

and no worries, i'm quite possibly one of the worst conversationalists of all time...hurrah for failing to be eloquent!

Yvonne said...

haha that's cool that you got to meet another fashion blogger! I need to check ginny's blog out!

Dee said...

I love Johnny Rockets. It is heaven. Those really really thick milkshakes? Yum.
It looks like you had a blast in NY!

Niki said...

How amazing! Was is for a magazine? Site? Spread? Details woman!

Moshe said...

Arabelle is awesome. So it seems was your day. It certainly looks like heaps of fun. Great outfits all of you!

Georgie said said...

It looks like you had a fantastic day.
