I love the picture an hour concept. I used to do "a day in the life" photoblogs for a while. My problem isn't taking the photos, it's bothering to upload them later.
Makes me miss NYC. I need to do a weekend trip there once it warms up!
Aw!! i went to nyc for three weeks for my honeymoon and the "imagine" photo reminds me so much of that
*tingles*
What great photos!
Is that last photo from Tavern on the Green?
Aw, I wish I lived a three hour bus ride from New York! Sounds like a good day.
That looks like so much fun!!
looks like a wonderful day :-) I know exactly where you are in those pictures by the rocks! I hang out there all the time whenever I get to go into the city. Love central park with a passion.
Ah, good ole NYC. Love it! Looks like you had a lot of fun!
Gorgeous pictures :)
I really love your blog!
Would you like to exchange links with me?
Its basically a blog about how I, a 15 year old Londoner, am making it into the fashion industry (hopefully) and all the outfits and thoughts along the way!

I really love your blouse, it's so pretty! How great is it that NYC is just a bus ride away? I suppose though that my equivilent is London...
Wow such a nice trip, lucky you ! i'd love to visit NY :)
don't know what's better, being in nyc or just being bare-legged...
Awesome trip! I wish I lived close-enough to a nice city to spend daytrips there - even Seattle is a bit too far for that (though I have gone there for the day and come back - gotta go shopping at Alderwood Mall!). I mean, I guess I do live in a nice city but it's still just MY city, you know?
looks like a fabulous & fun trip!! love how you packed so much in a day too :)
These are beautiful pictures. I love it when you do pictures documenting your day. It's so interesting. :]
Love the dress you tried on!
And I'm jealous you went to the Strawberry Fields memorial, I've been meaning to visit it for ages. Your photo of it is lovely!
It looks like you had a blast! Beautiful pic's! :o)
lucky! i wish i could take spontaneous day trips to new york!
Love the step by step picture break down...great idea..

wow really?? No way! that's so cool! Normally I'd think ANTM wouldn't start off models too well, I mean you hardly see any of them on the runway and such...well that proves me wrong :-) Sweet.
This looks wonderful. Makes me even more excited for NYC this summer!
This is an amazing entry! i love the first shot of 'your chariot' haha
but this is an inspiring photography project, every hour of an idyllic exciting day.. your so lucky you got to spend the day in NYC! i'm going to have to do one...doubt rainy old england is going to compare to yours tho :)
you were a favourite of mine on chictopia, i havent been on it in ages! love your blogs xx
I'm so envious of how you can do day trips to NYC! It looks and sounds like you had a fun day.
:-D looks like you had tonnes of fun... loving the photo-an-hour idea, though at the mo if i did one it'd be deathly boring and library-fied! alas.
gorgeous photos!

If you are that close to NY, you should go more often,it's a great chance.^^cool pics, polka dot dress is the fav.
Oooh what a lovely day out :) Absolutely love your dress and that ring! Kim is such a fantastic read. And your photographs are wonderful :)
ah! i love nyc!!!
amazing day!!
xx
awesome looking day! i wish i could just pop to nyc
Looks like you had a blast! I wish I could just hop on a bus and be in NY in no time, you're lucky :)
Trisch xo
Wow! I am so jealous you're so close to NYC. I'm too lazy to drive to Chicago most of the time (it's about 3 hours away).
These posts are my favourite! Lovely pics x
That looks like so much fun! I love all your outfits.
I go to NYC in a couple months, this has gotten me so excited! Do you know where you're going after you graduate? Staying in Pennsylvania or moving somewhere exciting?
I certainly don't know what I'm doing...
These are fantastic photos - I always adore your "photo an hour" series.
I really love your outfit here. The grey vest with the peachy color of your dress is an unexpected color combination but oh, it works so magnificently!
I'm also jealous of the fact that you can go to NYC on a whim. Stupid California.
cute pics! thanks for sharing!
love your outfit and it looks like you have a very fun day indeed
it looks a lovely day. it's been about a year since i discovered you, and i still love to read every post.
your trip looks wonderful!! and ofcourse, as always, your pictures are gorgeous, I'm glad you enjoyed the city!
I love it so!
I love these photos, it's so nice that you record your day trip like this. I really like your peach top. x
Sounds like a lovely day!
THANK YOU for sharing this with us. In a recent tag I did I said that I'd like to wake up in New York the next day and looking at your pictures made me really happy. Sounds like you had a wonderful day and I hope I'll make that experience someday.. :)

Going to FAO Schwartz sounds like fun. It reminds me of the piano scene in the movie big.
Where are you from? I'm on Long Island. Just wondering cuz I didn't realize how close you were! and WHERE is there a Zara in NYC?!!
well that sounds like a pretty good day to me!
cool! i like this kind of posts. I always want to do this but it's kind of hard for me to be so dilligent. haha
oh and the comment about the ring is funny! hahaha
What a fantastic weekend & post! Gorgeous shots of NYC (how I love that city), and love that pic in Central Park through that 'window' (which I know isn't a window). Absolutely wonderful! :)
xx
i love central park! and i never imagined that awesome little outfit underneath the jacket! it is sooo perfect!!! i love that vest =)
glad you had a fun time and it turned out to be a nice day!!
xoxo
All these photos are great, love the imagine one best :) and your outfit is uber sweet, love the central park backdrop! x
I love your a picture an hour photos! It seems like you had so much fun. And yea... I thought about wedges too- Have to go search for nice ones though =) And hopefully it'll warm up soon so I can wear them... Darn this very nasty why does it snow when its so close to April weather!
great pics. i love the picture of the side of the book and the gret vest thing you have on in one of the first pics

Vi from Cali
Looks like the makings of a perfect day! You're making me miss nyc! xx
Glad you got to enjoy the weather on Saturday, it was so so nice out during the day. Come to Brooklyn! There's tons of good cheap(ish) vintage and 2nd hand shops.
Looks like you had a great time! I wish NY was one bus ride away from me. You look lovely as always! :-) xxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Your "tour guide" friend looks a bit like Lily Allen -- so cute.
I'm rather jealous; I wish I could hop a bus to New York City for a day trip!
Great post! Looks like so much fun.
Your dress is really pretty too. Love the colour.
aww i love what you were wearing. plus im incredibly jealous you got to go to ny. i have yet to visit. :)
I love a day in NYC, even if the day is gray, there's so much to do and see, you cannot possibly let it ruin it!
ooh and Rudyard Kipling...I read Jungle Book in fifth grade and was not a fan. But I haven't read anything of his lately, so maybe I'll give him a try again... Is Kim good?
what an adventurous day, and a wonderful way to spend a Sunday
I really wish New York was just a bus ride away from here. I've never been.
I absolutely love the outfit. The color of that dress is lovely.
Wow lucky you! I would LOVE to go to New York. I envy you ha! looks like you had a ball! Beautiful photographs you captured dear.

A free trip sounds nice! I want to see Lennon's memorial some day.
Beautiful pics!
Please tell me you took the Chinatown bus. It is the most awesome way to travel! $20 round trip- you can't top it!
I love a good photo essay! It looks like a fantastic day, and your outfit is adorable.
Never been to NYC. I'm jealous.
And peach and grey together = lovely.
It looks like such a fantastic time! I love the hourly photos as well.
Great blouse in the outfit shot as well
@Anonymous,
Sorry, I actually just took a private bus from my college to NYC and walked everywhere from there. But the ride was free for me (and the other students), so it was still a good deal. :)
looks like a fabulous & fun trip!!
I absolutely adore the dress and the gray top. The dress looks so light and the colour is awesome :)
