Times Square – NYC
Our first night in NYC, we were given an extra special treat. My good friend works for Buffalo David Bitton in their corporate offices and showroom at Times Square and gave us a mini private tour. It took a lot of self control for me not to take everything back to LA 
My wish list is definitely getting lengthier. There was a gorgeous faux fur coat and adorable fringe bag calling my name

DKNY Leather Moto Jacket | Forever 21 Heather Grey Tunic and Leg Warmers | Hunter Boots
Preparing for our flight was a little tricky; the weather in LA was around 95 degrees °F when we left and NYC was supposed to be 56 degrees °F and raining. I decided a light cotton tunic combined with tights and a leather jacket was the way to go. Though the jacket’s a little heavy to carry, it was perfect to keep me warm enough in the city, plus the entire look was cute but perfectly comfy for the 5 hour plane ride.
This tunic is pretty old – I actually bought it during one of Forever 21’s sales for only $3.99!! It was a medium and pretty big on me so it sat in my closet for quite some time but I rediscovered it while packing and fell back in love with it. It’s so simple, comfy and cute!
After arriving, we met up with our friend and fashion designer Jeff (the same genius that made all those gorgeous bags). We checked out Time Square and even got to have a mini private tour of his work – Buffalo David Bitton’s corporate offices in Time Square! Pics of that to come

We’re finally back from NYC and settling back in, somewhat (I’ve unpacked one of the two luggage I brought lol, at least it’s progress!) I’m terrible at unpacking, I’ve left luggage untouched after trips for weeks at a time before… 
but this time, I’m determined to finish unpacking today… I have quite a few posts from NYC but before those, I need to finish up my posts pre-vacation. Here we go…
H&M Black Denim Top | Forever 21 Black Bow Ring, White Camisole and Denim Shorts | Baker's Maddie Wedges in Black | Nordstrom Silver Studded Belt | Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Saleya Gm
I’ve been on a hunt for a cute pair of comfortable wedges for quite some time now. I was fooled by ShoeDazzle’s Ciji wedges – though super cute, they were super uncomfortable for me. I know many reviews out there rave about them but for me, they were stiff and hurt my toes, narrow and too high in the back where it would dig into the back of my ankles. No bueno. After trying many pairs, I was going to give up until Bakers had a special holiday deal on their wedges offering an extra 25% off. I instantly placed an order for NINE pairs of wedges. LOL 
it was free shipping and you could return in store! Anyway, out of all the pairs I ordered, I kept the Lola’s and these Maddie wedges. Yes, the Maddie’s in every color available. Hey, they’re perfect, what can I say? They’re the perfect height, super comfy and such a cute shape that is the perfect balance between sexy and sweet.
My Mom was in town visiting us so knowing our mutual love for French macarons, I decided to take her to lunch at Lemonade in Beverly Hills. Along with their tasty drinks and delicious salads, they also have HUGE macarons that are just too outrageously cute to resist.
It ended up being a fun-macaron-filled day with dinner reservations at Bottega Louie. The food was delicious, ambiance up-beat, and dessert selection incredible. I think it’s a macaron tie between ‘Lette and Bottega Louie. Although, I still prefer most of ‘Lette’s flavours, Bottega Louie’s Salted Caramel Macaron was right up there with even Laduree, for me. Love love.

Zara Peep Toes | Zara Snack Print Wash Bag | Zara Skinny Trousers
Okay, It’s never too close for comfort. While I’ve shopped at Zara many times in the past, it was always a rare occasion when I was near one. Now that I have 3 different Zara locations, within ten minutes from me, my bank account has definitely felt the wrath lol but really, I can’t live without any of my recent purchases, so it’s okay, right?

P.s. This post was scheduled ahead of time, I’m currently on vacation in NYC so I won’t be able to respond to any comments or emails until I return next week
On this day, one year ago, I married my very own prince charming. My Superman. The first wedding anniversary is supposed to be the “Paper Anniversary” so it was fitting and really, perfect, that our wedding was chosen amongst hundreds of entries to be featured in the 2011/2012 issue of San Diego Style Weddings Magazine. If you’re in the area, grab a copy! It’s on newsstands now
2011/2012 San Diego Style Weddings Magazine
Today, we’re celebrating this anniversary in New York City. I wanted to do a blog post about our anniversary but of course, I wanted it to fit with the topic and overall theme of my blog. Fashion. So I hope you all will enjoy my favorite little wedding details…
