~ happy spring ~

Ahhh...springtime.  Flowers blooming, cold temps in the shade/warm temps in the sun, sweaters in the morning, tank tops by noon, allergies flaring up, beautiful blue skies, etc., etc.  To celebrate the end of winter and beginning of spring, I've decided that late 60s/early 70s fashion should make an appearance in my wardrobe more often.  Starting today.

{gap shorts, gap sweater, vintage scarf}

The weather matched my mood and my outfit today!  Happy Spring!

On my third day in the city, I went to MOMA, which was absolutely mind boggling.  I managed to see most of it, which is pretty satisfying considering its size and the fact that I only had a of couple hours there!

Next up: my adventures in Soho!  Stay tuned!

After touring the museum, I met my friend Allison on the steps of the Met (how Gossip Girl is that?)!  After getting some lunch we headed to central park where we met kind strangers, did some ballet, and took lots of photos...

It was a beautiful day!  The lake was almost completely frozen over and there was snow on the ground - very exciting stuff for this Florida girl!

After walking through the park we went to Tiffany's, Rockefeller Center, The Plaza, Uniqlo (amazing store - if you don't already know what it is, find their website!), and Grand Central Station!

After heading back to the hotel for a quick nap, I went to a wonderful Japanese place for dinner!  Thank you so much for a wonderful day, Allison!!

On my second day in the city - filled with caffeine, excitement, and very little sleep - I headed to the MET!

This museum is beyond spectacular.  You'll want to take it in sections though, since its sheer size is enough to overwhelm even a veteran museum viewer.  I toured half of the second floor before getting completely lost and having to ask a security guard where the exit was.  Next time I'll reserve two days for each floor!

I can't even begin to explain the emotions I felt while looking at these great works of art.  Going from looking at them in a book to standing two feet away from them is something I will never forget.

A day I won't be forgetting anytime soon - and that was only the first part!  More to come.

After waking up, getting dressed in too many layers, eating only as much as a human can eat at 4am, being at the airport by 5, and taking two different planes, I made it to NYC - running off pure caffeine and adrenaline! 

After getting some lunch and resting up, I went to the Biennial at the Whitney Museum which was absolutely amazing!

Two beautiful works by O'Keefe!

The weather was beautiful - not too cold, and perfect blue skies.  Maybe it was the lack of sleep, or maybe just the excitement of being in the city, but whatever it was, my memories of my first day are hazy and wonderful!
