Faux Tropics


Yesterday I saw a picture posted on Instagram that showed it was snowing in NYC. Is it true? Ugh. I hope not. I'm so over the cold! Nevertheless, NYC anytime w/ the bestie is a good idea. Definitely worth braving the chill!

Stay tuned for pics, stories, and travel advice from my trip to UAE & Qatar! I'm having such a wonderful time that "accidentally'' missing my flight doesn't sound like a bad idea. Shhhh...

We Started From Washington...

code name: drédin

We started from Washington, now we here! And, boy, was the struggle real...

It should come as no surprise that we were up to the wee hours of the morning finishing our packing. Once complete, we only had a little time for a "quick nap" before dré caught her flight and I caught my bus. Well, attempted to catch my bus anyways. I missed it because I had to shovel my car out of snow and ice! All I kept thinking was: this is what 30 looks like.

After all, we were headed to NYC to celebrate dré's 30th. Aside from the travel struggles that prevented us from reaching each other until just after 6p, we were finally reunited from our respective Washingtons in the unique and cozy section of Manhattan called SoHo. Here we are pictured at Pegu Club in SoHo enjoying a Gin, Gin Mojito. Keeping to tradition we arrived at 3a and closed it down at 4a. As Katy Perry once said, "this is how we do."

We'll be sure to tell you more about our trip and what we wore in upcoming posts. 
Stay tuned...

Cinched In

Belts are a beautiful thing. Not only can they be a great accessory to an outfit, but they can also create a waistline for you, or accentuate the one you already have.

I had been keeping my eye out for quite some time for a new belt. And I had particularly been fond of the idea of a wrap belt (I had seen someone wearing one years ago that I fell in love with). So you can imagine my excitement when I found this lone standing beauty at a boutique called Think Closet in SoHo! It's black, leather, has a fabulous print, AND cinches my waist in..... just how I like it ;)

So SoHo


SoHo. Every fashionista has to visit SoHo if they're in NYC. The boutiques are plenty, as well as the street vendors, and it's such a hotspot for liveliness! Unfortunately our weather reporter(s) were wrong and we ended up in the rain the first part of the day-- brr!

First we stopped into Joe's Pizza for another slice of delicious. The gelato store next door was beckoning us, but we were too cold to consider it. Instead, we headed over to Georgetown Cupcakes. I'm pretty sure dré's mouth had been watering for a cupcake since the show aired on TLC. See how excited she is in the picture above? Tell me I'm wrong!

We then stopped into Stumptown Coffee. It's popular on the chill coast, but I didn't realize it was over here, too. Good stuff. And it allowed me to warm up after the rain settled.




In addition to indulging a sweet tooth, we also visited the ever popular DASH SoHo. It's very small and not as unique as we would have expected from the Kardashians.

Another boutique worth mentioning is Think Closet where dré got an awesome black leather wrap around belt. The sales associates were really sweet and I'm glad we stumbled upon it.

Matter of fact, there were some great sales associates in SoHo. They seemed to love what they do-- as a former sales associate myself, I know! One street vendor hand crafted a ring for me since dré got the last one. It's an infinity (pics to come!). Needless to say we're in love with them. Now, they're kinda like friendship rings-- remember those from back in the day?

After our shopping and taking in the sights in SoHo, we met up with some dear, dear friends of mine (and now fast friends of dré's because they share the same affinity for sugar!), Jesse and Cathy, in Little Italy for dinner.

As we were walking back to the car someone tried to get us to go to the "back closet" where all the "Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton" bags were-- non c'est bon!

Then, after dodging the illegals, wouldn't you know that we went back to Times Square for more shopping!? I'm sure you're not surprised. What may leave you surprised is that we shut down the 4 level Forever21-- at 2A!! It was a crazy, fun day that left us laughing AT ourselves. Although long, we did make it back to the apartment before 6A. (:        xo | din

Party Don't Stop 'Til 6 In The Mornin'

No joke. You know how we do!

From Central Park to Hoboken, from SOHO to Times Square, we didn't just get around yesterday, we did it fashionably. Our day included a workout in the park (including burpees and high knees!), a stop at Carlo's Bakery, a trip to the NY famous Joe's Pizza (Leonardo DiCaprio approved) in SOHO, a cocktail hour at Broom Street Tavern, and finally a walk all over time square!! In case that doesn't sound time consuming enough, we should let you know we did not hit the hay until 6AM! I guess that's what fashion will do to you!

                                                   Central Park





My friend Niko from Gene Juarez met us for a drink and a slice of Junior's Cheesecake! And check out how din and I got mad photo bombed!






And finally Times Square!

Xoxo dré
