I would like to wish everyone a very merry holiday season. I hope your holiday is filled with lots of love, time spent with the ones you cherish, and satisfied tummy from all the good food that will be consumed! I am eternally grateful to have such amazing family and friends to spend this holiday season and hope the same feeling can be shared with all of you.

Thank you all for an amazing year, I am looking forward to the next year and everything I will face.

LIGHTS: Shades of Browns and Damier Speedy

I am back from NY (been back since Friday, wish I could've stayed there forever!) but here is New York Day 4 outfit. Sis and I caught the matinee showing of 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' and then had a delicious dinner at Szechuan Gourmet (the spiciness may have contributed to the warmth I felt the rest of the night) with mom. We went down to Herald Square, shopped at The World's Largest Store, and went back up to explore Times Square.

 

There's so much of New York to explore and even though I've been here a few times already, I know there is still so much to see and do. If you have some recommendations (food to eat, places to shop, sights to see), please share and I'll jot it down for my next trip. It's a neverending list! 

MM Couture vest, Forever 21 cozy sweater, Aeropostale white long sleeve, J Brand skinny jeans, Style&Co boots, Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy 25, random belt

P.S. Here's an awesome tidbit to save some money for musical tickets - If you don't mind getting up early and waiting in line, see if the musical you want to see has rush tickets available to purchase. We saved about $75/person buying rush tickets for "How to Succeed..." in exchange for standing out in the cold for about an hour, fair deal I think :)

GRAND CENTRAL: Aqua Cape and black leather

Quick getaway to New York for the week and the first stop had to be Grand Central Station.  I love the fast-paced atmosphere, the quint little shops and dining, and look, they recently opened an Apple store!! I am sure I can spend hours sitting on the steps people watching and conjuring up stories about peoples' travels.

Aqua Gold Button Cape, DKNY Knit Sweater, Gap 1969 Ponte Five-Pocket Leggings, 
Stuart Weitzman 5050 Flat OTK Boots (on sale for $386.75 here), Goldenbleu clutch

Any must-sees while in NY? I have an entire list of "must-eats" and probably only a handful of "must-dos" that I missed on my last trips so I can use any recommendations to burn off all the eating =D

Oh and I received this in my inbox the other day and thought of a particular reader =)
