This always happens...a whole month goes by without me even logging on to type hello to my three faithful readers! In case you're wondering where I've been:
1. My mom had shoulder surgery and I was helping her out (terrible excuse)
2. Rosh Hashanah
3. Yom Kippur
4. Sukkot - well...school was closed so there goes another day!
5. Traveling...so on with the post!
The first weekend of October brought us to New York for a long anticipated wedding. My college roommate, sorority big sister and fabulous friend Lisa finally married her long-time love Cem. Poor Cem has been across the US at all of our weddings (he's been to Omaha, Cleveland, Baltimore, and San Francisco) over the past 10 years and it was a joy to finally be able to celebrate their big day. The wedding was excellent! Lisa was a beautiful bride. Of course, since we traveled all they way to New York, we were able to visit with best college friend Chris, cousin Mikey, old friends Jon and Maureen and their new baby, Lucy, and Amanda, Park and the girls. It was so much fun seeing everyone. I am only sorry we didn't get to spend more time!
We spent the bulk of our time in New York sight-seeing and walking. Really - we walked everywhere and it was great. I was amazed at how the West Village has changed. Perry Street is absolutely fabulous! The meatpacking district is really cool as well.
So, I know you're all wondering what trends I observed in the Big Apple. My favorite - jeans tucked into tall boots. I have long resisted this trend. However, it really does look nice (when worn with the right jeans and boots). The key to this look is an equestrian-style boot and a tailored top such as a classic black cashmere turtleneck. I found a great pair of Born tall boots that are both comfy and cute! Of course, everyone is wearing statement necklaces, chunky sweaters and in New York...lots of black!
