I heart New York

So as I promised pictures of what I bought in NYC.
The clothes: Abercrombie & Fitch hoody, American Eagle Outfitters T-shirt, Victoria's Secret underwear, I heart NY pyjama bottoms. I also bought an I heart NY t-shirt to turn into a dress which I forgot to photograph.
I'm actually a big postcard collector. Back at home I have loads of vintage Paris postcards on my walls. So I ended up buying quite a few postcards as you will see.
I also bought a few books whilst out in America, because I love the young adults fiction out there for girls. So I bought a couple of them back.
The majority of those sweets aren't even for me! Which is slightly depressing. The Hersheys are a gift for my parents, the peanut butter M&Ms are for my sister, the Reese's are for Nutter and the Skittles are for my friend back at home. I'm seriously a nice person when it comes to buying gifts!

For this current project I have to do a 24 hours in the life of me as my inspiration. And obviously I chose to do it whilst I was in New York. And since the shop I have chosen to do my project on is slightly vintage inspired I've edited my photographs to be polaroids. If only I did have a proper polaroid camera, that would make my day!
Here's a few of what I've chosen:

"do you like your butter muffined?"

Well I'm back from the Big Apple!
So very tired after an overnight flight and a long day of not sleeping. I think I've found the key to not getting jetlag. Just don't sleep. It's worked so far!
I mean I had a slight nap earlier, when Gingey and I were watching a film and we fell asleep, but I kept jolting awake because I was cold... Gingey had stolen most of the blanket. Tsssk.

Believe it or not we got EVERYTHING and more done from our list.
We didn't go to a Broadway show, but we went to a Basketball game instead. Where Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child was there! She looks gorgeous with short hair btw. &I bought a foam finger! Go Knicks!
We got a photograph with a lush policeman. We went up the Empire State Building at night. We visited Bloomingdales, Saks, Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters, Century 21, Borders, American Girl Place, and many others.
We had a cupcake like in Sex and the City, from Magnolia's Bakery (they make THE best cupcakes ever).
We went to the Fashion and Textile Museum, as well as to the MoMa to see the Tim Burton exhibition. That was absolutely amazing! So worth the money! To see his drawings in real life. Oh wow. I was blown away. I've always loved Tim Burton, his drawings are just mindblowingly good.
We had a carriage ride round Central Park, and part of the lake was frozen!
Yesterday morning it snowed!
It was the best trip I have been on in a long time.

And last but not least...
We got put on a billboard in Times Square:



Thank you American Eagle Outfitters!

I'll post a picture of the things I bought hopefully tomorrow!

If you haven't been to New York. Do.
I love the Americans.

"i don't want to be your facial hair!"

Okay so I hate the internet. It closed down last night after I'd typed this long blog and just deleted it. Useless!

So anyway I got "fraped", as my flatmate (Nutter) would say, the other day. She decided it would be really funny to post silly things on anything that was signed in on my mac, thus the blog post and my facebook saying vile things.

Gingey drove Nutter and I shopping yesterday. I wanted to get a few things for New York, such as small bottles of shampoo and conditioner... new knee high socks, as it's meant to snow in NY today... some of those sheer tights with the heart pattern on... maybe a new dress... but I couldn't find a thing. Except the shampoo and conditioner. So when I got back I went online, and ordered a top from the All Saints' sale. Not that it will come in time for New York, but it made me feel better :).

I handed in my project yesterday. Such a relief. I'd spent the past week working solidly on it. We've got our new brief on Monday, so I was working on that last night because I am so determined not to be behind on this project. We've got to design a collection for a niche brand, and I've decided what shop I'm doing already so I was doing research on them last night. I'm rather excited.

Well anyway it is... Three days till NYC!

Excited!

"the water's making me feel slushy inside"

drunk.

end of.

singing kesha - tik tok in my head.

oh yeahhhhh.

one week!

One week until New York!

And we haven't organised a thing!

I just went on to asos to buy a few things from the sale for New York. Wanted some new pyjamas. And the Artisans for Asos Bunny tee that said Oui Oui on it. But then adding all the things up I wanted I then thought no. No. I'm going to save the money to spend IN New York. I can buy pyjamas there or something. Abercrombie and Fitch... plan.

I feel like I should be packing. But I have a hand-in before then. So I can't waste time packing. Instead I can waste time blogging... And watching Friends. Because you know. It's nice to know I have my priorities right...

Did anyone ever get that lecture from their parents? "You don't have your priorities right! School work should come before everything else. And all you do it go out all the time. You never work..." Blah blah blah. What they didn't know was that I spent all day at college working my ass off. I'd do extra work during lunch and stuff. Because you know, I'm cool like that. Clearly.

Well anyway. So this is my form of break for today. I have worked all day. And felt like I've got nowhere. Designing for Gap is hard. Well menswear. It's enjoyable. But when you're braindead and beat, you feel like you can't do much more.

I've just found out I haven't got to be in uni until 12 tomorrow, so that means I can stay up later to do work.

Oh yeah the other night when I was working at half 1? I stayed up till 4am working. Then got up at 9am the next day to carry on working. That didn't work out though. I got distracted by my best friend. Oh well.

How beautiful is Christopher Drew?

Beautiful.
