NYC

 

I fell in love with this goat creature- it's like he was looking right at me.  :)

 

Well you go to NYC and something very sneaky happens to you

 

YOU GET INSPIRED!

Even if you are not an inspiration junkie- It's happens to you and you may not even realize it.

 

I walked a lot when I was in the city, because that's the best way to window shop, and relieve stress before going to my doctor appointment.  I snapped a couple of pictures on my travels and realized that I was inspired by some things I seen.

 

 

This was the incredible view of the Hudson River from our 29th floor suite at Trump SoHo!

SoHo- stands for South of the Hudson.

Anyway-

The water is so beautiful and blue and I love it with all the grays and beige- it made me appreciate all the blue denim and beige I seen when browsing in Zara's 5th Avenue shop.

 

I loved this scarf- but boy was it pricey!

Notice the shoes with the jeans.....love it!

 

and seeing all the black pumps with boyfriend jeans made me LOVE the look of boyfriend jeans with black pumps

 

 

I only made 1 clothing purchase and it was this one

 

As you know shopping on 5th Avenue can be just not something you want to do, but getting inspired is free and you can always create your own similar look for a price you feel comfy with.

 

like this out fit for example

 

 

Here's what I found similar- to try and recreate the look: 

Sweater Target

 

Shorts

 Shoes Target- have these- LOVE them!

Shirt Forever21

 

 

I love this statue at Grand Army Plaza

                    Here at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue are the Pulitzer Fountain and the Golden statue of William Tecumseh Sherman who was a United States general in the American Civil War

(1861-1865).                  

 

 

 

 

Gold statue and green grass may have been my inspiration and thirst for Gold shoes and this Green army-like button jacket!

 

I also love this jacket from Kmart

 

with these adorable shoes - also Kmart

 

And after seeing the beautiful flowers you can see either in your hotel or on a street corner you just can't help but love and crave the bright colors of summer to come!!

 

 Also loving these shorts- Kmart

with these shoes from Aldo

Just walking around Anthropologie get's the juices flowing to create something fun for Spring.

 

 

 

I just love window shopping in NYC!!

I stayed right near Rockefeller Center so I was right around the corner from 5th Avenue

 

How cute are these?

 

I wish Rob would wear these shoes.

 

And how about this men's lapel pin- an Anchor- I LOVE IT!!!

 

Ted Baker London

 

 

 

 

And the most peaceful place- I was so blessed to stop there after my appointment and it was amazing!

 

  

 

On this trip I had stayed with Rob at the Jewel right near Rockefeller Center and right around the corner from 5th Avenue.  I could see St. Patrick's Cathedral from my room window!!!  It was a great little hotel to stay at!!!

 

 I was so happy to attend Sunday mass at St. Patrick's Church

 

And it was a great appointment with my doctor and good blood work numbers!

 

 

Ombre

So I decided to bleach out my ends a little more for more of an Ombre look!

I linked to all the products I used.

I used a hi-lighting kit from the drugstore- by Revlon

The thing with Ombre hair for me anyways is that my natural is dark so that doesn't need any color and it's super healthy while my ends are bleached and dry.  Now what shampoo to you get to deal with that?

I use a clarifying shampoo all over 1st then I use a blue shampoo (a shampoo for blondes- keeps your blonde nice and bright) on the ends and then I just condition the ends. Here's what I use:

For styling it's a challenge as well as my roots are super healthy meaning not a lot of body.  So I found a root boost product I like to use when blow drying

If my hair has already been blown dried or maybe it's day two for my hair and it needs a little boost I use  this powder 

These two products help with adding volume to my hair. 

And to keep my ends shiny I use this oil and I love it no matter I have going on with my hair for my ends.

You only need very little so it lasts a long time!!  I love it

A couple things I really like

'

I love this dress from JCPenny's- it's so pretty and perfect for church.

This next dress is also from JCPenny's and Rob bought it for me for Christmas.  I had seen it in a magazine and Rob actually remembered the dress- I was so impressed!!!  He is awesome!

It's just so pretty!

My dear sweet Maggie as been eating my stuff lately and the latest item was an over night lip balm from Bath & Body Works that I was loving.  My lips have been a mess especially since being sick so there was no way I was making a trip to Bath & Body, but i needed something so I decided to try this Blistex pack.  So far I've been using the restore and I really like it.  I haven't tried revive yet, but I think it's neat how the two actually click together. 

Another product I'm really loving is Maybelline Rocket Mascara- it is awesome!!!

Revlon 

Passionate Pink

Revlon

Cafe Pink

This has got to be that perfect light pink you see on people and think- wow her nails look nice...

These 2 polishes are so pretty and I'm so excited to wear them come Spring!!

Well actually I couldn't wait- I'm wearing Passionate Pink and it makes me so happy.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable 

in Cherish

A great pink!

 This is Revlon's Primrose

This is a great pale pink

I love this eye combo

 I believe they used Loreal Iced Latte and Amber Rush

Amber Rush would definitely look great on blue eyes!!!

2 Colors I have and love!

The dark brown I believe is Bottomless Java also by Loreal

and I'd love to get me some~
