I fall deeper in love with NYC every time I step out the front door. There’s always so much to do, be it shopping, eating, aimless meandering, or all of the above. Last week, the boyfriend came to visit and it was the perfect time to check out some notable sights, but also to explore more hidden gems. Here’s a collection of my most recent NYC adventures via Instagram.
Hanging out in DUMBO.

Sweets and drinks — a common theme in my life.
Found a tranquil area in Central Park a few weeks ago with Jess and Tracy.

My east coast explorations have begun! Last weekend, I hopped on the Bolt Bus for a 4.5-hour ride down to DC. I met up with the boyfriend (who I hadn’t seen in a month!), hung out with some of my best friends from undergrad, and attended the wedding of one of my dear friends from high school. All in all amazing weekend full of great people, fantastic food, and incredible history. Check out from of my snaps from Instagram.
A ring of American flags at the base of the Washington Monument.
Flowers from the Botanic Gardens and sweets from around the District.
Wedding celebrations on a boat. Congrats Melissa and Joel!
Weekend drinking. Some classier than others (esp. the shots from a squeeze bottle!).
Cruising down the Potomac River with a gorgeous view of the monuments at night.

Another week in NYC in the books, but this past week in particular made realize how lucky I am to be living in such an amazing city. On Monday, I attended my very first NYFW event. On Tuesday, I wandered around downtown and was humbled by all of the police officers and first responders dressed in full uniform (thank you for your service!). And from my very own bedroom, I could see the Tribute in Light, two very bright columns of light shining from downtown.
It’s only been 2.5 weeks since I moved here, but there are plenty of plans already in the works and I can’t wait to share them with you all. For now, here’s a few photos of what I’ve been up to via Instagram.
Had to take my laptop in to the Apple Store, so I took it to the coolest one in NYC!
An afternoon sweet fix with bite-sized cupcakes at Baked by Melissa.
A glimpse of Fashion’s Night Out — which doesn’t depict how insane it was!
A polka-dot manicure inspired by my new blogger friend Tracy of The Right Shoes.
Dinner date with an NYC bestie!
Cocktail glasses waiting to be poured at my first NYFW event with Mauricio Alpizar! Cheers!
