Big City Lights

ny5.jpg

I arrived back in L.A. late last night full from a weekend of pure indulgence (it’s not every day I dine on things like toasted marshmallow shakes, ginormous bagels, Lombardi’s pizza and Magnolia cupcakes).  Despite the inhospitable weather, we managed to walk everywhere, including a drawn-out stop at Topshop where I found what could be the perfect blazer.  A huge thank you to everyone at Coach who put together an amazing trip and sent me home with some fantastic additions to my wardrobe (including the khaki trench coat and gray boots below).

LOVE the gray boots. I’m sad that they’re $528 for the rest of us regular folk…

Pam, thanks for the tip about the cheap boots on Target! I’ve been looking for a pair. Do you think these boots could weather walking in some snow?

49 Darrah { 09.14.09 at 7:39 am }

Wow, sounds like an awesome trip! Coach really hooked you up with a trench and boots?! Sweet!! I heard it was rainy in NY, but I’m glad you stopped by Magnolia cupcakes. They’re yummy… but idk how they compare to Sprinkles.

I swear your outfits in these images are like my uniforms for fall and winter in NY and you make it look so effortless when I’m more accustomed to seeing your California chic style. a true fashionista can pull it all off! :) and btw, those boots are so hot I think I NEED them. glad to hear you had a great time…of course the weather yesterday and today has been gorgeous…sorry you had so much rain. wish me luck tomorrow where I’m shooting a couple of shows. you just have me some ideas for looks to wear! :)

73 grace { 09.14.09 at 12:33 pm }

So, I am very curious – does Coach expect anything from you as a blogger in return for their gifts? Just wondering how that works! They are lovely items.

I love Magnolias, but since you’re from LA you have to love Sprinkles more! Literally, the BEST cupcakes I’ve ever had! Your blazer is amazing…the lapels look shiny in the 4th pic (or are they?). Very YSL-esque. Welcome back to Sunny California!

I LOVE your watches.. Where do you buy them? The Michael Kors watch is love : )

120 Kacia { 10.14.09 at 10:48 am }

I always love your outfits! I have two questions for you: Where did you get the skirt that you’re wearing with the gray boots? I found a perfect tulip skirt awhile back, but it was much too expensive. Yours looks like a just-as-lovely option!

Also, is the blazer you’re wearing in that same picture the Topshop blazer? It’s GORGEOUS!

121 Priscilla-wheelchair Mommy { 02.11.10 at 2:48 pm }

Awesome goodies! Yes, I say Lucky indeed! I am new to your blog but you sound really sweet and totally deserving of it though :)

122 Kelly Showalter { 04.20.10 at 1:55 pm }

I love the photos. NY is an amazing place, I lived there while working for Conde Nast. I hope you had a great time. What is the black bag you are carrying? I am looking for a great black bag. Magnolia bakery cupcakes are so yummy!

123 Emma { 07.14.10 at 4:29 pm }

Do those black boots have a heel?? I love them! I want a pair just like that (with no heel).
