Big City Lights
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…
I love your fashion week outfits, the gray boots are gorgeous as is the blazer!
Precioso look.

You’re transition from quintessential Cali girl to classy/hip NY lady was with such finesse. Quite enviable. Looking great you lucky girl.
New York seems to suit you well! You look gorgeous, as always.
The khaki trench and gray boots are absolute perfection – as are all of these outfits. The pictures are stunning!
I adore the grey boots. I want them. All the shots look really great though.
These photos are great, Em…nice to see you went to little italy! And I LOVE those boots. They’re officially on my fall shopping list!

so glad to hear you had such a good trip! the gray weather makes for a lovely backdrop in these photos, even if it also meant lugging your umbrella around!
Looks like you had an amazing time! Sounds like you hit all the hot spots! I love the grey boots also!
Kristy, check out these grey boots for less! I had a similiar pair last winter and they are seriously the best! Let me know what you think.

That trench and boots look great. Seems like a wonderful trip.
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?
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.
fabulous trench emily! you look so so so classic + beautiful.
oh nyc. i love you.

LOVE.THOSE.BOOTS!

What an amazing adventure you must have had. And you walked away with some great swag.
Beautiful pictures as always!
you look amazing! I love how your style is so urban chic here. 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!

You look so incredibly gorgeous in these photographs – just like a City Girl. Your Coach swag is fabulous – so perfect for the fall and winter months fast approaching. Glad you had a splendrous time, and a safe trip!
Gorgeous shots, Emily! I really love the trench coat!! NYC is the best, isn’t it?!

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!

That is such a great, classic trench! Lucky you.
Hello gray boots…! Um, those are amazing! Thanks for tip!
yay for indulgence! sounds like you had a lovely time. and p.s. those boots are absolutely spectacular. i’m seriously jealous.
I love your gray boots! And your look :]
Love from Iceland!

I could definitely go for that shake!
Cupcakes are the sweetest things on this earth. You look so chic here!
LOVE that black skirt!
Glad you enjoyed the trip! I am jealous beyond belief.
Also, your studded blazer from the previous post – LOVE!
Like the pictures!
xx
I LOVE your watches.. Where do you buy them? The Michael Kors watch is love : )
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!
Awesome goodies! Yes, I say Lucky indeed! I am new to your blog but you sound really sweet and totally deserving of it though
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!
Do those black boots have a heel?? I love them! I want a pair just like that (with no heel).
