Every time I visit New York, I’m blown away by the energy of the city.  At all hours of the night, there’s an electricity that simply can’t be found in other places that I’ve visited.  My trip was an exciting whirlwind of fashion-related events and blogger meet-ups, but I still managed to squeeze in some quiet time just for myself.  Despite its reputation as “the city that never sleeps,” I can always find comfort  in fresh baked goods and a soft snow fall.

    love desert after breakfast. In LA you must try Huckleberry’s on Wilshire and like… 11th? in SAMO. It’s divine and seems right up your alley. I can’t go there for a coffee and pastry without getting another mini pastry (usually in the form of doughnut holes) as well. It’s dangerous.

    there’s something so beautiful about the way snow clings to bare trees.

    sometimes dessert is the perfect and most quintessential first meal of the day … and hanging marshmallows? icing on the proverbial (breakfast) cake.

    I love o take some time for myself when I travel too…it’s the best way to get a feel for a city and to really soak in the experience. I’m jealous of your NYC adventures!

    You are so right…. there is something totally electric about NYC. It’s impossible to not feel inspired!! There’s just nothing like it.

    Fantastic photos! Nice to get a more intimate look at the city rather than the typical tourist pictures. I have to get back to New York soon *sigh*

    Those hanging marshmallows are divine looking! All these pictures look SO cozy.

    I live in Chicago, where we get A LOT of snow. Its cold and its wet and I absolutely love it. Its somehow magically peaceful.

    I <3 dessert after breakfast. If you think about it, it makes sense because you have more time to burn it off as opposed to eating dessert after dinner! http://www.hautelatte.com

    I get blown away by all of the wonderful pictures you take. I got chills when I saw that picture of Starbucks. What type of camera do you use?

    Hi Emily,

    I really LOVE your blog. I’ve been reading it everyday since I first found it on the bloggies award website…thank you so much for your effort, dedication and passion in keeping this blog so fun, enjoyable and inspiring…have a great weekend! :) x

  • http://laineyturnsthecameraon.blogspot.com Lainey

    Such gorgeous pictures. The dessert pic looked so yummy, it made me want some so much. I’m glad you’re having a great time in NYC. I love the energy there too. Even though I’ve never been, I can feel it through every picture, every film, and story that I see/hear. I can’t wait to go there. And hopefully, I’ll have that opportunity next year during Fashion Week.

    That was the lovely view that I saw from my hotel room too! I did venture out into the snow to go across the street and work at the ‘bucks. I went a little stir crazy. :) Fab photos!

    Hi Emily!

    You’ve mentioned how you worked at Domino and Teen Vogue before and working for a fashion magazine is my absolute dream. I’m a Freshman at California State University San Bernardino and I was wondering what steps you took to get those jobs, and if you have any tips for how I should try to break in the same business?
    Thank you so much!

    Beautiful images! Snowfall is always so peaceful, its post snowfall mush that makes us Canadians wish we had the sun year round ;)

    I love city bakery! Ate there for lunch many times during my summer internship. The chocolate chip cookies are pure heaven.

  • http://www.seduisante.blogspot.com Kelsi

    I’m a firm believer in dessert after every meal, so I’m glad to hear that you like breakfast dessert!

    Also, that iced latte makes me want to go to Starbucks, although I know they have nothing that amazing there.
