Paris highlights

(1) Across from the Louvre

 

As promised here is the first look of my Europe trip. I gathered some shots from some

of my favorite Parisian moments and some of the most famous landmarks. I have to say,

that I was completely in awe of the Arc De Triomphe.

 

(2) Arc De Triomphe

 

It could be because we walked for over an hour to get to it (the trickster appears nearby until you start walking and realize it’s actually pretty darn far) or the fact that by the time we got to it the sun was setting so the transition of the sky going from all shades of pink and orange was breathtaking (although you can’t see it all that well in the picture).

(3) Pont des Arts - aka the lovers bridge (our locket has been added for good measure)

 

(4) One is never too old to admire and giggle about a carousel

 

 

(5) Starring in admiration

 

 

(6) The lovely Luxembourg Parc

 

(7) Notre Dame

 

I was equally taken aback with the stunning Notre Dame,

and I was only too glad to pass by it all day long ,every day as

 it was in close proximity to our hotel.

 

(8 ) Our balcony view and getting ready for the Moulin Rouge (which

was equally amazing and highly recommend seeing it if in Paris)

(9) Louvre - the perfect antidote for a rainy day (expect to wait in line a while)

 

It was really hard trying to compress my Parisian adventures in just a few photos. There is so much to see and do that I wouldn’t do its justice but I think I narrowed it down to not too many, but enough to give you a sense of how spectacular Paris really is (day and night). Not even constant showers and cold temperatures could dampen my mood. Although I spend most of the day on my feet, sightseeing and mesmerizing all the history and architecture, I did make time for some amazing tea and dessert afternoons spent in Laduree ( my favorite spot of all time) and chocolate croissants eating (which I’m now regretting… not really, it was that good!).

I am certainly no export, but have learned and seen so much and can’t wait to hopefully visit again in the future. You truly can never have enough of Paris and can never see it all and I now understand why people keep coming back throughout their life. It really is a magical place.

 Hope you have a great weekend and thanks so much for all your lovely comments!

PS: Next week I will be sharing with you the London part of the trip.

 

Love,

Good morning dolls!

I am back in NY and glad to see that summer has finally arrived.

 

This is what I wore this past weekend to keep cool from the 90 degree weather. Coming from

mid 50s in Paris, this was quite a change but I welcomed bare legs and sunshine with open arms.

 I am still sorting through a million pictures and trying to get back into a swing of things, but am

glad to go back to a more normal routine and to blogging of course. I will be sharing with
you my Paris and London highlights in a few days but you can always
follow me on instagram and see what I have been up to for the past week.

 

Remember how I mentioned a few posts back how much I love jumpers in the summer?

 They are easy to dress up or down and the best part that it looks totally put together even

though it took some 20 seconds to put on. A girls dream really.

 

I have been so obsessed with Loffler Randal lately, their mini rider white bag has been my companion on daily basis, ever since I got it, so I decided to get another one and I couldn’t be happier with it. It's the perfect size and color to get me through summer and any travels
 I may have. I snatched it during their sample sale and haven’t put it down since. Truly an investment in my eyes. Do you ever fall in love with a piece that you get it
in a different color? This was a first for me.

Hope you guys had an amazing weekend!

London & Paris

 

Good morning dolls! If you follow me on Instagram (anightinnyc) or Twitter (@anightinnyc) then you already know that tomorrow I will be on the plane to my first 2013 Europe adventure. I can't even express how excited I am to visit these two gorgeous cities for the very first time.

Definitely a bucket list check off (that has been on the list for the longest time).

 

Although I have been franticly packing, unpacking and packing again (as the weather in there is not ideal and keeps throwing me off), I am now finally starting to take it all in and enjoying this moment.  Most importantly, I can't wait to come back and share with you all my amazing experiences, pictures and outfits.

There are so many things to see and do that no amount of time is large enough, but I would be contempt just to stroll the streets and drink in all the culture and beauty (and maybe take a gazillion pictures of the Eiffel Tower). So if any of you have any suggestions and places I should visit, I would love to hear it!

 

 

Be sure to follow me on instagram for all the updates.

Hope you have a great weekened.
Love,

Florida highlights

Palm trees that I love and already miss

 

Good morning my lovelies and happy Monday!

beautiful beaches  

To sum up my Florida trip, here is some of the highlights of my trip, from the beach to the Magic Kingdom. Hope you guys enjoy these pictures as much as I have. It’s a nice reminder of some amazing down time when the work week seems a bit too long.

 Love how empty and secluded the beach is, even on the weekend

 

Catching sunrays

 

 

 Shopping and enjoying the gorgeous views and flowers

 

 

 On our way to a dinner and a movie

 These were too cute to pass on, feeling like a kid again

 

 

Thank you all for your continued sweet comments that I love reading so much and for reliving my Florida getaway. You guys are amazing and I love you all dearly. This blog wouldn’t exist without you.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend. Any plans for the Memorial Day weekend?

 

Love,

The perfect jumper

 

Good morning dolls!

 

 

Thank you so much for your well wishes on my last post. I am feeling a lot better!

Your kind words truly make my day and always put a smiley on my face.

You guys are the best.

 

Here is my 3rd Florida outfit. This was one of the casual day-time looks I sported

while shopping and soaking up the sunshine.  

 

Did your mom dress you in one of these when you were younger? If she did, she is the coolest. I remember how much I loved jumpsuits/jumpers when I was younger (currently on the lookout for the perfect denim one). Granted they were less fashionable for sure, but the comfort level was still the same.  I don’t know what it is but I just love them. It seriously reduces my getting ready time (put your feet and zip) 30 seconds later I’m out the door and still feel put together. The soft fabric is like a blanket and I wish I never had to take it off. Perfect for day of shopping paired with flats and after a quick change of shoes, the easiest transition to night out wear and a dinner date. Can’t beat that during those hot, humid summer days.

jumper: club monaco (alternative here and here ) // bag: loeffler randall mini rider // shoes: zara (old)

// sunglasses: prada // bracelets: j.crew//

All in all, one of my favorite go -to-outfits come summer. What do you guys think? Have you fallen into the jumper bandwagon craze or are you still holding out? In retrospect, silk and printed shorts are just as in right now, giving us plenty of options to stay comfortable and chic all at the same time.  Yay to that.

Love,
O

Happy Monday lovelies! Hope your weekend was sunny and relaxing. It's just like

me to get sick with a flu right after my arrival back but after far too many hot beverages,

I'm starting to feel better.

 

Here is my second Florida look that I wanted to share with you guys. I love these

Zara pants and am glad to finally dig them out for spring/summer and can't wait to have

 them on repeat, perfect for day or night. In this case, I paired them with soft pink heels

(my latest obsession) for a romantic dinner with my guy. I matched my lips to the heel for a

more softer, romantic look.

 

blouse: club monaco // trousers: zara similar // shoes: sam edelman // bag: loeffler randall mini rider // necklace: banana republic (old) // ring: bcbg max azria // lipstick: nars - roman holiday//

PS. One more reason I love Florida, these were taking at around 8pm and the sun is still shinning, miss this already.

PPS. You are probably getting sick of seeing me with this bag, but I just can't seem to put it down. It somehow goes with everything I wear and perfectly transitions from day to night. Yeah I know, I'll try to switch it up, but can't make any promises.

Thanks so much for reading!
Love,
O

White + mint + yellow

 

Good morning Dolls! It feels so good to be back (home and blogging) even though

 I came back to a pouring NYC, there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed.

 

 

I feel so rested, relaxed and somewhat tanned, but all it took this morning is a

 subway ride during rush hour to get my New Yorker self back.

 

Good thing I have these amazing memories to take me back to a

more relaxed palm trees state of mind.

 

 

blouse: club monaco //shorts: zara // shoes: prabal gurung for target // sunglasses: ray-ban //

 bag:loeffler randall mini rider // necklace: tiffany // bracelets: j.crew, hm

For the next week, I will be sharing with you my Florida outfits so I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. This particular one was one of my favorite because it was so light and effortless. The shirt is actually mint, which you can’t really see all that well here. These shorts became an instant hit in my wardrobe and I tend to reach out to them more often than not.

 

PS. These pictures were taking in Mizner Plaza (one of my favorite neighborhoods in Boca Raton).

Love,

Florida getaway

 

 Happy (almost) Friday!

 

I am off packing and last minute shopping for my mini Florida getaway. Since NYC will not cooperate, I’m turning to Florida  for much needed sunrays. My guy has been there since Monday on a business trip but why not mix business with pleasure with an extended weekend of fun and sunshine? I’m flying out tomorrow and will be back Tuesday. Although I won’t be posting  for a bit, I will be taking an obscene amount of pictures of palm trees, breakfast pancakes, blues skies and cocktail drinks. So be sure to follow me along on Instagram (anightinnyc) and Twitter (@anightinnyc).

 

These are a few shots from my May 2012 trip that I wanted to share with you guys. Lots of color, florals and soft fabric to keep cool in a 90 degree weather.

 

 I’m thinking lots of shorts and tank tops, bright colors, light fabric, and a few dresses/jumpsuits for a romantic dinner or two. Basically keeping it very simple and casual but adding some details with accessories (sunglasses, silk scarfs, a straw hat, some jewelry, and a bold lip). I tend to always over-pack and

every time I promise myself to be more easygoing but I just cant help it. Better to be over-packed 

then under, am I right ladies?

 Looking forward to seeing these pretty views.

 

Here are some of the things I'm packing as of now:

Colorful Prabal Gurung for Target shoes for day//Kate Spade pop up clutch// Badgley Mischka peep toe for night// lots of straw hats HM & Club Monaco// sunnies of all shapes and colors// a very warn in Louis Vuitton purse//tablet// silk Club Monaco scarves// Loeffler Randall mini rider//

Hope you all have an amazing weekened!

Love,

O
