A NYC Magical weekend

This pass weekend Mr. B and I decided to head into the city to walk around, shop and grab some street eats. It was so fun and there was just something magical about it. I took my camera along to photograph somethings. I am pretty sure we walked 40 blocks that day. Pretty awesome.

This is what greeted us right outside of Penn Station. Lots of people, cabs and billboards.

The next stop H & M, how cool is this light fixture. I really wanted it !

Next up Lush. Have you been? If not find one in your area and get there asap. It's amazing and all the products are great. I ended up getting sugar lips scrub and hand gurugu

Here are the handmade soaps they offer too. Never tried but I hear they are amazing too !

Next up Bryant Park. It was a first for me and Mr. B... weird right? This time of year they have their own beautiful tree and cute holiday shops. It was very fun. Here is a picture of the trees because yes, there are trees in spots of NYC.

I think the tree in Bryant Park is way prettier then the one in Rock Center. This one even has ornaments and is accessible. So very cool.

And a little closer :

There were a lot of cool shops. I didn't take pictures of most of them but this was super cool outside the Coat of Arms shop

Here is the Empire State building peaking through the trees from Bryant Park.

And one from the street

So next up the famous 53rd & 6th food card. Amazing Gyros. On our way up St. Patricks Cathedral

And along the way the amazing windows at Macy's. They were beyond cool




As we headed back down to Midtown we stopped at the Rock Center tree. Let me tell you chaos ! It felt as if I was marching in place at points because no one was moving.

Here is some more holiday decor through out the city




On our way back up Mr. B met a tin man =) I did have a video of this but it's very weird and sideways lol

Here is Christie's auction house. Mr. B had no clue why I was even taking this picture. I guess I watch too much of The Today Show.

Liz's stuff was in there on auction and all her pictures were outside, here is one.

Here is us =)

And it was Santacon. For those who don't know what that is, well it's a bar crawl where people dress up as Santas or holiday themed things. We saw many Santa's and most were drunk as skunks lol ! Here is a line of them outside a bar. Looks like I caught someone mid kiss too.




And I don't know if this will work, but it was a cool guy playing Christmas music on a sax. I have a soft spot for a sax...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of some things. As I me

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of a yes and I immediately t
