NYC ROUND 2

It's hard to comprehend the fact that, for 18 years of my life I had never travelled farther north than North Carolina(not kidding), and now I have been to New York City twice during the course of three months. My first trip was in fact THE result of an 18 year long argument with my parents that basically consisted of me whining that I'll never be able to become my full self until I travel to the city, which my parents typically responded with multiple eye rolls and casual subject changes. But yes, I finally did make it. And yes, my heart was fulfilled. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when my best friend Mary Alyce invited me to accompany her and her mom and sister AND our other bff Erin to a trip to New York. Hahahaha. Another trip to New York WITH my best friends???!!! I think I am now officially living in a cheesy Disney show! I can't handle my life sometimes. So, our trip took off(literally we were on a plane) the morning after our LAST homecoming at school(blog post to come about that, and it will be good!!!). We were there for four days and, because I've studied the map of Manhattan more times that Miley has stuck her tongue out in the last year, I was the designated navigator. Hence, it really felt like I lived there this time! Great feeling! On our trip, we went to the Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, saw Once, shop in Soho, window shopped on the Upper East Side, AND went to the Statue of Liberty. Experiencing that with my best friends in the world was incredible.

TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY

 

 

Hello all, if you have been following me on my instagram, you know very well that I FINALLY MADE IT TO NEW YORK! Visiting, seeing, living, even touching New York City has been a dream of mine since before the pre-reconstruction era (sorry I've been missing APUSH lately). Basically I've been obsessed for my entire life (I blame too many viewings of Eloise at the Plaza) and actually getting to go to the greatest city in the world was indescribable for me. Not to mention I got to experience the city with my two best and longest friends! A dream come true right?! YES! The trip could not have been more perfect, from sightseeing, to Bergdorf Goodman, to minor shoe mishaps, the trip was like living in a filterless scenic instagram picture. But okay, here's the quickest synopsis ever of my three and a half day trip: We arrived at our hotel around 3:00pm on Saturday and went straight to the Upper West Side. We saw the Gossip Girl made famous Empire Hotel, Lincoln Center, Century 21, Central Park, Columbus Circle, and more! Next day(Sunday) we toured, shopped, walked, lived, kissed(just kidding), the Upper East Side and Fifth Ave! We went to the MET, the Plaza, Bergdorf's, and more and I DIED! Monday(I'm so dead of happiness by this point) we went shopping in Soho(loved), then went to the Top of Rockfeller Center(loved!), and that night saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway(LOVEDDDDD!). Finally, our last day, we awoke super early to stop by Good Morning America then to catch a quick brunch before our flight. Our plans were slightly altered when we realized KARLIE KLOSS was going to be on GMA! Of course we stayed and my friend Eric even got a picture with her! And, just like that, our trip was over and we were back on a flight to Nowhere, GA.

 

 

Now here are my main OOTD's from the trip. Let me just say there were a lot of wardrobe changes on my part:)
