NYC 3

NYC 3 :
As i was soo busy throughout the holiday, i cannot remember what day i done what . So as the days are all muddled together i just gonna go by what i remember i done tru the pics . When in New york i hugely recommend that you guys invest in the tour bus tickets . I got the tickets for City Sightseeing tours . These tickets only cost 49 dollars each and what u get included is : 5 bus tours , Night tour and a ferry tour . These tickets are 100% worth the money you pay . I used the tour bus to head on down to the cool, hip area that is Soho. This area is sucha cool little place , defo more my kinda vibe.
I also used the tour bus to go to Ground Zero and it was sucha weird atmosphere down there . Seriously guys, I have never felt feelings like i felt whilst at this . This was a weird , eery kinda feeling , almost like felt like i was standing amongst the dead . I also went to the empire state building later that night . OH MY !!! This was this breath taking , unreal views of the whole city once you reach the top.

Lets get away from all that gloomy shit and onto the pics :)

Now we are onto the next morning . I ventured to Applebee's again and got the waffles . I wasn't feeling the best but Jesus waffles aren't for me unless they are made of potatoes haha. This outfit is by far the absolute worse of the whole holiday but listen girls we all have those days on holiday where u cannot be arsed . That morning i made me way to Central Park FINALLY ! Holy Christ is it big & yet i managed to bump into Frank Lampard , yet didn't wanna bother him so took a pic on the sly .

Now onto the night time ........ I got to see my first EVER Broadway show . I went to see Finding Neverland. The production was absolutely astonishing, seriously one of the best shows i have seen in my life . As a huge musical fan i just had to go to a Broadway show and the fact that this particular one was debuting in New York and is running no where else in the world made it all the more special :) :) As i was going to the theatre, i decided to get a bit dressed up and decided i'd look like a girl for once haha. This is my ultimate fave of all my outfits from my trip , so i hope you guys like it too.

RETRO RAGZ IN NYC PART 1

Okay guys in know its been awhile since I've blogged but oh my have i got alot in store for u's :) :) This past week i have literally been living the absolute life in NEW YORK !!! Seriously, it was a truly amazing & unforgettable experience. Definitely a summer holiday to remember . 
Due to the fact i was there for 7 full days ,the blog on my adventures in New York is possibly gonna have to be a 4- 6 parter . Hope you guys don't mind , its gonna be this way because i don't wanna leave anything out at all. These blogs are gonna feature everything from OOTD , OOTN , FOOD & TOURISTY THINGS :) :) I'm not gonna be able to go into in dept details on my outfits so if u have any questions feel free to comment here or on my insta :)

So lets get started :) I arrived on Saturday & headed straight out :) :) Straight to times square i went and as I'm a HUGE child inside i went running into the TOYS'R'US :)

 

SHIRT // NINE CROWS 
HAT // FOREVER 21 
SHOES // EBAY 

Sunday was my first full day in New York , rather than get a cab everywhere we decided to have a wonder around using nothing but our feet :) :) Doing this is got to see sooo many things that most people would usually use a taxi or tour bus for . I had an advantage given that i was there for 7 days but i do encourage people if in New York get out and use your feet to see the city !!!! Its the best day . I got to see Times square , Grand Central , 5th Ave , Carnegie Hall & Rockefeller Centre :) :)

Here's a few pics from during the day :

Rockefeller Centre


Before i went to New York i researched a lot . As an avid musical fan i found out about this diner called , Ellen's Stardust Diner. Its full of aspiring Broadway hopefuls . I went here on Sunday night & it was as amazing as the reviews i read . We entered & suddenly the waiters & waitresses burst into soles & duos . Anyone in the Times Square area please please please check this place out :) 




Also on Sunday night i went on a night bus tour of New York it was Amazing & of course required a change of outfit :) :)

EARTHY








Jacket // Nine Crows 
Tshirt // Loving Youth
Jeans // Penneys ( Primark)
Boots // Korkys

Just a quick little outfit blog post for you guys :) This is about as basic as i can get guys. Even at that to me this isn't very basic . I felt like a bit of a G.I Jane in this outfit today  because of the earthy , army type tones . I wasn't really in the mood of been very funky so i decided funky hair had to do ! I am a firm believer in the fact that just cause your outfit is basic doesn't mean your hair does have to be. I hate been boring and normal if I'm honest , but for full disclosure i am so envious of those girls that can dress in anything and look great !

Anyways lets get on with the outfit details :

Jacket : I got this in the old reliable , Nine crows . I was a little obsessed with bomber jackets a few months ago and in the space of like a month i bought 3 . Although i look them all this seems to be a favourite as i seem to be wearing it alot and its my go to basic jacket . I find this type of khaki colour is the one for brunettes , if anything suits a brunette its a earthy green . I'm not saying blondes wont pull it off but i think its better for us dark haired gurls :) :) This bomber was about 35euro and such a bargain considering similar ones are been sold in Topshop and the likes for like 80e. 

Tshirt : This i picked up in the loving youth concession in topshop , Jervis st. By far this is one of my favourite topshops and the fact it has loving youth makes me make daily trips without fail . I have been stalking the loving youth section for the past 2 weeks now looking for the 'Suki' dress for my holidays , but then i seen this little beaut and had to have . It was 22e and again something much cheaper than most commercial stores . As anyone can who reads me blog , you know i love vintage & this little concession is a god send , so cheap , so handy and some of the stuff is so unique.

Jeans : These i picked up in penneys for 8e . Wasn't really expecting much ( 8e like ) but to be honest they will do the job. These defo don't compare to river island jeans but for girls looking for a certain style on the cheap , hit penneys up . They have upped there jean game and have a HUGE variety of styles now. I will in all honesty be stocking to river island BUT if I'm ever in need of a cheap pair I'll be getting them in penneys. Ps for all you short gurls like me , they FINALLY do a shorter length in most styles of jeans. HOOOORAH i hear ya yell :) :)



MAKE UP :


 Not to toot my own horn , but lately Ive been getting better and better with my make up . I'm far from a make up artist and the fact I'm pale , i feel that make up doesn't look as good as it would if i was a bit darker . I feel like there isn't enough pale blogger who give tips on what make up they are using , so i may as well included it on here . 

Foundation : As I'm going to new york in less than a week i needed a cheap foundation to hold me over till i get to Sephora . I picked up Rimmel match perfection in shade 010 ( light porcelain ) it doesn't 100%  match my skin but i can blend using the pressed powered i use . The coverage of this foundation is enough but not very heavy on the face which is perfect . Defo recommend picking this up as a back up for sure . It was 6.99 in boots and im sure it is available in other stores too .

Blush :  In this picture i used Bourjois blusher in shade 85 ( Sienne.) I am very fond of a orangey , brown for my complexion and this was just perfect . I 110% prefer a orange / brown tone blusher for a brunette , as i think pink is better suited for blondes . I feel like when i put pink blusher on that I'm Wednesday Addams trying to be barbie . Its just not for me . I cant remember the price point of this but again its available in boots. 

High lighter : OHHHHH MY LORD , i dunno what i ever did before i used this !!!!! Seriously everyone needs to invest in inglot sparkling dust . I got it in a champagne type of shade and its perfect . I only use a tiny bit but the effect it has on my make up is huge . The amount of compliments i have gotten with using this are countless . Its priced at 20e and will last a good couple of months .

Hope you guys enjoyed this latest blog post and the included make up bit as well. I am hoping to blog again during the week as i might not be able to for the next 2 weeks as I'm going to New York .
