Weekend in New York


I'm back from my weekend getaway to New York. I'll never forget the surprised look on my grandma's face. My sister and brother were in on it, but no one else was. My husband and I arrived at the airport around 11 am and my brother came to pick us up. I was texting my sister and told her we were close to the house. She used the Drop In feature on Amazon Echo to connect with my grandma. She was chatting with my grandma as I walked in the house. My grandma was so engrossed with my sister that she didn't even notice me standing right next to her. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. She turned her head and looked up and her eyes got huge and her smile just got wider and wider and she said, "aiya aiya aiya!" It was too freakin cute. My sister managed to take a blurry photo from her screen. I wish it was more clear, but you can see how happy she is there. 


First stop was dim sum! My parents took us to this awesome place called New Lake Pavilion. It was some of the best dim sum I have ever had. It's located near Flushing. It's a lot closer to where my parents live. I think it's even better than Jing Fong. My husband kept saying it's so unfair that we can't get dim sum as good as this in Atlanta. 


That night my sister got us box seats to see Radiohead at Madison Square Garden. I LOVE Radiohead. It's one of my favorite bands. The set list was amazing and Thom York's energy is contagious. This is a shot of all the people holding up their phones with the flashlight on as we waited for an encore. 


Before the show we stopped by Dominque Ansel's Bakery for a Blueberry Cronut. If you haven't had a Cronut, you need to try it just once. Each month he produces a different flavor and apparently he never repeats the flavor ever again. Smart! They are very sweet though. Sometimes too sweet for me.


Throughout the weekend, I checked the kitty cam and we were actually very worried about Flash at one point. We didn't see him for a long time because he was hiding underneath the chair. I think he missed us the most. We had a friend stop by twice to check in on them. All of them were fine. I'm sure they're happy we're back! I missed them so much.


That's it for me! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and here's to another Monday. Back to the grind!

  1. That smile is worth a million bucks! I’m sure your grandma was thrilled to see you.

    How did your furry kids react when you came home?

    1. Flash was like yay you're back! *Snuggles*
      Ash was kinda indifferent.
      Simi was like good, now feed me my wet food already.
      Nero was the same as usual and he's used to being left alone for a weekend here and there.

      =D

    2. That’s so funny! Don’t you love that they all have a different personality? My Westie would be like “Okay you’re finally home. Now I’m going to go through your baggage cos I’m sure there’s something for me.”

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
