Our first breakfast in New York City was at The Grey Dog in Chelsea.  I had read about it through a link from a blog but I can't remember where.  It sounded exactly like something we were looking for:  off the beaten path, hipster-esque, home-cooking with breakfast classics.

We walked almost three kilometres--from Times Square; but next time we'll know to take the subway--to finally arrive at a rustic, coffeehouse on a quieter street lined with town homes and apartments.

If you follow me on Instagram (I'm acoest1984), you've seen these shoes I purchased a few weeks back.  I searched four Winners to find them and was so excited to finally get my hands on a pair!

They have really nice padding for the bottom of your foot but they do run a little snug.  I got my normal size (10) but they definitely need to be worked in and stretched out a bit; however, since they're real leather, it shouldn't be a problem over time.

As far as the outfit, I'm loving these pants--I'm a huge black pant lover, especially for work, and these take my regular skinnies up a notch.  I especially love the side zipper and  a cool seam that runs up the back of the legs to back pockets--so much so that I tried to get them in navy after buying these but they were sold out.

I'm back from NYC with a whole lot of photos that I'm hoping you would like to see!  While it was a quick trip and we didn't get to see everything--is that even possible in one trip anyway?--it was a wonderful getaway.  

This post is photo heavy so I'm putting it all after the jump.


We left super early on Thursday morning to fly out.  We flew Porter, which was a really nice change, and took advantage of the lounge at the airport to drink our caffeine and and wake up.



Tons of photos after the jump...
As you know, I was in NYC for four days (Thursday through Sunday) and so that pretty much takes up my weekend recap, however, since we did arrive home shortly afternoon, I still have a few snaps I'd like to share, if you'd like to see...


After hanging out at home for a bit, I decided to run out to Ardene to check out their swimsuit selection...


More after the jump...

I saw these at Macy's while in NYC and can't stop thinking about them.  I didn't buy them, nor even try them on, because technically they are not something I need to spend my money on right now, but these are so amazing I had to share them here.  They also come in a olive-brown option.

I'll be back later today with a few non-New York weekend snaps and will have a full recap of my trip tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by & for being patient while I get my photos together.
