On The Hunt

With New York City constantly evolving and new neighborhoods trending I feel as though I can't sit still. I've already starting going out on a hunt for a new neighborhood and apartment to call home. I finally think that I found a city that is as crazy and up to speed as me!

Joe visiting the city gave us the perfect excuse to get lost in the Manhattan for a couple of nights. We crashed at the Smyth TriBeCa which became our hideout in the city while we ordered breakfast in bed, walked miles to go shopping in SoHo, and had Italian at Il Cantanori. Even though this is my home the change in neighborhood gave me a feel like I was on a mini-vaca or a "stay-cation."

Sticking with one color in your color palette doesn't need to be a bore. I always play with colors, so I decided it was time to play with neutrals and nudes. The lack of color doesn't always show a lack of style. I stayed with my typical simplistic ways this weekend while exploring my new home. I'm quickly learning how to take the subway and which route gets me to my shopping destinations.

When I love something I find myself wearing it over and over again no matter how many options I have. For example; my new Chloe sunnies (that I got super cheap at the Nordstrom half-yearly sale) I must have over ten pairs of sunglasses but I am constantly reaching for these ones when I step out for the day. I love how the size over powers my face but the small details give them a feminine touch. This picture was shot by my bestie Jess of Hell or High Fashion during my goodbye over coffee on Newbury Street in Boston. Even though it's only been two weeks since then both of our lives have become so different.

through my eyes

i have only been living in the city for a week now but it is now my home. my Greek neighborhood lets me step outside the rush of the city and get away while staying in touch with my Greek roots. i found my favorite local places for my coffee, late night chinese, and convenient store. I took these pictures at Artopoulos my weekly stop for bread, Greek cookies, and authentic Euro frappes is Artopoulos. the whole journey seems surreal and i hope that i will soon wake up so i can start living and appreciate that i am living my dream.

the weekend is finally here and all i can do is long for sunday; my favorite time of the week. it's the one weekend day that anything can be pulled together for the perfect casual outfit for brunch and some light shopping. joe took these pictures of me last sunday, the last day of my long weekend move to NYC. the weekend felt as though it would never end and i really didn't have an intention on the week beginning. but it's time in my life for this new adventure and i am so happy and grateful.

My new place in New York City is quickly starting to feel like home. My neighborhood is cute and quiet and thankfully there is a starbucks just two blocks down. This weekend I must have visited every place that I could and even started to become a regular at the local bagel shop and CVS. This is an unbelievable new chapter in my life.

My life feels like an absolute mess; my days are filled with errands, packing, and organizing while my nights are spent saying bye to some of my best friends. Today finally felt like my day off so I decided to go on a more casual route with my outfit. I have been itching to go shopping but know that the shopping in New York City is not even close to comparable. My wallet and closet will thank me for waiting.
