Style Memories: NYC

I have taken a couple of looks from this series from my time in NYC, I defiantly felt exceptionally comfortable there. I love how the vibe changes from each neighbourhood, as you move from the grunge of the west village, to the laid back streets of soho up to the prim upper east side the city changes before your eyes.

I defiantly related to the street style of soho, it was just so simple and easy, like they had woken up and threw it on and I LOVE THAT.
As cringe as it sounds, it was a defining fashion moment for me as I realised as much as I would love to be perfectly turned out every day with a beautiful blow out and a cat eye, it's just not me (I like a lie in) well at least 360 days of the year... but Soho told me that was OK. So in true downtown style, I took these photos In Brooklyn overlooking the skyline on the most b-e-a-utifully crystal clear day.

For this outfit threw on my ripped jeans, battered well loved converse, brandy melville top (which I discovered on my first trip to NYC at 16, I thought it was only right) Topshop coat, Marc Jacobs bag and Zara scarf.

SKATE

Today things got very christmassy. 

We decided to take a trip to the snazzy new ice rink which has just opened at Somerset House. 

At one end is the most amazing tree decked out in blue, gold and silver baubauls with mini Fortnum and Mason hampers. Too pretty to resist a picture, or 10.

                         Scarf- Zara   Jeans- Billabong    Top- Brandy Melville   Cardigan- Warehouse   

We then proceeded to hit the ice, some had more grace than others as I proceeded to fall flat on my ass.

We then retired with some hot chocolate and watched the other skaters do their thing, a lot more gracefully than myself. 

This year Fortnum and Mason have set up shop here with their own glorious little christmas emporium full to the rafters with food and gifts.

On the way back home we dropped into Sugar Sin, a cute little sweet shop in Covent Garden.
It was too pretty not share...

Beachin'

Today still lacking waves we walked over the cliffs admiring the view and stopping at our favourite hotel the druidstone. 

It was more of a friends and family affair so my clothes are pretty lack luster but my coat is from super dry, hoodie from Abercrombie and top from Joules. 

My best friend Josie came with us this year, she studies at Reading and is easily one of the funniest people you will ever meet. 

We went down to solva quay in the afternoon and the sun peeped its head out every now and again.
