A Walk Through the Park

Although I'm still sick, yesterday was absolutely beautiful here so I knew I could not stay in the house. The weather reached 60 degrees! My roommate and I decided to take a walk in the park and I brought my camera along to try out my new fish eye lens but I managed to snap some outfit pictures too. :)

OUTFIT DETAILS
Jacket - American Eagle
Tunic - Forever21

Scarf - Forever21
Boots - Local Store
Bag - H&M
Necklace - Etsy

This outfit was so easy to just throw on and I actually really liked the result. It's a bit more of a fall outfit but I love fall colors. We made the plan to go to the park rather quickly and found ourselves ready in record time. I really just threw everything on and walked out the door. My roommates are ridiculously supportive of me and my blog so luckily, they don't mind me taking my camera everywhere while I try new lens or take outfit pictures. Thanks Nisha! :)

And now my new fish eye lens. 

I love the effect it has on pictures. It looks so cool. :) And now I must go cook me some lunch and catch up on Jersey Shore and The Office. My friends are coming over tonight and tomorrow I'm not entirely sure what we'll be doing. All I know for sure is that I'm spending Sunday in the library. Sundays are my most productive days here. Hopefully I can get rid of this stupid cold by then so I actually have the energy to do homework. I hope you guys have a great weekend!

Ten Things I love

1. Pocketwatch Necklaces

I recently purchased a pocket watch necklace and I love it. There's something so timeless and classy about a pocketwatch. This beauty above is from Modcloth. It's too bad it's sold out.

2. Vintage Keys

Okay sooo story time. When I was a baby, one of the first gifts I ever got was a gold key pendant from my godmother. At the time, (I'm not entirely sure if this is some type of Dominican myth or not buttt) the key was said to stop nosebleeds which I used to have quite often as a child. I was later told that it had two purposes. It's first purpose was to stop my nosebleeds but its second purpose was to be given to the love of my life on the day of my wedding. I still have the key (obviously because I'm not married) but I think it gave keys a whole new meaning for me. Ever since, I have been obsessed with keys, especially old vintage ones. I already have like two key necklaces but I love this one pictured above. :)

3. Bohemian Handbags

They just look so pretty to me. Perfect for summer strolls and if you get a messenger, they can fit just about anything. :) This beauty can be found on Amazon.

4. Bright Red Lipstick

When it comes to make up, I am a minimalist. I hardly do anything besides eyeliner and because my lips are so small, I like drawing attention to them and bright red lipstick is definitely the way to go if you want to draw attention to your lips. The lipstick I love and use is #127 by Inglot.

5. Love Letters

Love letters are definitely underrated. With technology advancing as much as it has, people rarely take the time out to write anything anymore as there's texting and emailing so readily available. My boyfriend and I are big on cards and we give each other cards for every occasion. I think that's nicer than looking back on a saved text personally. It isn't exactly a love letter, but at least it's handwritten.

6. Polaroid Hearts

Now that I have my polaroid camera, I cannot wait until I have enough pictures to make a whole heart. Isn't the idea of having the heart where your headboard is supposed to go adorable? I love it. :)  

7. Pictures taken with Fish Eye Lens

I think I might need to invest in this for my camera. I love how the pictures come out.

8. Quirky Decor for your Home

Isn't this adorable? I, personally, have an obsession with owls. I have three owl necklaces and even an owl bookend but I don't have an owl to hold my mail. This quirky thing is from Urban Outfitters.

9. Old Pictures of NYC

It's no secret that I love all things NYC, but I especially love being able to see how it was 20, 50, even 100 years ago. 

10. Jewelry Organizers

If you remember from my accessories post, I have A LOT of jewelery and I'm always looking at ways I can organize and reorganize them. This wooden organizer is perfect because it has so many compartments and even some hooks for some necklaces. It can be found on Etsy.

And there you have it. What are some of the things you guys love? I'd love to know. :)
