My second year at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic at Liberty State Park and I did things right. After getting my feet wet last year and taking it all in, I learned quickly the must-haves and dos prior to the event.

A- definitely worth purchasing at least one of the First Ferry Tickets. Although these tickets are double the cost of General Admission, it is worth having someone get over to the park and grabbing a prime spot to set your picnic right in front of the polo pitch.

B- pack snacks and water! I had a lovely selection of fruits for champagne, meats, cheeses and crackers.

C- blankets are essential but chairs and a mini table are just awesome. I didn't bring a set this year but wouldn't be opposed to having one next year.

D- comfy shoes are a necessity as you literally walk 20 minutes. I tell you no lie. Plus after a day of drinking champagne who knows where your liquid courage will take you afterwards.

Just call me Don Johnson...Miami Vice anyone? With that summer heat rising, there was only one thing to do today. Wear not just anyone white suit, but a Detective Crockett suit.

Don't mind the fact that the photos became brighter as the "photo shoot" progressed. Didn't you hear - the sun never sets on a badass ;)

Happy sweating!

Concrete Jungle

Dress: TJ Maxx - Maxxinista baby (Similar HERE), Shoes: Zara

How awkward are these photos? haha Now let it happen. Up on the roof today in my work attire. A funny play on the term Concrete Jungle because NYC is the concrete jungle and yet i'm wearing animal print on top of concrete, ya dig? No? Too bad. Enjoy it anyways!

One day i'll grow up and buy a real wrap dress from the lady and creator herself, Diane Von Furstenberg ;) Until then, i'll play pretend.

 

Moment At The Met

Having Museum Mile in my backyard - so to speak - I decided to start taking advantage. Others come from miles away to visit the museums of this city and I better start checking them out myself. Today was the Museum Mile Festival and I certainly enjoyed the street music and free admission. Although, most of The Met was blocked off except for the main floor. It gave a good tease as to what lies beyond the velvet ropes.

One of my favorite parts within the recently dubbed Anna Wintour Costume Center, were the quotes imprinted on the glass within the displays. My favorite (pictured above) - Forget all you know & learn something every day - Charles James.

Apologies for the poor images taken above - no flash allowed don't ya know!

 

I'm Alive and Kickin'

Hello world! I know you've missed me and I apologize for being M.I.A. for the past week. A lot has been happening post Memorial Day Weekend. Can't wait to share all!

If you caught my Instatweets, you noticed I was fortunate enough to make it to the VC Polo Classic again this year (pictured above)! woo! More great news - I've finally made the move to the Big Apple, Empire State, Concrete Jungle. There will be fun posts to come this week recapping it all.

Happy Tuesday! Cin Cin xx

Had a lovely break with a colleague and took a few fun snaps last week outside our office. The tulips are absolutely gorgeous and we just couldn't resist.

 

Sunday's Best

My Sunday Best just for Easter. Had a lovely Linner (Lunch/Dinner) with my parents on the lake closest to my home. It's always nice to spend quality time together and get dressed up. Happy to be wearing white - although my legs were definitely a much lighter color. Sun...keep on shining!

Battery Perks

One of the perks for working in the Financial District is the scenery by the water. Battery Park has come a long way since that ignorant slut of a storm, a.k.a. Sandy. Unfortunately, at the time of this mini photo shoot/coffee run, it was absolutely freezing and the wind was aggressive. Nonetheless, my brave and bold photographer tried a new method of taking pictures....pressing the button down while screaming. I never felt so alive while being photographed. Why was she screaming you ask? Perhaps she was frightened by my incredible silhouette, perhaps out of pure happiness, but my guess - pure pain of the wind biting at her face. Beautiful, I know. Here's to you my friend!
