NYC - DAY TWO

So, I know I've been here in NYC for more than two days, but we've been so busy running around that I haven't had much time to write posts! (#bloggerproblems) Anyway, on Monday, Hanna and I went and walked the Brooklyn Bridge, visited Kmart for a bit of shopping, and had lunch at Cosi in Greenwich Village. The Denim and Diamonds FFFW Launch Party was also that evening, but I'll do a separate outfit post on that later. Anyway, here's what I wore for our walk on the bridge and around the city. 

sunnies - RayBan via Zappos

earrings - selfmade

vest - Old Navy

dress - Target

bag - Forever21

cuff - selfmade

kicks (similar) - Converse via Ross

Look who we ran into on the bridge, our fellow Fatshion Faceoff babe, Mouna! It was awesome to finally meet her in person (she is lovely, btw), and in such an unforgettable place, on the Brooklyn Bridge. :)

FATSHION FACEOFF: SEX AND THE CITY

Hey y'all! Today's Wednesday and that means it's time for the Fatshion Faceoff! Since most of us are here in NYC this week, we decided to take go for a Sex and the City theme, chosen by yours truly. And even though Mhairi isn't here with us, she was in spirit and in iPhone. You'll have to scroll down to see what I mean.. ;)

dress - c/o Yours Clothing

bag (chain added by me) - Forever21

bangles (similar) - Forever21

heels - Zara

Somehow, each of us chose a different girl from SITC to be inspired by. Can you guess who is who? And even though you can see most everyone's outfits here, you'll have to visit the other girls' blogs to see their outfit details and tell them how gorgeous they are. Because they are all totes amaze, right? RIGHT.

NYC - DAY ONE

Hello party peoples! Can you guess where I'm blogging from? NYC! That's right! You sure are smart, dear readers. As some of you might know, Hanna from The Wardrobe Challenge and I are here for Full Figured Fashion Week. We're renting an apartment in the Upper East Side together for the full Live-Like-A-New-Yorker experience, isn't that amaze? 

Today we went exploring, walking, shopping, walking, eating, and walking. Lots of walking! My feet aren't too happy with me at the moment, but oh wellsies. We also took the subway (my first time ever being on one, whoohoo!) around the city and hopped on the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, too. It's been surreal to see so many people all around and so many huge buildings everywhere. I'm not in Texas suburbia anymore, that's for sure. ;) Anyway, scroll on down and enjoy some outfit pictures and snaps from our day! 

Grand Central Station. I love the crab on the ceiling. Cancer sign for the win!

This spoke to me. Dunno why. ;)

Statue of Liberty. Smaller in person than they make her look in apocalypse movies, but still amaze.

Looking up at the Chrysler Building.

It ain't MERKA* til it's in shoes.
