nyc recap day 3

after heading to bed early the night before i ended up waking up before everyone else and headed out for a morning to myself. it was pretty early so to kill some time before the shops opened i went and hunted down the breakfast at tiffany's house. it's the brownstone that holly golightly lived in in the film. after awkwardly trying to get pics of me in front of the house without people thinking i was stalking those that actually lived there i headed to a luncheonette for some breakfast. i ended of the morning with a quick stop at duane reade for anti bacterial spray and tissues and victoria's secret where i picked up some undies, a adorable striped sleep set and a pair of pink boyfriend sweatpants which i'm wearing as i type this. after meeting up with chris, kevin and sonia we headed downtown to century 21 on the subway. it was my first time on the ny transit line and i was impressed with how fast, clean and cheap it was. we stopped at starbucks and the girl spelt my name so wrong on my cup that  i had to snap a pick. i've never seen cindy spelled that way, ever. century 21 was so overwhelming, it's 4 floors of fashion mayhem. there were lots of deals to be had but i settled on a primp grey and black hoodie with swallows all over it and a black classic thomas wylde bikini. kevin picked up an amazing juicy men's leather jacket at 450$ off the online price. after quickly checking out the world trade center site we met up with carly, darryl and brandon in the lower east side. this is where i found the coolest vintage stores. around ludlow and rivington were store after store of amazing stuff and at one such place i got the best boots ever. carly picked them out first but they were too big for her. they are black, just over the knee flat boots with zippers that run all the way up the back. best of all the were brand new never worn vintage and under 90$. i wore them my last two days in nyc. after a lack luster lunch i met up with my friend joanne for tea and a chat as she lives in jersey now. we ended the night off with two free bottles of vodka and half empty stomachs at the smallest most expensive dinner ever at public.
