nyc weekend day 2 part 1

the second day of our shopping weekend in nyc began with some sightseeing on our way uptown to 5th avenue and central park. we passed through bryant park where i had to grab a pic in the place where all the tents were only a month before. we also stopped for pics of the love sculpture and times square. after some quick shopping at sephora and victoria's secret for some essentials and some wishful browsing at chanel we went to mulberry on madison to pick up my new bayswater. the mulberry store on mercer where i'd gotten my wallet the day before didn't have the colour bayswater i wanted. after much deliberation between the chocolate darwin leather and the taupe or forest green goats leather colours i had to have the taupe. the colour was beautiful and neutral plus the goats leather is less susceptible to water damage then the darwin. it was amazing going into the shop and seeing the whole collection on all the shelves. i got to try all the different styles and have the whole experience of buying something so lux and that i've wanted for so long. i loved every minute of it. i took these pics of my giant mulberry shopper bag and my checked luella inspired dress in the barneys bathroom mirror! i had to have an impromptu photoshoot, the bathroom was just so glam, very deco. i didn't get anything i ended up keeping at barneys though my sister got a new marc bag. i bought dark blue current elliot destroyed skinny jeans but i ended up returning them as the back pockets just didn't do anything for me even they were very nice from the front. we ended the morning with stops at diesel, h&m and an amazing burger at the burger joint in the le parker meridien, so fun and yummy. after a morning of serious shopping and lugging heavy shopping bags we had to get a cab back to the hotel to unload.
