Monthly Favorites: July

HELLO!

It is the beginning of another month, which means I will share my favorites of the past month! :D

When it comes to makeup, I have been loving a bunch of NYX stuff as usual! I've been loving the NYX white liquid liner, soft matte lip cream in Morocco, and lipstick in Elektra.

I have been also loving the Pixi nail polish in Summer Pink.

When it comes to fashion, I have been loving my new flip flops from Target! XD They are super cute!

Another thing that I have been loving lately is taking pictures. Granted, I am nowhere near to being a half of a decent photographer but it is a very fun hobby to have! I even made a tumblr just to share my favorite pictures! >.<

This month, I have been reading Phantom of the Opera, which I have been loving so far, specially in the parts that I recognize from the musical! (the nerd in me feels extremely happy!) :)

One of my favorite moments this month, even though it happened by the end of it, was going to New York City (for the first time by myself) and seeing 39 Steps, which the funniest play! I loved it! XD And I also went by Godiva, and got the delicious chocolate covered strawberries that remind of Paris, and couldn't resist stopping by Shmackary's and getting some cookies to go! :)

What have you been loving this past month?

A Day in New York

HELLO!

As you've seen from yesterday's post, I went to NYC on memorial day. I mainly went there just to explore a bit, take some cool pictures, and go to Shmakary's for the Broadway Bakes, and get to see Laura Osnes! :)

I took the best way to go to NYC, in my opinion, which is taking the Staten Island Ferry that calls for amazing pictures and a super pretty view! You hop off the Ferry and you are by Battery (I was obviously singing: THE BRONX IS UP BUT THE BATTERY DOWN! #onthetownreference). Soho, which is my favorite area of NYC, isn't too far of a walk from where I was so I walked around there a bit, and went to my favorite store: Topshop! :)

After walking around Soho a bit, I took the subway to the Columbus Circle to have a late lunch at my favorite bakery, called Francois Payard Bakery. They have really good macarons, and my favorite sandwich type of thing that I had at Euro Disney. :) After relaxing a bit in FBP, I walked toward Times Square, which isn't a long walk either (completely forgot to through Central Park for pictures  D: ).

And lastly, the thing that I had been waiting for the whole the day was about to happen! I would meet one of my favorite broadway actresses over at Schmakery's, which is like a bakery that specializes on cookies (which are amazing! Definitely a great to go when in NYC for the first time!). The bakery is having Broadway stars sell their cookies from the 25th to the 29th of May, for Broadway Bakes (Here's info of the schedules if you are close to NYC).

At Schamakery's I got a Schmores cookie, that was wonderful, but I was too tired already to take a picture of it (trust me, it was amazing!). Laura Osnes and Corey Cott were selling the cookies, and they were super sweet, singing happy birthday (which Laura sang an octave higher and I melted inside #musicaltheatrefreak) for the girls who were having their birthdays and taking selfies. I also bought Laura's cd, which she signed and all of the money went straight to Broadway Cares.

I then went back home, just as happy I always am after seeing a musical, and took pictures the way back to Staten Island, which the sun helped a lot! :)

What's in My Bag: NYC Edition

HELLO!

If you follow me on instagram, you may know that I went to NYC yesterday. Because I am super tired today, and my brain has given up one me, I thought I would do a quick post on what I brought to NYC in my bag! :)

My bag is the same backpack that I did the post on how I style a backpack, and I brought this one because I would be caring my DSLR and it was easier to carry a big camera this way.

So, I had my wallet (Target), my keys, and my iPhone (case from Target). I also brought my makeup/emergency bag, in it I have a nail polish, which Sally Hensen's Blue Me Away (because I painted my nails on the drive to the ferry), some Advil, mints, contact lenses solution, band-aids, my MAC concealer, the mascara I was wearing (Maybelline's Mega Plush), my ELF translucent powder, my NYX lipstick in XOXO, and a hair clip. I also brought my DSLR with me, but couldn't put it in the shot, since I was taking the picture with it!

What do you have in your bag?
