As promised her are the rest of my shots from my Birthday weekend in the Big Apple. 

I'm sorry there are so many picture of the bridges, but I am just so interested in the architecture and the creation of these enormous structures. 

Arch, cable, suspension, cantilever; it doesn't matter they all capture my attention and fascinate me. 

There is a cable stayed bridge over a freeway near my house that I really want to ride over. I think a slow shutter at dusk with the traffic would be a really cool shot. 

enjoii the pics xx

When asked about my most memorable experience from New York, I think it would have to be one of the times we rode the subway. 

Erin was getting very "hangry" ((see definition here)) and there was an elderly man playing a violin on the platform. Now, all Erin could focus on was the idea of not passing out from malnourishment  AND getting on the next tram out of the station. She turned to me with crazy eyes and said, that she was going to kill the violinist by shoving his stick down his throat.  

Funny now that I think back. :)

 I hope you enjoy my shots from around the city.

Is it sad to say that I went to the Fashion Capital and I was very un-impressed with the women's fashion?

Is it cool to say that the Men were killing it with their street style?

Needless to say, I got my creep on with some candid shots of boys that impressed me the most. 

A nice eclectic mix of urban, casual, clean cut, industrial and retro.

Double thumbs up to all the homies featured in this post. 

  

a New York minute

The bigger the City, the bigger the adventure.

glasses- Ray Bans, shirt- Mi Amore, jeans- Joes Jeans, boots- Vince Camuto, jacket- Banana Republic, bag- LV

My trip to the big apple was just what the doctor ordered. I got to enjoy lots of sights, conversations with strangers, architecture, food, exercise, new experiences (AHEM, the subway) and quality time with my girlfriend, Erin. 

I have known this chick for over 15 years- we met going to a Jessica Simpson concert in the 7th grade. Little did I know, years later we'd be trotting around the streets of New York..dodging taxi cabs and pastrami sandwiches (le sigh* ...She's vegan) 

But I guess, I'll just have to go back for the pizza another trip. 

   

so juiced

Have you tried a juice cleanse?

Detoxes and extreme diets like the Master Cleanse can be controversial, but advocates say juice cleanses made from raw fruits and veggies are safe. 

“Many people turn to cleanses because they feel off—they’re bloated and sluggish, dependent on caffeine and junk food cravings, breaking out,” says Stephanie Middleberg, a New York City-based registered dietitian. “When you eliminate toxins from your system, your entire body feels better and reacts both internally and externally.”  

But detoxes may shift you away from bad habits (like too much coffee, alcohol, and fatty foods) and help foster healthier habits (like keeping up with your workout routine, eating clean, and making better life choices). 

Juice cleanses are pretty popular, which means you can pick some up right at your local grocery store. Plus tons or companies ship right to your doorstep! Most cleanses come in 3 //5// 10 day packs and you can buy your favorite flavors individually.

travel day

Welcome to New York.. concrete jungle where dreams are made of..

Today I'm flying to the other side of the country for a very special birthday... MINE!!

I'll be on vacation with one of my girl friends, who I've known for over 15 years. We met, going to a Jessica Simpson concert when we were in 7th grade. We have stayed friends since! I think she is the best of everything- beautiful, kind hearted and incredibly sarcastic (just the way I like um) 

I cant wait to explore the City, nosh on delicious treats, take tons of pictures and laugh... a lot.

Love ya girl, cant wait for our adventure!! xo
