Night Out in NYC

The day started out nicely, here I am before the rain! Off to NYC for singing and eating!

Indian cotton shirt: Marshall's

Shorts: Forever 21

Suede Mocassin Fringed Boots: Airwalks

Here is the style of boot I am wearing, these will transition easily into fall...

Now, come with me to NYC...

View from the car.

Horse drawn carriages are always somewhere in NYC. I've never had a ride in one. I felt bad for the horse. He looked like he needed a nap and it was raining :( I tried to get him in the shot but failed and only got the tail end of him, lol.

It stated raining so badly and I didn't want to ruin my suede boots so I put these socks on with my sneakers! They're from Payless. (I keep socks in my glove compartment and my sneakers in my car in case I have to walk or it rains!)

 Yes Virginia, there really is a Soup Man!

Miso glazed salmon, veggies and rice

Pink flower on top of the food and another in a vase.

I love pink flowers, did they know I was coming? :)

My Singing Debut

I wore this little color blocking outfit out singing tonight in NYC.

 I always talk about how much I love music and singing, so

 without further adeiu here is some footage hubby took of me doing just that!

First, I just had to rep Brooklyn and do some Notorious BIG, here's part one

and part two...

And here's my favorite, Adele!

Photo Flashback: Nelly Furtado Inspired

I haven't done a photo flashback in forever! This is a picture I took back in 2001 I believe. It's funny how I was "fashion blogging" back then minus the blog. I think I started putting outfit ideas together in the womb. At the time, I was planning on going to an MTV audition for a singing show, but that show didn't end up getting developed for some reason and I never got to audition. The show wanted contestants to emulate current artists almost exactly and a list was provided to chose from. I was going to sing a Nelly Furtado song since I was crazy about her. And I was also prepared to dance if need be. I wasn't playing around. So I also needed to dress like Nelly. I loved that skirt! I would even wear that outfit today. Not really sure why my arms are held out like that. Maybe it was a kind of "Hey, look at me" moment. Ah, youth.

Tank: Banana Republic
Necklace: NYC Street Vendor
Skirt: Free People (Loehman's located in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn)
Shoes: Banana Republic (SoHo Banana Republic)

*These shoes were the first item I ever bought with my first real paycheck. I still have them and wear them. I tended to buy a lot of neutral colors for coats, shoes etc... to stretch my dollars and so I could match anything I already owned. I saved bright colors for my clothes only.

I almost forget, here's the song...
