Portraits in the Museum of Modern Art

My beautiful cousins came up to NYC for a girls weekend and I was able to take some shots of them while exploring MOMA this weekend. They are all absolute beauties and are the funnest, funniest, sweetest, craziest bunch and it made my heart so happy to spend time with them.

the best weekend outfit for a day in the city

Note: Not the best wear for the impending blizzard approaching New York City...When I wore this yesterday, it was sunny and 45 degrees. Today we are waiting for what will supposedly be one of the biggest snow-blizzards of all time!! I never liked wearing tennis shoes (or sneakers as they say here) for anything other than working out before I moved to New York. But now that I live here, all I want to wear are the most comfy shoes I can find for all the walking we do here. When picking what to wear for a Saturday or Sunday, I try to wear something that is both comfortable + stylish. Black leggings, comfy sneakers, a loose tee, and a leather jacket or over-sized sweater are my go-to pieces to wear. They allow me to easily stay out all day and comfortably enjoy any of the days activities--walking everywhere, running to catch the train, strolling in the park, or eating brunch at a cafe. :)

a peek into our home

Its been 3 weeks in our new apartment, and things are slowly coming together.  Although a lot smaller than our last place, it is cozy and homey and we LOVE the location! We had to get rid of a lot of stuff when we moved, including our bookshelves.  We have a lot of books...and so they are currently residing on the floor in various corners around the place. And, I actually kind of like it!! It makes finding a book a little difficult but hey, I like the challenge. :) We also have not set up our canopy bed yet, so the mattress remains on the box spring on the floor...and I kind of secretly hope we never set it up. :) Some pictures below from our new place:
