Brooklyn Flea Photo Diary

Field Trip!!! Alright maybe not exactly. This was a good girls weekend to unwind after a busy work week. I visited the Brooklyn museum on Saturday then made a trip yesterday to the Brooklyn Flea Market and the Artists & Fleas shops in Williamsburg. Although I only walked away with a pretty cool bracelet, (which as of now I'm swearing to never take off), I managed to get some good shots of some vintage finds on my outing. Anywhoo gearing up for another hectic work week so please enjoy the photos!

 Need to get one of these SWEET rides!

 

And would also like one of these body forms to help me put outfits together

 This would be perfect for me to take to Paris in two months!

Or maybe one of these

That's me in the mirror in my new Jeffrey Campbells!

Twilight to Midnight

Yesterday I attended the Target first Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum. It was definitely one of the most diverse outings I've been to in a while. You had everything in attendance from your hipsters, artists, costumers, parents with kids, bloggers and wanna-be video vixens. Judging from the outfits I saw yesterday you definitely need to put on your 'Saturday best' to not feel out of place. As for the museum exhibits many are still the same from when I visited years ago. What makes first Saturdays different from any other Saturday is the museum is open past its usual time of 6 pm lasting until 11 pm. There is a dj, band and/or dance group etc to entertain the massive crowd with the bar open serving beer & wine. Note no two experiences are ever the same and if you're ever in the area stop by, get your culture on and meet some new people. Oh and most importantly I forgot to mention the entrance to see all this art is free!

Below is what I wore:

Blazer: Zara  Tank top: The Limited  Skirt: American Apparel  Belt: J Crew  Shoes: Alaia  Earrings: Vintage  Watch: Michael Kors

My best friend and I plotting how to steal this bracelet What? It matched my outfit lol 

One big red house

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Memorial Day

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Memorial Day. This weekend I managed to fill up on some bbq, but Memorial Day found me at the Red Hook vendors chomping down on pupusas and plantain chips topped off with tamarind juice. I am trying hard to get in shape for summer but these pupusas will be my absolute downfall! Every time I make a visit to Red Hook, I stop here specifically at the Salvadorian truck for my favourite cheese & jalapeno. This holiday weekend was much needed as I did what I do best......took midday naps and fed my belly. 

2-for-1

My follower list is growing slowly but surely which is more motivation for me to try and post more frequently. This post is a two-for-one. This weekend I unsuccessfully drove around looking for the Red Hook Lobster Pound truck but ending up going to their home location to try out their lobster roll (you can find the truck thru their twitter feed). It was definitely worth the hunt! If you're ever in the Red Hook neighborhood and also a fan of the crustacean, check it out at 284 Van Brunt St. I assure you you're taste buds won't be disappointed! 

It seems lately I can't escape the blazers and I'm even finding myself throwing them on on Saturdays to run my errands.

 

Blazer: H&M  Tank top: Gap  Cargo Pants: Uniqlo  Shoes: Alaia  Scarf: J Crew  Bag: Louis Vuitton

Corporate Ruffle

The corporate wardrobe can get a little stale so yesterday I spiced it up with a few details. The featured dress was purchased from Reiss a couple years ago, but with all the recent hype that Kate Middleton has brought to the brand I was inspired to pull it out. I paired it with a tweed blazer to add some sophistication since the collar was a bit too low for the office.

Here Comes The Sun!

The weather in New York has been stunning lately! My allergies however have been under attack. I visited Battery Park with the senator after work on Friday, which left my eye in an itchy eye fit for several hours later. I haven't done an outfit post in a long time so had to convince him to take a couple shots of me...he literally only took a couple shots. Hoping to abandon the scarf this week as we jump into some summer like weather.

Pants: Zara  Pumps: Saks Fifth Ave  On him Loafers: Bass

Brunch and Puppets Sunday

Brunch is my most favourite meal. Ever. Five Napkins Burger has been on my 'to eat at' list for over a year now and I finally got to taste what the rave above the pork taquitos were recently. Brunch with my girlfriends at the Five Napkins in the Theatre district followed by the play 'Avenue Q' was how I spent a recent Sunday. If you're a play enthusiast or if you're looking for a good laugh I think it's a play you should definitely check out. Having puppets in the play was a unique touch and added to the comedy. It is a great coming of age story as well for those recently finishing college and are unable to identify with what comes next. There is no script on how to navigate this thing called life, but the journey---as I am learning---will only help to shape you into the person you want to become.
