Hoo wee! What a trip! I was only there for 3 days, but I managed to fill up those days with fun excursions from morning to night. I slept fine, but I usually woke up with the sun. Which later I realized that I had less than 20 hours of sleep my whole trip. Needless to say, I'm still recovering.

I stayed with a friend who lives in Brooklyn. This is a view from her street. Isn't it adorable? Her neighborhood was so picturesque.

This is the view from her balcony. Most of the Brownstones in that neighborhood have the cutest little patios and gardens.

We, I mean I, might have taken too many photos at
FAO Schwarz, but what can I say, I was a little trigger happy. I wanted to do something fun and somewhat touristy when I arrived, and FAO seemed to be the perfect idea. My friend and I made a beeline for the candy in the back, loaded up on sugar and acted like little kids on a mission to have fun!

Who doesn't love full sized lego dudes and giant stuffed puppies!

I thought this was quite a strange place for this, but right outside of the store were about 25 plus people holding these signs. I thought it couldn't have been a good trip to New York without a little crazy coming out of people.

Since there was time and I was in New York, we made an appointment to go try on glasses at
Warby Parker. I've been eying them for months and months and keep meaning to do the at home try ons, but never remember to actually place the order. So, it was nice to go in and just try on all them them. I literally tried on every style. Unfortunately I wasn't thrilled with any of them once they were on. So disappointing.

I'm really not that into J. Crew, although I do like some of their clothes. We went in and I fell in love with this display of gloves covering the wall.
New York birds are CRAZY. They do not move to get out of your way.

And then it was time for the Stationery Show! I couldn't really take photos, and have way to much to say about it, so that post will be coming at a later date!

I did ask to take a photograph at
Wiley Valentine's booth. Most booths had candy, but who couldn't resist a candy BAR?

Stay tuned for more about my trip!
