Vacations Kill Me

I don't know about you, but when I get back from vacation I need some serious rehab and recovery.  Vacations take a huge toll on my body.  I always go on vacation with the mindset that I will run every day, and continue to eat healthy.  Who wouldn't want to run with these beautiful views?

 The idea of a fit and healthy vacation lasts about a day.  Then I fall into the mindset of YOLO I'm on vacation!  Let me eat everything I don't normally eat at home, drink mimosas in the morning, have beers on the beach, and end the night with a bottle of wine.  This kills my body.  It slows it down, and I gain about 5lbs of water weight from all the bad food and drinking.

Vacation ... ugh!

I ♥ NYC

Oh New York!  I have to say, I really enjoyed my trip.  New York is a very unique city, with an amazing culture. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I went to New York, considering I already live in a city, Baltimore.  But Baltimore is nothing like New York.  

Everyone always says, "everything is bigger in New York", but they weren't kidding.

Each part of NYC is different from Time Square, to Brooklyn, to Manhattan.  And I know we only visited a small portion of it in our time there.  I honestly think the city is for people with ADD like me, who always needs something to do (because there is never a shortage).  The city is open 24/7.  There is never a shortage of 99 cent pizza or 75 cent bagels (all of which are awesome! - But you have to try the Artichoke Pizza).

And there is ALWAYS a chance for a photo opp where ever you go!

NYC Weekend - Trendy? or Fashion Flop?

So I'm going to NYC this weekend to visit some friends who moved up there last year annnnnnddd  I feel like I have NOTHING to wear.  I mean, I have clothes, but nothing that screams, "HEY I'M COOL!  I'M ALL NYC AND TRENDY!"  My clothes scream, "I have a ton of crap that I don't know how to match, but I some how throw it together and it looks good (most of which comes out to of the dirty laundry -- it's okay, I smell it first)".  

So, anyways, I went on Polyvore and decided to come up with what I thought looked NYC and trendy.  This is what I came up with...

I think I might have a few of these things laying around (maybe not the exact name brand, but a good knockoff).  

So, after all of my research (which was about a good hour on Pinterest and Polyvore) I have decided that anything black is the way to go.  So I will be filling my over night bag with anything that makes me look Emo.  Also, I found that the staples to any outfit are a beanie, some simple black shades, and some weird jewelry.  Also, if you find a shirt with a random word on it you are GOLDEN!  

Alright fellow bloggers...wish me luck!  I promise to post pics of my fashion fail when I return.
