9/11 Memorial

A stop we had to make while in NYC was to the 9/11 Memorial. It was a solemn visit, full of people paying respect, and something we really wanted to see. The footprints of the towers had me in awe, the amount of people who were there was powerful. And seeing all the names listed was surreal. I am so glad that the memory of that day has not been forgotten and that there is a place to remember.

South Tower.

North Tower.

Never Forget.

I Love NY

New York is such an amazing city. My 5 days there a few weeks back were such a whirlwind of activity, sites, and subway rides, and I can not wait to return. Numerous blog posts/recaps will not do this awesome trip justice, so here are a few highlights from my trip!

I traveled with my mom. It was such a great time to bond and just have a girls' trip.

One of the Macy's windows ready for Christmas.

We took the subway daily. It's just so efficient and seamless. I liked being able to hop on and get to where I needed to be in a few minutes. Also really liked the mosaic tiles that spelled out the names of the subway stops. So cool.

Saturday morning on the High Line Park. Such a cool escape while in the city.

We were in NYC for Unique NYC. Here was my table :)

Times Square was so bright. We mingled with so many tourists and had such a fun time looking at all of the ads and lights.

Rockefeller Center is massive. The Christmas tree was in the middle of being assembled. Hope to visit for a future holiday when it's lit up.

I love how festive the city was.

We stayed in a wonderful place in the West Village through Air Bnb. It was so cool to be in a neighborhood away from the tourists hustle and feel like one of the locals. There were so many small restaurants, shops, and bakeries to explore. The 5 floors we had to walk up were a bit intense, though ;)

I will definitely miss walking down streets that look like this daily.

Hoping to be able to visit NYC again next year :)

Heart NY

Since I will be in NY for a show, I wanted to create a little something special for NY shoppers. Something personalized and exclusively available for the show, something that would give back to the NY community, something full of love.

These little brass hearts are stamped with "n" and "y" and come as a pair of rings and earrings. Special and personal, half of proceeds of these pieces will be donated to the Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief.

Hoping the NY crowd loves these!

Be on the look our for more personalized pieces for LA & SF.

Holiday! Celebrate!

It is about 85 degrees here in LA, but my mind is dreaming of the holidays. Our show schedule is set and honey my heart will be making trips to New York and San Francisco, as well as rockin' it out in LA. If you are in any of these cities, hope you can make it :)
