I took a very spur of the moment trip to NYC this weekend. It may have been a dumb decision, since my first student loan payments are due in a few weeks. ($500+, if you are in high school or college, do whatever you have to do to get grants and scholarships! You’ll be thankful in the years to come!) Oh well. You only live once.

I go to NYC every other month or so, and I never want to look like a tourist. I never take pics of the things you see on tv, because I’m getting used to seeing them. But this time, I figured I would look like all of the random people walking around at a glacial pace with huge paparrazi cameras around their necks. There are many of you who have never been to NYC! So, at my expense, take a look at my (hopeful) future home, NYC.


Puerto Rican Day Parade! It hadn’t started yet in this picture, but people were lining up. It was really inspirational to see a group of people so proud of their heritage.

The window display at Chanel

Are you a sophisticated lady? Well, Chanel has some ideas of just what will keep you smiling during the hot Summer months!!! Click the image to see a larger view.

Inside the infamous Magnolia Bakery. This one was outside of Rockefeller Center. I love the location in the Village most.

I walked past these dresses at Saks on 5th Ave (the real Saks Fifth Ave!!!) 4 or 5 times, just to admire them. I took pictures, because they were breathtaking.

Oscar De La Renta

The Angel Sanchez above? Wow. It was stunning. If I have an evening wedding, locs in a high, neat bun, and wanted a sultry, sexy look, I’d have to have this dress. No doubt about it. My makeup would be a clean face with a deep crimson lip. *squeal*

Back View of the Vera Wang
This Vera Wang was my all time favorite! I’ve always dreamed of a strapless wedding gown, either sleek and simple or large and robust. When I saw the Wang garment, I screamed. That was my only reaction. It was SO beautiful. Click the image to see a larger version. Be careful, your heart may skip a beat!!!

There’s so much more to come, be on the lookout!! I’m working on a Natural Hair FAQ video, as well as a dedication to Make Up For Ever and Becca, plus I’m continuing my celebrity makeup tutorial series! The fun never ends at Scandalous Beauty!!!

  • A Little About Me…

    i accidentally stumbled across your blog when i was searching for reviews on crown brushes.

    i am very glad you took pictures of ny to remember for yourself. besides, just what you said…"you only live once." who cares if you look like a tourist. lol

    i moved to ny from california and even though i live here now, i still take pictures like a tourist too. haha. i love it here and there is things constantly happening.

    hopefully you'll be able to move here one day since it seems to be your aim. it's definitely worth it in my opinion. =)

    Your new blogger buddy.

    Are you saying your school loans are $500+ a month?? Girl, unless you are trying to pay them off as soon as you can, I'd look into a different payment plan. I'm sure I have more loans than you and I pay $108 a month.

    That Angel Sanchez dress is every single thing!
