Finally, the official beginning of my real summer vacation...

Lombardi's Pizza @ 32 Spring Street, NYC, 10012.

So finally! My summer courses are 100% completed. I'm still waiting for my grade in Classical Philosophy, but since I got A's on both papers + I'm pretty sure I did great on the final, I'm sure it'll be something I'm satisfied with. This past weekend was relaxing, just hung around inside with boyfriend, since the heat was unbearable. Since school officially ended for me today, Sue + I decided to do some Soho roaming + grab lunch. I picked up a few things from American Apparel, LUSH + Sephora, so expect a haul within the next week. I didn't get much, but I really love what I did purchase! Afterwards, we had some trouble deciding between Lombardi's Pizza + this place called Bread. Finally, we decided on Lombardi's + I'm super glad we did. The house salad with homemade vinaigrette was delicious + the brick oven Margherita pizza has become my newfound favorite. Super delicious, we really enjoyed it. Well, that's about it for now. I hope you enjoyed reading + watching my "Favorite Products for July" vlog. Also, I posted a new look on Lookbook, so any "hypes" are greatly appreciated. Thanks much, loves + I hope you're all enjoying summer!

to film vlogs because it takes forever to import the HD videos from my camera...
I promise the next vlog will be improved quality!)

Ensalada Mancora + Lomito de Pollo.

Well, to start off with - This weather has been unbearable! The humidity is ridiculous, it is extremely uncomfortable... But you know me, I'm trying to make the absolute best of it - After all, it IS summertime. This past weekend was lovely. Boyfriend + I got to relax, eat some delicious food + watch some awesome movies. On Saturday, we did some shopping in Soho, had some Pommes Frites, then later on in the evening, we went to the movies to see Cyrus. It was a GREAT movie - Super funny + sweet, I definitely recommend it. On TV, we watched Youth in Revolt, which I enjoyed... It was a sweet movie + I love Michael Cera, then on Sunday we watched Away We Go, which is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I recommend them all. This upcoming weekend we plan on seeing Inception, so I'll let you all know how that turns out. This is the last full week of school for me, FINALLY. I've been impatiently waiting for this... So I can finally sleep in, relax + enjoy my summer. Yesterday, the girls - Iman + Sue - And I, set out nice + early to visit the Forever 21 in Times Sq. that recently opened. I picked up some things, as you can view in the haul above. We spent most of the day walking all over creation in the excruciating heat, then we finally collapsed at Mancora, a Peruvian restaurant in the Village, for lunchtime. The day was enjoyable, aside from the beaming sun that had the Earth feeling like absolute hell. So far, things have been quite enjoyable. I hope everything has been going great for all of you. Thanks for watching/reading, babydolls, XO.

PANIC ATTACK!

Boyfriend bought me a cow hat, I love it.

Brisbane Bronze - OPI.
Bronze + summertime go hand in hand.
I adore it.

Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Buttercream + Strawberry Buttercream.
CRUMBS @ 43 West 42nd Street btwn 5th + 6th Ave, NYC, 10110.

Hi, my loves. How is everybody doing? I'm doing well, just suffocating in this 93 degree humid-to-death weather. I almost freaked out a few days ago because I totally demolished my whole blog layout by accident. I panicked, but clearly - I survived and even got everything back to the way it was. Luckily! Anyways, one more week left to Classical Philosophy, I can't wait to get through it. Boyfriend is spending the weekend in New York, so I'm excited about that. I picked him up some surprise cupcakes from CRUMBS, they're his favorite. We plan on seeing a movie; possibly Inception or Cyrus. Both seem to be worth seeing. I'm really glad you all liked my previous post and I've decided that I'm going to make that type of post and my "Favorite Products of the Month" vlog a monthly ritual, so keep your eyes open for those. I was considering switching over from Vimeo to YouTube the other day, but then I realized that for most people, they still don't allow videos that are longer than 10 minutes. As we all know, my videos are usually around 10 minutes or a little longer, so that was a no-go. Anybody know how to be entitled videos longer than 10 minutes? Let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it. Anyways, this post was pretty basic, but I hope you enjoyed... I also hope everyone is enjoying the summer and things are going great for all of my lovely readers. Thanks for keeping up with my blog and I appreciate it if you "hype" my latest Lookbook look. Ciao, sweethearts.

What is it that you guys are currently into?

I guess you can consider this a bit of a wishlist, but it's really more based on
what I've been loving, admiring + lusting over this past month or so.

I'm thinking about doing this type of post maybe once every month or two,
along with a "My Favorite Products of the Month" vlog.
Should I make these types of posts a monthly (or so) routine?

Thanks for reading, babydolls.
