New York City Trip

adventure

The Big Apple

New York is the city of dreams; the place where everything can come true, or so that's what I have been told. I visited New York City a while back and I was going through some photos and thought I would show you guys some highlights of my trip. I was gone for a five days in May and stayed at a hotel in Manhattan. My first night was like a dream, I had never seen so many people scrunched into one city. The largest city I had ever walked around in was Toronto, so this blew my mind to say the least. The hustle and bustle of NYC isn't something that you can fully understand if you haven't been there, you have to experience it.


After sunset we rode the elevator up to the top of the Rockefeller Centre and gazed on the city far below. When you are up so high looking down on the Big Apple your breath is taken away. Photos do not do the view justice, it just reminds me how small our world really is.




The next morning we got up early and visited some different churches.
The one above is St Patricks Cathedral. 
Like every tourist we went and saw the Statue of Liberty.



We also took a lovely stroll through Strawberry Fields, and into Central Park.




Visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an entire day.


And finally I had to fulfil my childhood dream of going to Nintendo World to see the Legend of Zelda Collection. I also met a giant Pikachu!


 Going to New York City was my favourite trip I have ever taken. It exceeded my expectations, and I would visit The Big Apple again in a heart beat. If there is a place in the world pulling on your heart then my advice is to save up and go see it. No matter the city or cost. If you want to travel then do it. Honestly you won't regret it. Until my next post, have a pleasant day and safe travels!





Urban Decay Naked Two Palette Swatches

beauty


Looking for a new eyeshadow palette to try out? Well if you have never tried out an Urban Decay Naked Palette then you have been deprived. Today I  thought I would quickly review and swatch an old gem for you, The Naked Two palette by Urban Decay.
                   ------------------------------------------------------------------

The Naked Two Palette is the second eyeshadow palette of three. This palette is unique from the other two in the sense that it is mainly a bronze and copper palette. There are both matte and shimmer shadows, all of which have a velvety/creamy texture. This palette also comes with a good quality duel ended shadow and crease brush. 


This palette for me is the best out of the three because all the colours look good with any skin type. Another reason why this is my go to palette is the packaging. That may sound weird but in all honesty the palettes packaging is very durable. Its a tin like hard plastic and it snaps closed. When your traveling you don't have to worry about it coming open in your suitcase and getting everywhere. Finally the absolute main reason why I love this palette so much is the wearability of all twelve shadows. The lightest colours act as natural looking shadows, while the darkest shades can be used for dramatic and glamorous looks. If you want a wearable neutral coloured eyeshadow palette then I will always say choose the Naked Two Palette. If your interested then you can look at Sephora or on the Urban Decay website; the palette runs about 50-60 dollars Canadian. Good luck shopping ladies!

                                   ---------- Outfit ----------

This outfit is perfect for anyone living in a colder climate for Valentines Day. I made sure to have a warm and comfortable outfit because in the winter time all we really want to do is drown in warm fuzzy blankets. I paired a cute pink patterned dress from Ardene with a tan trench coat from Suzy Shier. Finally I threw on some black knee high socks and my brown riding boots from Call it Spring. This look is put together and fashionable without being uncomfortable. Whatever errand, date or event you have on Valentines day you will be stylish and comfortable.

 I hope this blog post was helpful in someway if you were looking for a fashionable outfit.
Fashion are trends. Style is yours, so add your own twist to this outfit. Have fun and be creative. I hope you all have a great Valentines Day or Date Night!
