NYC

I just returned from a trip to NYC.  I have never been at Christmas before, and while it was crowded and cold, it was also really fun. 

 These are from the 9/11 memorial.  There are 2 pools for the towers, plus 2 buildings that are still unfinished.  It was sad to see all of the names, especially the names of women "and her unborn child".

We did many other things as well, including visiting the natural history museum.  It had a lot of cool exhibits,  including a planetarium, dinosaurs and spiders (which are more gross than cool)

Glitter

I used to not be into jewelry at all.  Largely, I think, because the cheap stuff makes me itch--literally.  I was just into clothes.  Then, I got into home decor too.  And, now, unfortunately, I am also obsessed with jewelry.  I should have picked a profession with a higher salary.   

I bought both of these from J.Crew.  The giraffe was on sale when I discovered him,  but they just added the zebra recently.  I love them because they are safari animals but they are also sparkly and cute (albeit heavy).

I have been stalking this bracelet since August I think.  I was waiting for it to go on sale but I caved when J.Crew had a 25% off and free shipping sale.  I love it.

I have also been stalking this top.  (From--where else--J.Crew.  I keep them in business).  They put it on sale so I got it.  I will probably wear it twice a year but it is so sparkly and cute.  Clearly I am into bling right now.  If only I had a cheaper hobby...
