{taking on} nyc


we recently got the opportunity to spend a day in new york city with some good friends. from the perspective of two teenage girls from the country, the city is a big and bustling world, full off heavenly (and sometimes downright creepy) smells, sounds, and sights.


 
 
our one must-see stop was the famous shareen vintage. hidden on a back street in the heart of a city, this gem of a shop doesn't even have a sign, just a red gown hanging from a walk-up. but what we found inside was a wonderland of vintage dresses, just waiting for us to come and try them on. we played dress-up, made friends with the wonderful shopgirls, and even made a purchase or two!
 
 
 
 

 
 
and, of course, we rode the giant ferris wheel at the one and only times square toys "r" us. we got the barbie car. it was amazing.
 
 

 
we ended the day with a stroll through times square and a few stops for some famous hot dogs, soft pretzels, and new york style pizza.
 
 
 

 
 


new york, we love you. we hope to see you again soon. xoxo.

  2. Goodness, you really have me wanting to visit that vintage shop now! It looks fabulous. Oh, and you rode the Barbie car? Y'all are so cool. ;) Seriously, that's really neat that they have a ferris wheel in the Toys "R" Us. They should have those in all Toys "R" Us stores. ;)
