Drinking and Shopping




The Smithsonian American Art Museum



African Culture Festival, Downtown DC

New purchases - Coat 'H&M', iPhone Cover 'Free People'

Topshop, almost ready for the grand opening!


Hey :-)
So I've been enjoying the nightlife in DC which is pretty cool, it's not as crazy as New York, but I've come across some real gems! My favorite so far has been 'Madams Organ' situated in the neighborhood of 'Adams Morgan'....get it?! It's interior is a melting pot of random ornaments and junk yard memorabilia, also there's a lot of taxidermy (note the leaping cat in the second photo!) 
Adams Morgan is my favorite area so far, every bar seems to have lots of live music going on, ranging from jazz bands to rock and folk music,

I got to do a spot of shopping too for the fall, as most of the clothes I packed seem to be for the summer!
I bought myself a pale pink jacket from H&M, also while I was in NYC I bought a phone case from people people, which is also pink for some reason, I don't know why!!

I then went on a wander around the Smithsonian American art museum, which has really cool stained glass windows, while I was heading back to the train station, I stumbled upon the African Culture festival, selling some amazing clothes, jewelry and food, unfortunately I didn't buy anything, as I'm saving for rent on a new apartment! But it was nice to 'window shop' anyway!

Only one 26days till my new store opens, can't wait to get in there and make it look pretty, I'm so excited to get back to styling again, it's been a while!

The one when the parents came to stay




The sky view at Wall Street


Classic American shopping at American Icon, Soho



Family time

Pancakes!


Hey :-)
My parents came to NYC on their jollies, so I got to spend some quality time with them before I move to DC!
We mainly ate and drank, a lot! But I'm not complaining :-) We did a spot of shopping down the lower east side of Manhattan and Soho, which has the coolest stores, 
I also experienced a real brunch at Sarabeths, opposite Central Park, it was amazing and I didn't realise that you're supposed to have alcohol with your food, which makes it even better.....oh hello prosecco! 
Oh and of course, blueberry pancakes!! Yuuuuum!

I'm off to Washington DC now, let's see what the countries capital city has to offer....
Bye x
