Yes, day one was all about food. My friend Melinda Ring suggested a Thai place called Land that was fantastic and reasonably-priced, where I enjoyed some delicious calamari. Tim and I walked around a nearby park and climbed on rocks, as well as browsed a Barnes & Noble. Lastly, we went to one of my favorite New York cafes, Cafe Lalo, where I had a latte and we shared a piece of chocolate cake (which was unfortunately so yummy that we gobbled it up before I got a chance to snap a shot).

day two
(Scarf from Urban Outfitters, Thrifted shirt and sweater, See Kim necklace, Wilson's leather bag from Crossroads Trading Company, Naomi & Lavender pants, Topshop shoes)
The most comfortable socially-acceptable pants are back in style, and my legs are finally able to breathe. I picked this pair up at the Farmer's Market at the Grove in LA, and I've been adoring their perfect fit. In combination with the softest scarf in the world, I felt like I was wearing pajamas.
My leather bag shown here was a by-chance find at the Crossroads in Studio City, and it's a perfectly sturdy, sizable tote. I don't have a close-up of it here, but the detailing of the metal in the strap is both lovely and functional for adjusting the strap whenever I wish.
I really want to shout-out See Kim, an incredible brand that I discovered thanks to Blossom Vintage. Owned by designer Christine Kim, the jewelry is simplicity but abstraction. In other words, it's not like anything I'd ever seen before, but the designs compliment everything. I'm adoring this necklace because of the subtle blue coloring of the beads combined with the interesting shape of the metal stretch. I've found that the piece is extremely versatile, for I can wear it with both low-cut and high-cut dresses and shirts.

day three
(Vintage blazer from Blossom Vintage, Thrifted red sweater, Free People necklace, Urban Outfitters dress, miscellaneous tights, Nine West socks, Topshop shoes)
This blazer, which I acquired from Blossom Vintage's etsy shop, is everything I could want in a vintage piece, It has a hint of color, is extremely oversized, keeps me warm but not too warm, and can be easily layered. It's slightly itchy, but that's easily solved by a light sweater underneath. I mainly like to wear this blazer with simply dresses and a statement piece of jewelry so that the coat becomes the real center of the ensemble. When I saw St. Vincent perform at the Grammy Museum, I wore practically this same combination of pieces. I get a little bit of a preppy feel from this outfit as well. Make fun of me if you wish, but I sort of felt like a college student.
