Day Six: Lace & Sunsets

Friday, August 14, 2015

This will be my final full-day post from my trip to New York as I don't have outfit photos for the other days (explained in my previous post). Day six was absolutely amazing. The first thing I did when I woke up was attend my first ever Sephora beauty makeover. It was free because I reached VIB status. I was very excited, and Terry, the makeup artist at Sephora in SoHo was amazing and super friendly. I loved everything she did from my brows to the cat-eye to my lips. I do have to admit, the contour was darker than I normally opt for, but I really think it made the look come together. I never really put on a heavy full face of makeup anyway.
Since I knew I was getting my makeup done, I wanted to be a little more dressy, so I paired a lacey For Love & Lemons crop top with my black H&M skater skirt and my Steve Madden sandals.
It was a very light and breathable outfit for a hot day.

After getting my makeup done, my boyfriend met me in SoHo and we went for afternoon tea at Ladurée (I will be making a separate post about this, so stay tuned!) I have to admit, it wasn't really "afternoon tea" because we didn't order tea, lol. We had sparkling lime water instead. It was muggy-hot, but not too humid in the city, so we couldn't bear the thought of sipping on a hot beverage.
The next thing we did was visit Central Park (yes, for the second time), but this time it was to visit the zoo. I'm not going to post all the pictures of the animals I took because they aren't that nice, but the zoo was pretty impressive. I thought it was cool because it was actually a part of Central Park, and we got to see a live-feeding of sea lions. All the animals were so cute!
Afterwards, we did the last bit of shopping and browsing around SoHo and ended up walking the Brooklyn Bridge and the DUMBO area. I have always wanted to see DUMBO because the views from photos I've seen looked incredible. The sun was setting as we got there, and it lit up the sky so nicely. The views were breathtaking.

This weekend I'm hoping to write some blog posts of the restaurants and cafes we explored in New York, along with some lifestyle-themed posts, so stay posted! :)
