Top - H&M, Clear Clutch - New Look, Sandals - Primark Nails - Essie (Blanc) Yep, I know what you’re thinking. ‘Lydia, you went all this way to New York & you’ve took pictures sat in your hotel room’. Ha. The thing is, when you’re wandering round NY the last thing on your mind is posing.. There’s just way too much to look at! The last collage includes some of what I got up to in this outfit. It kind of looks like the postcard I would have sent you all if I could have. Ha.  The top/dress I'm wearing proved to be quite a hit with the Americans. Most of them found it rather amusing to ask me 'do you play baseball?'. Evidently, it is pretty obvious that I don't look like the sort that plays baseball. My hand/eye coordination is basically non existent.. However, my head is apparently a magnet for footballs/rounders balls/tennis balls. You name it, it's nearly knocked me out.  Irrelevant stories are kind of my trademark right?! Not ...

Going to New York obviously meant I had to do some shopping. As Boohoo provided spending money for the hol (yep, they are the bestest ever) I could use the pennies I'd saved up myself for treats. Other than the odd 'I LOVE NY' tee, I didn't buy any clothes. Do I need any more clothes?! No. Instead I went a bit crayyyzy for American beauty products. Sephora is like my dream. Make Up Forever had me wanting to spend mega bucks but I managed to just stick to a couple of products. As it seems like there’s a Victoria’s Secret on almost every street in New York, I had to get myself to some fancy undies. They are nicer than cheapo ones aren’t they?! I got the body spritz stuff too in the hope that it would suddenly morph me into a VS angel. I’m still waiting for that to happen. My biggest treat of the hol was my little Tiffany bracelet. I’ve never really been bothered about Tiffany jewellery but after going the big shop that all changed. I decided th...

Now, I’m not really sure how I’m going to tell you all how amazing New York was. After a week in the big city (and me boring you all to death about it on Twitter/Instagram) I am back in the country, reminiscing about the bestest trip ever.   Today’s pictures are just some random snaps that I thought some of you might like a nosey at. I've got loads more that I want to show you (2500 ish.. eeek I better get cutting down!). I’m going to be posting them in little chunks to avoid a huge picture heavy post.. maybe outfits, purchases & other random NY related bits & bobs?! Don’t worry, I’ll spread them all out so you don't find it completely mind-numbingly boring! My lovely mamma came along with me & I couldn’t have asked for a better travel buddy. I’m not at all ashamed to admit that she’s my bestie, and she definitely deserves a treat. We wouldn’t have been able to afford a week in Skegvegas, so a holiday of a lifetime to New York is beyon...
