It was the perfect day...

So today was pretty amazing...
I was on my way to a doctors/ dentist appointment =(. ----Luckily, today was opening day for the Yankees which = too much traffic!! This of course forced us to cancel both appointments =). We didn'twant to waste such a perfect day sitting inside! The sun was shining bright and the temperature was rising.... soo it only made sense to spend the day in the city =). It worked out well for the both of us. I had some things to take care of at school, and my Mom has been ranting and raving about this nail place right near campus that she swears by. I have to say I was quite impressed, my Mom knows how to pick 'em! (I guess that's where I get my fab. taste from...) We both enjoyed a nice relaxing manicure and I even decided to shy away from my dark black satin/ wicked phase. I went with a bright red called JELLY APPLE! It's more like a candy apple red but I felt like a new woman right after. (I love the effect a fresh mani has on me!) We did some shopping downtown near school and we came across a really cute boutique called "Purdy Girl". I knew it was gonna be good because right outside they had a rack marked 75% off with tons of cute maxi dresses for the summer in bright shades and super cute patterns. I of course fell in love as soon I set foot inside, it was kind of small but they had the most darling tops, dresses, bags, and accessories! We spent a good hour browsing the racks and trying on lots of big rings and pretty bangles. I got my first pair of aviators =) a bright blue spaghetti strap sundress, and a bright yellow sleeveless flowy top with cute little pockets on the sides. I can't wait for the warmer weather to get here and actually stay for a while so I can wear them! In between shopping and nails, we stopped for a bite to eat at a little place on Bleecker St. and on our way home made a quick stop at Magnolia for my fav. red velvet cupcakes.

The best part of today was actually spending it with my Mom. She is truly my best friend. I'm sooooooooo lucky to have someone so loving and true in my life. She supports my every move, and continues to inspire me daily to make my dreams come true. Our long walks in the park talking about life... and sharing some fabulous red velvet cupcakes together? Those moments are not only precious...they are priceless.
