finishing what i started

After posting the Coach project last week, I thought I’d share a few of the other pics taken that day.
If your a foodie too and know the lower east side, you’ll recognize this white tiled restaurant (which serves THE best sticky toffee pudding evahhh). After the pics, we went inside to get some. The whole dessert thing for me started from growing up on sponge cake and custard.
Anyone else have a sweet tooth? I feel like I’ve asked this question before.

    ARG!

    Your hat is GORGEOUS – what a stunning shade of grey, seriously.

    I’m going to COACHELLA (YAY) in three weeks and I’m in need of a good ray-blocker for my head. That hat would do in a pinch!

    PS my sweet and salty teeth alternate – thank goodness for Chocolate with Sea Salt, which I’m nibbling on right now

    I love this whole entire outfit; the skull dress and turquiose clutch are to die for!

    And oh yeah I have a major sweet tooth, I’ve even taken to drowning my cereal in chocolate milk every morning for breakfast haha.

    I love that skull dress. Super cute and looks fab with the white blazer. Of course I have a sweet tooth and right now I have been indulging in thin mints from the Girl Scouts! xo

    I LOVE Trash & Vaudeville. I got the best corset top there a few years ago that is black and white lace with these subtle spiderwebs on it!

    I’m completely obsessed with you sweater. I think this weekend I’m going to buy a sweatshirt from Target and commit myself to a little DIY skull project. My ultimate sweet tooth weakness – Red Vines, Haribu Gummi Bears, and KEY LIME PIE!!!

    Aaahhhh the LES. Once upon a time, I reigned as the weeknight queen. Thank god those days are over! Now I can grow up to be a “serious person.” Kidding.

    Schiller’s. You know, I actually don’t like their food very much. I much prefer Balthazar.

    The first shot is my favorite: smooth criminal.

  15. The Sound of Lace says:

    Any place called the “Liquor Bar”, I’m there! If it’s desserts-only then I’ll pass. I don’t really have a sweet tooth. Eep!

    Hello,

    Not too long since I discovered your blog, and since each day I just take a look, you are beautiful and very photogenic.
    You wear all your clothes very well and was really a pleasure to see what you wear every day.

    Your style is impeccable, really. I love that jacket, and everything ties in so well with the bag. And your boots! Don’t even get me started on how much I want a a pair like that. I’m broke though, so I can’t.

    there is no beating young british style. Maybe im bias, but it is just so fun.

    Keep up the good work XX

  44. Elisa @ Globetrotting in Heels says:

    I firmly believe I have several sweet teeth 😉 ’cause I cannot resist desserts. That is the hardest thing for me to resist so I try not to visit any bakeries or patisserie when I’m on a diet.

    As Oscar Wilde said, I can resit anything but temptation 😉

  45. Susanne says:

    great combination! love the clutch & hat … I’m pretty much into cake, too … there’s this new café around the corner, they just make the perfect cheese cake (NY style …) yummy.

    Wanderlusting – yes it would or it’s warm get the summer straw versions of fedoras. They work!

    Jacquie – its not really posh though.

    Ernest B – send me a twitter message when it’s done. Wanna see.

    Caroline No. – sounds like I need to try it out?

    Armor J – got it and replied.

    Jamie – coooool. Accessories make anything look a bit better.

    Your Highess – that makes both of us biased! LOVE Brit style.

    Celine – I got the skull dress about 5 months ago ish? It may be sold out by now if its not under the Dress section.

    Herapparel – thx they are definitely one of my fave JC’s.
