Summer Adventures: Soho

Hey everyone! I feel like I do so many of these posts but here is another one of my adventures. My friend Genevieve ( http://www.genevievekellynyc.com/ ) and I went around Soho for the day. We went out to eat and then wandered around for awhile. It was a such a fun day and I thought I would share it with the world wide web.

So a few weeks ago I dyed my hair blue. But my hair became so unhealthy and I couldn't brush through it so I cut my hair six inches. Also because of Summer I wanted my hair short and easy to take care of.

Gen and I went to this cafe in Greenwich Village called Chalait. It had a limited menu but everything they had was really good. They have lattes and coffees that have matcha ( I believe it's Japanese green tea) and makes the drink green. The latte was an interesting color but it tasted way better than I expected it too.

Okay, this ice cream looks super weird but trust me it tastes so good. There is a truck called Play J's Ice Cream and it goes around Soho and East Village with these amazing ice cream cones.

Soho is filled with very cool street in the most random of places. This is one of my favorite things about Soho. There are so many stores but in between you'll see little messages done by people.

Genevieve takes some really cool pictures on her blog. She took some pictures of me and I think they came out pretty cool.

I hope you like this post. Don't forget to leave a comment.

QOTD: How is your Summer going? What do you plan to do or have already done?

OOTD- 6.23.15

Hey everyone! So from June 17 to the 24 I was in California. The weather was beautiful and I spent my time in San Francisco and Los Angeles. I most definitely have a bunch of posts coming about my trip. On June 23, I was in Malibu to celebrate a late Father's Day with my family and family friend. We went for Asian Fusion food at Nobu, Malibu. This post has some pictures of Nobu and my outfit.

I am a huge fan of Japanese food so going to Nobu was really nice. My drink was watermelon juice because I thought it was a pretty color and it was so delicious.

The restaurant was on the beach in Malibu. We didn't sit at this table but it looked so nice and I really wanted too. The whole time you could hear the waves while you eat.

My outfit:

Flower Black Croptop (underneath crocheted top) - American Apparel

Crocheted Shirt - Hollister 

Patterned Pants - Brandy Melville 

5inch wedged sandals - Forever 21

White Bracelet - Kate Spade 

Gold Feather Bracelet - Alex&Ani

I love taking pictures on the beach. Being in California makes me want to learn how to surf and paddle board. The ocean was so pretty.

I posted this picture to instagram (you can follow me here // I'm on private but I accept everyone).

I hope you liked this post.
Should I do more OOTDs?
Comment what your plans for the Summer are?

My Month in Photos *May Edition*

Hey everyone! So it's finals week for me  *cries* and I have four more finals this week. But, since I only updated twice this month I wanted to end off the month with some of my adventures. I finish school on June 9 and so after that I can post as much as I can. This month has had quite a few events and I took a lot of pictures. So here is my month in pictures...

After our badminton match, two of my friends and I got ice cream.

My Birthday

Birthday Selfie at a Japanese Restaurant in the Lower East Side.

Sashimi Tuna and Sushi was my birthday dinner.

May 9, 2015

 

I celebrated my birthday with some of my friends at a restaurant called Serafina in Meatpacking District, Manhattan.

There was a Chanel Perfume Exhibit in Chelsea, Manhattan that was open for 10 days. My friends and I went to it.

It was a big room with a hallway to walk into that had an interactive screen about the history of Coco Chanel and her fragrances. There was a huge white wall so my friends and I took pictures in front of it for an aesthetic. The exhibit also had a postcard making station and you could stamp the Chanel symbol and decorate the cards and then they would get sent to anywhere in the world you wanted it too. I sent a postcard to my cousin in Switzerland.

Next, my friends and I got ice cream in Chelsea Market. There was a pop up store there that let you draw all over the walls in marker. Here is a picture of a cute drawing I saw:

If you ever walking on the Highline, if you pay attention you can find this street art on the building. I almost walked past it.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

If you have read the news recently then I am sure you have heard of the MET gala. The gala is once a year and a lot of celebrities such as Emma Roberts, Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and so many others come to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the newest fashion exhibit. This year it was for the fashion exhibit called China: Through the Looking Glass. The ancient China exhibit right now is filled with Chinese inspired dresses made by Dior and Chanel all the way to designers in China.

This is one of my favorite dresses because it's so beautiful. This is located in a room with Buddha statues around it.

This screen showed scenes from Chinese history such as soldiers, celebrations, and local life.

This dress along with five other dresses were made of porcelain.

This is one of the entries to the exhibit and it is filled with lights and inside are mannequins dressed in all black robes.

Here is my outfit for my friend's birthday party.

These glasses were filled with pink punch and I thought it was super cute that there was strawberries on top.

Museum of Natural History

The picture reminded me of a castle I saw when I was in England.

The Museum of Natural History have exhibits filled with taxidermy and recreated animals. I love looking at animals so I thought these were cool.

I thought these houses in the Upper West side were super pretty.

overpriced ice cream :( but it was still so good.

This art piece is made by a street artist named Banksy and he goes all over the world painting on buildings and poles. Somebody put glass over the work so nobody can destroy it.

May 24, 2015

For Memorial Day Weekend I went out to Long Island to visit my grandmother.

It was still too cold to go in the pool but the view was beautiful. My cousin and I walked along the beach and the empty roads in this part of Long Island.

My dog, Bosco, loves it out in Long Island.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

It was my class' last Art History class, so my teacher took us to the roof of the Met.

The beautiful view of Central Park and Manhattan.

May 28, 2015

I don't why I chose this face but that was my last day of classes.

I really hoped you guys liked this post. 
Tell me what your favorite pictures were and what happened this month for you.
I will talk to you all after finals.

It's my 2 year blog anniversary!

Hey everyone! On May 3, 2013 I decided to make a fashion blog. When I created the blog I didn't think that I would ever get views, comments, or followers. Two years later I have about 100 followers, 20,000 views, and I have made so many friends. Having a blog helped me in my last two years of Middle School because it let me have an outlet to talk to the world. If I didn't have this blog, I wouldn't have something that defines me. I have so many posts planned for the Summer, and I promise I will be more interactive with the blog. Thank you for making This Fashion Girl hit 20,000 views and making me very happy. I love you all so much. Hopefully many more years of my blog.

My Spring Wishlist

Hey everyone! I am officially on Spring break. Last week, I was away on a school trip in Texas (maybe a post on that soon?).  This week I get to sleep in, blog, go on tumblr, and go to badminton practice. It's good to be back on the blog.

Spring is here! It might feel like winter still, especially here in New York, but as of March 21 it is officially Spring. My friend Guilianna did a Spring Wishlist post that was posted yesterday, and I loved the idea so I wrote my own.

1.  High Heeled Sandals// Strappy Leather Sandals

I absolutely love these shoes. When I was in Texas, my friend bought these shoes and I spent the night running around the hotel in them. They are five inches and very easy to walk in. My height is 5'2 (157.5cm), so I am not the tallest person and heels let me look people in the eye better.  I have been a huge fan of heels for a long time, and now since I am almost fifteen I want to try adding heels to my style.

2.  Sports Bras// Lululemon Free to Be Sports Bra

 
Lululemon is not the cheapest of places to get sportswear, but if you want to splurge on quality clothes it is a good place to go. I went to Lululemon yesterday to just look around and I fell in love with this sports bra. The back makes it super cute and you could wear it under a muscle t-shirt or just by itself with shorts.

3.  Triangle Bathing Suit// Chloe-Miami Mint

If you have been reading my blog for awhile then you know I really want a triangl bikini. These bikinis are expensive but again I would want to save up for one. I think they are very pretty and I have seen them on many celebrities such as Gigi Hadid. I think having a nice bikini in Spring would give me motivation to become more comfortable in a bikini (get that bikini body summer 2k15!).

4. Pink Lipstick// Mac Lipstick Flat Out Fabulous

Spring is filed with bright colors and it's always fun to try out new colors. The Mac color Flat Out Fabulous is a nice pop of color. This lipstick isn't too dark so it will go with blacks, whites, or any colors.

5. Body Lotions, Mists, and Perfumes// VS Pink Beauty Shop

My skin has been very dry lately, so I have been looking into lotions that smell good and make me want to put it on. I love PINK perfumes and lotions because they smell great and aren't that expensive. This year, I really want to get the Summer collection because I have heard so many great reviews on it.

6. Simple Gray/Black Dress// Brandy Melville Janelle Dress

(I couldn't find a good picture. Click the link if you want to see the dress)

Last year, I wasn't very fond of the style of Brandy Melville dresses. I, personally didn't like the style because the dresses were meant for people who are not my height. I own the Jada dress and it looks okay on me. But, the t-shirt dresses look better on different people (not me).  The dress I want is made of a sweater material and would look good with heels or sandals.



 8. Books

I love reading books. It is a great way to pass time on the train or in the car. My favorite books are The Book Thief, Looking for Alaska,  If I Stay, and Papertowns. Books improve your writing and thinking and are a great way to escape the world. I just want more books to read for the Summer, so hopefully I will get that in the Spring.

Hey everyone!  I just wanted to say that I am so glad that people read my blog. Every time I get a comment it makes me smile. Having a blog has helped me meet so many people from around the world. Even though I don't update as much as I should, I am so thankful for everyone. Ever since I created this blog almost two years ago, people have criticized and made fun of my blog. But I really love blogging and I don't see a day that I will stop. I don't say thank you as much as I should, so thank you. xx


Comment what is on your Spring wishlist :)
