Taking these photos were a little ridiculous, as it was right on Mott Street in Chinatown, on Sunday - and needless to say there were tons of people swarming around - I think it was the most challenging one yet! We were going to brunch/lunch at my favorite Shanghainese food place (so far) in the city, Shanghai Cafe. It was as good as I'd expected, and it was also the first time I was really craving Asian food since I got back from Hong Kong after Thanksgiving!

I love this skirt so much but hadn't quite figured out another outfit with it until the other morning when I realized the blue of the sweater (and the sportier vibe of it) would be perfect to set off the color & the girly-ness of the skirt.

I spent Saturday afternoon (a surprisingly hot day, by the way) at the Met to check out the Andy Warhol exhibit with my friend Watson who'd just gotten into town from Hong Kong, so of course we had to take some photos on the steps! I actually had a soft blazer in my bag, but it was just too hot to put on. I hope we get more of this Indian Summer - Sunday and Monday have been so much chillier!

I love sweaters. When I took inventory of my closet about 6 months ago I discovered that I own about 30 of them, which is somewhat ridiculous...but there's always a different occasion, or different way to layer one, that as long as it's in good shape, I keep it. The huge heart and super soft knit on this stole my heart, and I also love that I found it in the kids section.

Fall is great because it's the perfect temperature to wear both shorts/skirts with sweaters and not be too hot or too cold, and I was happy to take advantage of that this Saturday while running a few errands in Soho and getting cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcake!

I LOVE this bag. It's my newest addition! (Mom I know you said I should be saving for jewelry...but I couldn't help it, sorry!) I love the color, the structure, the size, even the smell! (It smells like new bag. haha) I managed to scoop up the last one in this color in NYC! My lovely friends were so sweet when I was texting them photo upon photo asking them for their opinions - it was between this one, the pink version (that I link to above) and the red Alexander Wang Rockie. Ultimately I chose this one for its timeless structure and color, and the shape is more classic and I think it suits my style a little more than the Rockie, as much as I do love it!
