My Two-Day Trip to DC

I have on my Dora the Explorer hat! LOL. Some friends and I decided to head to Washington D.C. this past weekend because we've never been. I know so sad. We did a lot of sightseeing and visiting all our nations monuments and museums. Fun Times. Indulged in the great food in the city, and partied our booties off. Literally.



This Fool lol I ♥ this picture though



DC is a wonderful, quaint, cultural city. And I fell in love ♥. To make sure I was keeping up with the fashionistas in the stylish city I had to pull out my favorite dresses. I purchased from Jen's Fashion Plus. The black/brown/tan combo I had to have after seeing one of my favorite bloggers Mia from Diary of a Fatshionista rocking. I paired it with my favorite red vintage necklace and snakeskin pumps from torrid.



And for the last night I had to rock out with something fierce! I love this ruffle grey and black zipper dress. Jen's has the best selection of dresses whether your going out for a night on the town with your girls or a romantic dinner with your boo. This outfit I rocked with a sequin-y necklace and my Chinese Laundry booties.



How was everyone's weekend??

Spring 2010

Yesterday, I took a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art near Central Park. As busy of a life we live sometimes we don't know what's right in our backyard. It was my first visit! Something I plan on trying out every weekend. Exploring my city's museums, parks, exhibits, everything. If your ever visiting New York it's definitely a must see.


About the Met
"The Metropolitan Museum of Art, known colloquially as The Met, is an art museum located on the eastern edge of Central Park, along what is known as Museum Mile in New York City, United States, North America. It has a permanent collection containing more than two million works of art, divided into nineteen curatorial departments. The main building, often referred to simply as "the Met", is one of the world's largest art galleries;"


Here are some of the pictures I captured






They also have this amazing exhibit that showcases the fashions of the American Woman from 1900 to the Present it was AMAZING! You get to the end of the exhibit and this room has this large movie screen showing all of the female actresses, singers, comedians, athletes while playing the song "American Woman" by The Guess Who's. Amazing Right? But guess what no pictures allowed bbm sad face :(.



Happy Mother's Day to all my beautiful caring women out there.

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the cloud...s of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” - Washington Irving
