I’m Back // Liebster Blog Award

November 6th, 2013 | Posted in Blog, Personal by Meli

Hi everyone!!! I’m back from our adventures in the UK/Ireland and although I am semi-depressed to be back home and faced with reality, I am glad to be back to my regular routine, which includes blogging! Hope you didn’t miss me too much!

The best thing to get home to is a sweet and flattering award from a fellow blogger. I received the Liebster Blog Award from OmniVogue earlier today and it kind of made my day. According to those nominated, it is an award given to bloggers by other bloggers because of their blogging coolness. Well, thank you!

 

 

Here are the questions I was asked to answer:

What I Wore: Brooklyn Bridge

September 23rd, 2013 | Posted in Fashion, Personal by Meli

Sunday was our last full day in NYC. Although it made us a little sad, we realized we had to make the best of it! We had brunch in Brooklyn at Heath Ledger’s restaurant, Five Leaves (yum!), visited the 9/11 memorial (so heavy & moving) and had dinner at the amazingly glutard-loving, Risotteria. I also got to walk the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time ever. What a view! It’s always really hard to say goodbye to this city, and this time was not any different. Miss you, NYC!

What I Wore: Brooklyn Hipster

September 19th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion, Personal by Meli

Day two brought us to the hipster-laden Brooklyn. We visited the Brooklyn Flea, Adam Yauch Park and some sweet neighborhood views. Being in the hipster capital of the world, I figured I had to play the part outfit-wise. I thought I did a good job until I noticed that my bright colors totally stuck out like a sore thumb. Damn Brooklyn, I’m too colorful for you.

What I Wore: Travel Duds

September 18th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion, Personal by Meli

I’ve decided that all clothes from Conversation Pieces are the perfect travel duds. They are soft, easy to pack and basically go with everything! This past weekend I visited New York City with my girlfriends and my wardrobe mainly consisted of pieces from the site. I can’t sing their praises enough. Both the hubs and I are headed to Europe next month and I plan on going straight to Conversation Pieces to stock up on all my last minute cold weather items.

Outfits aside, I totally need to gush about NYC and its gluten free options! I never struggled once with meals – everyone was so accommodating and understanding. I figured I would share where I ate each day so that any of my fellow glutards could follow in my footsteps if they visited the Big Apple themselves. On our first day, I had a great dinner at Bistango including gluten free garlic bread (!!!), delicious wine options and seafood pasta. My tummy was so happy. So happy in fact, that the meal carried me through the rest of the evening (complete with 90′s dance party). Success!
