Blogging live...
from the airport! My flight was delayed until after 9 (EST). Luckily I have Gossip Girl*** season 1 on DVD and internet!
I had an amazing past 2 days. I met so many fun girls. I wish I had more time to talk to each of them! Stay tuned for the complete hour by hour rundown and photos galore!
*** On Tuesday I was exploring the city on my own after my sister left and saw them filming Gossip Girl! No Chuck but I did see Blair, Serena, and Nate. They were filming a pretty juicy scene. If you would like to know what I saw then email me or leave a comment with you email. I don't want to spoil everyone!

New York part 1
Saturday I met up with J, C, and M. We went to Sugar Sweet Sunshine for cupcakes. We walked around, looking at some cute stores (and saw Blake Lively out shopping!).
(anchor I saw out shopping)
Then for dinner we went to Lombardi's Pizza (which claims to be America's first pizzeria).
Sunday my sister and I met up with her high school boyfriend in the West Village. It turns out N lives literally 3 apartments down from Carrie Bradshaw's Sex and the City apartment!
We went to brunch at Westville where I had delicious French toast. Then we got to meet N's English bull dog puppy (so cute) and walked down to the river because the weather was so nice.
(N was trying to get Olivia to look up but that didn't really work)
We said goodbye to N and Olivia and my sister and I headed to shop. We walked through Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman. We had lunch at the burger place inside Le Parker Meridien. It was packed but definitely worth the wait! (since I am a vegetarian I got the grilled cheese-yum!)
. After a late lunch and some down time in the hotel my sister and I headed to see In the Heights on Broadway. It was kind of a combination of Rent and West Side Story. Great dancing and singing. I really wanted to see Little Mermaid too but we ran out of time!
Monday we went to breakfast at Alice's Tea Cup. I think it would be so fun to have an Un-birthday party there ;) Then we headed to Lilly. The Lilly jeep was parked outside!
Yep, I forgot my cute monogrammed umbrella and had to buy this boring one. PLUS I also couldn't fit my Lilly swellies into my suitcase :(
We also stopped into Olive and Bettes (so sad they aren't selling online anymore) and Steven Alan on our way to Popover Cafe. Popovers are a family tradition for us (every Christmas morning) so we always stop in.
For dinner we met my sister's college friend S at Bianca. Afterwards we stopped for cupcakes at Tonnie's Minis. Then we went back to her apartment and met Ella the rabbit (I think I want a bunny now)!
Unfortunately C went back to Boston and J and M have class (their spring break is next week) so I probably won't see them again this trip. So glad I got to spend Saturday with them though.
**those of you coming for Martha-be prepared for rain and cold!**

Spotted: Gossip Girl edition
If you guessed that I saw a Gossip Girl star then you are correct! I haven't even been in New York 24 hours and I have had 2 celeb sightings!
My friends and I stopped into In God We Trust. The store is small and while I was browsing the racks I overheard the girl next to me talking. I thought she sounded familiar but was intent on finding something to wear to the Tuesday night meetup. The girl was trying to translate a word in Spanish. I told her "I think the word is..." and smiled so she didn't think I was some know it all eavesdropping. Well the girl was BLA*KE LIVE*LY! She smiled back and explained that she was searching for the slang version of this word (still not clear why but whatever). At this point I am thinking to myself: you and your big mouth should have stayed quiet! So then M came over with her iphone (remember-small store so she heard our convo) and we searched online (Bl*ake suggested some sites and so did her friend) but we couldn't find anything. My friends had NO CLUE who she was until later when we left and I told them. Bl*ake looked great and I couldn't believe how tall she is (rare for hollywood)! About my height, 5'10, (and I am pretty sure she wasn't wearing heels).
I am not sure if the girl at the cash register didn't recognize her or was just playing it cool but she asked Bl*ake what her name was when she was ordering something.
(oh and this was about 10 minutes after we saw Kir*sten Dun*st walk past us)
This was definitely a great way to start my weekend. Let's hope I see Blair and Chuck too ;)

Greetings from New York
Today I am seeing these girls
C, J, M (not pictured) and I all met while studying in Australia. C was one of the first Americans I met. At a barbie (yes, I attended many "barbies" and no, we did not put shrimp on the barbie!) I was sitting in the grass and this girl (C) just plopped down next to me and introduced herself. A few days later I met J (C's friend from home) and M (J's roommate). The rest is history!
I am sure we will shop, shop, shop and I am bringing Tim Tams (the best Australian cookies) so we will snack on those and pretend we are back in Melbourne ;)
One year ago today (Australia edition) I was off to the beach in sunny Melbourne with C, J and another friend!

And I'm off!
I am trying to finish up packing for New York. I am a bit worried about my NY wardrobe. All of my spring clothes are back home in Los Angeles so I am kind of limited (so if you meet me and I am wearing the same outfits Tues and Wed forgive me!). I have been babysitting like crazy so I can do some shopping. Let's hope I find some new Lilly to wear to Kappa Prep's Tuesday night meetup.
Those of you going to the show on Wednesday be sure to go here and find out how to sign up for the free bus from the show to the Lilly store after party!
I am not sure what the internet situation will be like in my hotel so I have scheduled some posts for the next week and will try to check in.
Have a great weekend!
PS- I saw TJ Maxx is now carrying Kate Spade shoes-I saw the pink seahorse sandals!

Mail time!
I saw this card and knew I had to have it as a print. Rebecca from Seaside Designs was so easy to work with. She enlarged the print so that I can frame it! Check out her blog here
And then here is the sign I won from My Flip Flopz. Susie is the best! (the colors don't look as bright in this photo but it is pink and navy heaven!). Check out her etsy store here

Is it spring break yet??
3 seems to be my magic number. Yet again I have won 3 giveaways SO I will be doing my own giveaway! Stay tuned!
I just have 1 test Wednesday night and then it is time to get ready for SPRING BREAK! On Saturday I will be going to New York with my sister. I'll see my friends, she'll see her friends. Wednesday is the big day: the rumors are true I am going to the Martha Lilly show! I thought I had already booked my flights home so I was worried I wouldn't be able to go. But I hadn't booked my flights. So I'll go to the show Wednesday and then fly to LA that night. I'll spend the next week or so relaxing at home in (hopefully) warm LA. The best of both worlds :)
