My NYC Hotel Stay...(Via Made By Girl)

NYC has been amazing, minus the weather.  It was raining most of the time - so I didn't get as much done as I was hoping!  I also missed the last two days of Blogfest!!  I know....but I ended up doing other things that were quite beneficial business-wise, so it all worked out nicely in the end! 


Either way, I got to meet some nice people at Blogfest and saw several old school friends as well as family. One of the best parts of my trip was definitely the hotel room.  The internet connection was a bit crappy.....up & down the whole time - but at least I got my money back for the internet room charge.  


As promised, here are pictures of the room at the Royalton.

 


The service at the hotel was spectacular - they were always attentive & helpful - especially the door guy who helped with my bags & tried to hail a cab for 20 minutes! CRAZY.... 



















I ABSOLUTELY loved that the room was high up on the 14th floor & faced 44th street (front of building). 


And get this....it had a LARGE balcony with original wrought iron railings, gorgeous arches & columns!  


If you ever stay at the Royalton ask to stay in ROOM 1417 as it's the only standard room with this feature. I'll post several more pictures of my trip, including a tour of the Kate Spade store- which is sooo pretty for those who haven't visited the SOHO location!  

I'll be heading home Friday evening & I'm already feeling sad. I miss NYC, my friends, family and all the different varieties of food you find here. I'm really thinking about coming here every 6 months....hmmmm


Are you from NYC?? Do you love it? Have you had enough? Never been but want to visit?!??

My Search For the Perfect Heels... (Via Made By Girl)

I'll be attending BlogFest 2011 in NYC this May 16-18 & I'm really excited! Anyone else going?? 

Of course with TRAVEL comes planning my outfits.... and to tell you the TRUTH, I'm going insane trying to find the PERFECT heels!  I would've taken pictures of my outfits but I'm having two of them altered at the tailor.  

So, I'm on the HUNT for some interesting heels, something fun that will go with an all black (above the knee) dress and a gray (above the knee) dress!  Of COURSE they should be relatively comfortable too....but rarely do amazing and comfort go hand-in-hand when it comes to shoes in my experience!  

So far I've looked at ShopStyle (one of my favorite resources) but just don't have the time to go through 1372 pages of shoes they have listed! I think I got through 100 pages.....exhausting!  


Another dilemma, why are all the heels I REALLY like over $500? Hmmm   








So, my question to you is, what are your favorite resources for heels & pumps?
