Yacht Date

On the 4th of July I met a nice young fellow named Marco. He invited me on a yacht tour and really..how could I say no to a beautiful tour like this! It took us from the pier passed the Brooklyn Bridge, back towards the Statue of Liberty, and finally back to the pier. We got so close to the Statue of Liberty that the boat police started coming after our boat to tell us to go further back. Yep. Were badasses. Tryna catch us ridin' dirty even on a boat. 

Anyways, I got to enjoy a relaxing boat ride, watched the sun set, got a little free food, and had some nice conversation for a change. Overall, fun night in NY...or at least the water surrounding it :)

P.S. This last picture is goofy as hell to me...if only i were on a cheesy reality show...It would be that introduction picture with "Gaby, age 20" in the bottom right hand corner... tell me that doesn't look like something in a reality TV show.

WOW...I suck.

I've realized how incredibly bad I am at posting... BUT here goes. These are few photos from this (already 2 months) journey to New York City. It's been one heck of a ride so far, and I kinda wished it would never come to an end :( 

Perhaps I will share some background to some the pictures posted: 

1. Silly rando picture of my 4th of July outfit that I will be waltzing around the Hamptons' sandy beaches in. Just consists of a white bustier top and a long, flow-y floral chiffon skirt. Can't wait to bust out the sparklers and celebrate good ol' Independence day in that! woooo.

2. Spotted near the World Trade Center memorial. Just a couple-o-fire fighters taking a break from saving lives. nbd.

3. New addiction...I mean addition to the wrist family. A bracelet with one gold skull, filled with jewels. Those street vendors know how to sell me stuff. I secretly love every piece of jewelry they try to sell me. OH and they are obviously made of REAL DIAMONDS...ha. 

4. RIP leather pants: We had a good run, but couldn't quite win the race :( Jess got the last  wear of those suckers. At least they ripped AFTER a long night of dancing, sitting and other difficult things to do in leather pants.

5. Picture of me...*couph*conceited much? nice. On to the next..

6. With the 4th of July right around the corner, It's only necessary to take a picture of the Amurrican flag dancing in the wind. 

7. Chicago city from miles above. Missin' the midwest.

8. My new Victoria's Secret swim suit! Finally one that makes me feel decently attractive. Guess it calls for a photo :)

Oxfords

Always trust mother to turn a bad day into a good one (Steve Madden helped also) :) As much as I would like to say materialistic items do not make me sleep happily at night...they do. It's some-what pathetic, I must admit. OH WELL. 

I was having a bad day and my mom informs me that there were some shoes she saw at Von Maur that she thought I would like, soo we decide to go check em' out..and this is what we find! Such beauties. Such sparkley, wonderful, Steve Madden-y beauties. My mom had to get them for me. Now they are mine :)

p.s. my friend gave me the latest Nylon magazine. I am happy. 

Sunglasses...for all that sun that happens while it's snowing...

While I browsing through the ol' Bromann thrift shop, I came across a beautiful find...these $1.00 possibly 20's, 30's or maybe 70's sunglasses! (correct me if I'm horribly off on the year, because I really don't have the slightest clue) but yes, there they were.. perched in basket next too a few shameful, worthless contraptions meant for blocking your eyes from the sun. Oo Wee, little did I know that my fashion icons Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen had pares that were almost identical to mine. he he he. I've outsmarted the system once again with my cheap, magnificent buy :) 

5 hot Hairstyles of 2012

The simple hairstyles are out, and messy, dramatic, creative hairstyles are in! Wee, and the more detailed the better. These are just a few of my top favorite hairstyles I've seen floatin' about the web/ wish I could do with my own hair. I am however, going to dye my hair a different color brown, --thinkin' a more golden brown color maybe? One step at a time :) Soon enough my long beautiful locks can make for a structure dread look, just like in the last picture posted.
