Hey oh. The sisterly duo of MayDae is back from New York City! We had a sensational time of walking, eating, shopping, and people watching. Manhattan is a confusing blend of beautiful, interesting people, and crazy weirdos. Fortunately, we got to experience both and take in many sights, sounds, and…smells. Every day this week MayDae will be featuring photos and tales from our trip, but first we are kicking off Manhattan week with some NYC inspired Etsy Picks. They are sure to make you crave the city!
May’s Etsy Picks:
(I heart NY pin from Saruno Vintage, blue dress from Desiree Salas, dog walker pillow by Love Lui, fingerless gloves by Heidi the Artist, white bag by Bayan Hippo, street sign photo by My Stuff 123, umbrella from Jess James Jake, heart watch from Cocoa Chu Chu, green skirt by Stephanie Geisler, NY subway photo by DJ Hockman)

After a delayed flight, very late night last night and waking up 2 hours late for work this morning…this is all I could muster:
Next week MayDae will unleash our New York trip on you, but until then – have a safe weekend!
Goodbye Manhattan.
2 long days full of walking all over New York City has brought one thing to my mind right now. Any guesses?
Any of these will do…
It’s good for you. And for me. Right now.

Has anyone else noticed the constant stream of painted white faces on the runway? Could it have anything to do with a certain vampire movie phenomenon? Or maybe it is exaggerating the generational turn of women who are running from tanning salons and trading in their baby oil for SPF 75?
Either way, the look fascinates me.

This is May. Today is her birthday. And don’t worry – the moustache isn’t real.
To some of you she might be May – to some just Stephanie. To me…she is the wife of an awesome guy, the mother of 3 wonderful children, my sister and friend. She is laughter, she is style, she is grace, she is really stinkin cool music, she is robins egg blue, she is the greatest thrift store and flea market shopper I know.
She is a beautiful singing voice that floats into your heart with ease like Zooey.
She is fiery red hair and New York fashion like Taylor.
She is of the mindset that you can and should wear high heels while pregnant.
She is my coffee and tea drinking partner.
She is my companion.
She is the Laura to my Kate.
She is the Carmen to my Milla.
She is the Jemima to my Sadie.
She is the May to my Dae.
Happy Birthday dear sister.
…New York…here we come!
Saying goodbye to the glorious cold weather is not fun for me. I love layers, hot coffee, white powdery snow, Christmas trees, fuzzy socks, and not sweating like a pig. I am sad to say goodbye to tights especially. Bare legs are boring in comparison, don’t ya think?
Forget that it’s almost June, wear tights all summer long!

I can’t wait to hit up the Marc Jacobs store in New York…not that I will be able to afford anything, but I can dream. Today I am feeling love for the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 line and its colors, patterns, brights and bows.

I was enjoying a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with crunch berries, when I felt sudden inspiration:
Nothing like matching an outfit to a bowl of cereal. Amazingly enough, I would actually wear this. I’m not a huge fan of pink, but the bow ring is super cute.
On a side note, I found out two days ago that I am taking a trip to NYC on Sunday! My amazing, incredible, hot husband gave me my birthday gift early – a trip to the Big Apple – and the best part is, my amazing, incredible, hot sister Dae is coming with me for her first ever trip to the city that never sleeps – woot woot! (breath*) Lookout Manhattan, MayDae is coming your way. Let the countdown begin!
