So This Is The New Year

Happy 2012 dear readers! I'm writing this post on the long train ride back to NYC, looking out the window at a sea of white snow and reminiscing about the holidays. I hope you're all doing well, and I wish you all the best in the new year!

Here are just a few pictures from the past few weeks in Manhattan and Rochester - lots of Christmas lights, early new years parties (with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots!), and merry-go-round rides with my niece. How did you celebrate the holidays?

A day in the life

I took these pictures over the course of a day in the life of an unemployed NYC girl (but hopefully not for much longer!). After messing around taking pics in the hallway of our apartment building, the BF and I decided to walk downtown to check out the Christmas decorations in midtown -- this may or may not have been a horrible decision considering I was wearing 6-inch-high heels. Still, Manhattan is beautiful this time of the year, and the Christmas lights were (almost) enough to make me forget the pain in my feet!

In honor of the mid-season finale of Gossip Girl tonight, I put together a little list of items I can imagine waiting for Blair Waldorf under her Christmas tree this year - of course, I wouldn't mind seeing any of these under my tree either! Xoxo!

PS - The Missoni for Target throw that I've been obsessed with for months is back in stock at Target.com. If you've been wanting it too, go buy it now!
