Last weekend I went back to the city, spending a total of 14 hours traveling during the two nights and one day I had there. Insane.

I arrived to the city at about 7:30, where Antoine picked me up from the bus terminal and he headed towards Bryant Park to grab dinner. I had an insane craving for szechuan food, and since the closest restaurant to me upstate is an hour and a half drive up north, I knew I had to make the most of my trip to the city by eating as much as I could. (OK maybe I gained a pound or two, but it was so damn worth it.)
On one day alone (the only full day I had to spend there), I spent (at least) five and a half hours on public transportation. I traveled from Queens to Flushing to Williamsburg to 14 st., to Elmhurst, to the Bronx, to Flushing, and finally back to Queens.
My first stop was Main St. Flushing, where I bought three bottles of hair dye before jumping on a 7 train. I took the 7 to Court Sq where I got on a Church Av bound G for 3 stops. A ~15 minute walk then landed me in front of Artists and Fleas in Williamsburg. I came here for one thing, and one thing only: (or one person.) KT Ferris. I grabbed two vintage doll eye chokers from her that I've been saving up for for some time now. One with a black velvet band for Joey and one with a gorgeous gold and red band for myself. Joey and I had been thinking about getting matching blinking eye chokers for some time now, and I decided to get her hers as a belated birthday present. Unfortunately, KT herself wasn't there at the time that I went, otherwise I wanted to have her sign a small "happy birthday" note for my girl. Hopefully Joey doesn't read this before I get the choker to her, but then at least she won't be able to give me crap about not getting her a present yet. Jk love ya Jo. :-P

After eating, we did a little photoshoot near the high line.

| I was recovering from a cold and had a cough attack in the middle of the shoot LOL |
When we shot enough outfit photos for our liking, we went to artists and fleas in Chelsea Market so I could grab a pair of deer antlers for halloween. I also ended up leaving with a gold lace crown.
Afterwards, I headed back towards Queens for my endocrinologist appointment (not a fan of my doctor to be honest :/). The appointment was pretty stressful, making me an emotional wreck on an hour long train ride to the Bronx. I met up with my boyfriend to go to his friend's birthday celebration. Honestly, I really didn't want to go. I practically didn't even want to see him. I just wanted to cry in a cafe by myself with a nice cup of tea. (like, I said, I was an emotional wreck). But I'm glad I went. yes, even all the way to the Bronx... Thank you for holding my hand and for loving me, babe. As the party dwindled to an end, my boo took me home via subway, but not before getting Snowdays (which has sentimental value for me, and therefore was one of the best parts of my trip). I got the black sesame, as always, with mochi, strawberries and honey. It was my first time having honey as the glaze instead of caramel or peanut butter, but oh my god, I am so glad I tried it. I'll probably be getting that from now on. My boo got one of their combos, but I forget which one. I believe it was sweet cream, captain crunch (or whatever that cereal is), peanut butter, andddddd I have no idea what that black stuff is. Lol.
Finally, on Sunday morning, I was headed back to university. My parents drove me back because the bus ticket was insanely expensive. Plus it was a nice time to bond, even though I slept for most of the ride. Still... it felt really homey. Here's my outfit from the ride!
