I can’t believe it’s been 2 whole months since Miss Aimz and I hit New York and we’ve not even shared our sassy adventures with you…Well, it was a whole lot o’ awesomeness, but you’d expect nothing less when the minxes hit the city that never sleeps, right? Here are some of our highlights, must see’s and total NYC must-dos…

Fred Flare, Greenpoint, Brooklyn
I have been a fan-girl o’ Fred Flare and their gorgeous merch for years now, they’ve now got a pile o’ bricks in Brooklyn and the Fred Flare shop sure is location cutesville! We hung out with the fabu Bilgin and Bee, purched some merch – well, it’d be rude to go all that way and not, right? – and had a mini photoshoot with the girls starring on their very own blogginz! Head out to Brooklyn on the L train and go find the cuteness!

While you’re in Brooklyn, hit the vintage shops of which there are plenty and buy cute pillar box hats like Miss Aimz…

Go find Patrica Field. Step inside and indulge. Need I say more? The staff are so hip and fabulous and there’s just enough pink and leopard print to make me the happiest girl in happyville!

302 Bowery, NYC, NY 10012 – Between E Houston & Bleecker Streets

Dylans Candy Bar may be owned by a super-rich ‘it’ girl, but I don’t care, because it’s filled-to-the brim with yummy scrummy candy deliciousness that you simply have to witness, and taste – natch, for yourself. They also have super-complimentary staff – those guys do wonders for a girl’s self-esteem and if you’re lucky you’ll catch a VERY cute boy on the promo stand who may over-share about his boy exploits with you.

We got our burlesque on at downtown New York locale, The Slipper Rooms. It was a li’l bit dark, a li’l bit dive-y and a whole lot of glam-girls pulling seriously saucy moves…

Miss Aimz post Bloomie’s makeover.

Me mid-Bloomie’s makeover.

The Yves Saint Laurent beauty counter in Bloomingdales. It’s a li’l bit of heaven right here on earth, and I’m not even exaggerating. We met an adorbz make-up artist called Miranda who made us both real pretty and then helped us to part with a whole lot of crazy cash for beauty prods in bee-you-tiful gold packaging…Le sigh.

Bloomingdales 1000 Third Ave, between 59th and 60th streets.

The soundtrack to our entire trip…

We’ve still got so much to share, we’ll follow up with part 2 and 3 very soon – in the meantime, we’d love to know what your New York highlights are…

On rain-filled days like today I think it’s only right and proper that I share some new treats from my pink leopard-print vanity case o’ fabulous pick-me-ups…

My gorgeous gal-pal, Deepa intro-d me to this song and I’ve been playing it on repeat ever since. I’m now officially looking for a man who I love more than chocolate and ice cream – he’s gonna have to be pretty freakin’ awesome!

Read ANYTHING written by Miss Dani – she’s a million shades of awesome and injects a touch o’ positivity every single day at her blogginz – Positively Present and Hope Springs Internal – oh, and she did a rather fabu interview with li’l ol’ me about sassyness and being a member of girlkind which you can read right here…Big props, g’friend.

Swell Vintage – LOVE this site so much, come back soon as I’ll be interviewing the lady behind the label, FYI: She’s awesome, til then, sigh out loud at the pretty, pretty vintage finds at her etsy store – I WANT. NEED. MUST HAVE this Oscar de la Renta scarf – le sigh.

Read this quote, write it out, read it again and believe it:
“…Smart is the new sexy. Awkward is the new cool. Flawed is the new beautiful…”
– Melissa Blake

Carolyn Turgeon – new girl crush. She’s freakin’ crazy awesome – interviewed her for SM yesterday and she’s blown me away with her awesomeness – you will be too when you read the interview on Friday – ahh-mazing. She’s the belly-dancing, author girl of Godmother: The Secret Cinderella story a book that I devoured in one sitting, it’s so good. If you love Enchanted and Bewitched this will sprinkle a whole lot of magic in your life and after all, everyone needs a bit of magic in their lives, right?

What’s new with you, pussycats? Care to share?

No, that’s not me – I know, hard to believe, right? That’s a crazy-cool surf-girl doing crazy-cool surf-girl things in Cornwall.

Oh Cornwall,  how I heart thee.

Now,  I am by no stretch of anyone’s imagination an actual surf-girl, but a visit to Cornwall, on the South West coast of the UK, makes me want to be one. A lot. Mainly because if I surfed all day, I’d be able to eat clotted cream on scones in the back of a camper van with a chilled-out, dreadlocked surf-boy by night – le sigh.

Okay, so I may not be able to fly you above the rooftops of Paris ala this whimsically bee-you-tiful Sophia Coppola short film for Dior, I am, however, able to intro you to the most awesome Paris tour-guide you’ll ever wish to meet – Miss Marine.
