NYC: ABC Carpet & Home and Conran Shop

I've never heard of this store before but as soon as I saw their show window I fell in love. When I went inside the store, I was so sad that I couldn't check out the entire store (we only had time to do a quick walk around the first floor...). I dont think I can say it enough.. I love this store... it takes home decor shopping to the next level :p

I'm glad I didnt know about this shop until this trip because I would've done a lot of damage...

And then we found this at the Conran Shop, which was at the basement of ABC Carpet & Home. Remember my fascination with containers, especially with the collapsable container/basket? Well, look at this beauty!!!!

All closed..

First drawer out

Mirrors up

and more drawers...

Basket/Container Transformers (BCTs)!!! No, this didnt fit in my suitcase, and the price of this would not be able to fit my wallet (think about it...), so I couldnt bring it to my sweet home. But maybe one day.... I'll have a few cool BCTs to call it my own lil' collection.

Brooklyn Lookin'

Coffee Coffee Coffee. I have no shame in admitting that I am a caffeine addict. I don't remember exactly when i had my first coffee... but I'm pretty sure we've become best friends since my undergrad years... oh the memories...

Anyways, while we were walking around brooklyn, Nick found a funky coffee shop called Gorilla Coffee. We took a break from all the walking to have a cup of coffee and have a little chat. Life seemed so relaxing in that coffee shop.. I could sit there forever...

And then I saw this girl wearing a cute red leather headband. They were rows of red leather triangles stitched together. She looked good! How appropriate for the shop.... red accent!

We went into this cozy little shop called Flirt Brooklyn. The shop carried brooklyn designer clothes and a lot of unique skirts. They custom make skirts too!

We walked on Fifth Avenue until all shops closed... lots of vintage shops!

Sweetness in NYC

We were at NYC for a few days last week, and although it was rainy during most of the trip, the few hours of sun we had on the last day was perfectly paired with some sweets!! Baked by Melissa... After just looking and not buying at the first shop in SOHO, I jumped at the chance when we found another location in the Garment District! They were really moist and just the perfect size... with just enough sweetness. Plus, look how adorable they are...

and yup.. we shared these little darlings...
