So I know I just took another unexpected hiatus, but it was for good reason, I promise: I finally took a break from errythang and went on a trip to Miami and Key West!

I took a trip to New York City this past weekend to attend my good friend's wedding. I hadn't been to NY since--well, I don't remember exactly, but it's been at least 2 years. I love the city, but haven't had the time or funds to make my regular pilgrimage, though I have been faithfully praying to the shopping gods on a regular basis.
After being "welcomed" by the rudest cab driver ever, I checked in
