For the longest time, whether good or bad. I have tried everything to jazz up my mandatory school uniform. I look to bend the rules, or, at the very most, gently break them. In Los Angeles and now in New York City, I always start at the Gap. But not in the way that you're thinking. You see, I head straight to the boys department! That's right..the boy's section! Instead of just borrowing from boys with the boyfriend jean, I borrow their shirts too. 

Following in the footsteps of Coco Chanel, who was well known for incorporating different elements from men's fashion into her legendary designs,  I try to do the same for me! The boyfriend shirt works perfectly. Pair it with your school's necktie, pearls, a tulle skirt, leggings, great sunglasses and VOILA...Mademoiselle York Girl...

Me and the guys at the Gap!

School lunch break... streets of NYC!

As promised... Kylie Minogue! After the Tokyo Lash Bar and dinner at 44&X in Hell's Kitchen, I headed to the Hammerstein Ballroom for Kylie's first of three concerts in the Big Apple. Since this was her first tour in North America, I didn't want to miss it! Next to the music (favorite song- Speakerphone), the best parts were Kylie's costumes which came right off the runway collections of Jean Paul Gaultier and Dolce and Gabanna. I loved the Gaultier dress Kylie wore in the opening (picture below). He also designs for another two of my favorite artists- Lady GaGa and Madonna! And now, drum roll please... York Girl and Kylie Minogue!

Stealing my heart...

Splits?!

Thigh-high boots and feather headdress.

Heart-shaped lips and gold-leaf lashes!

After a long school week and dance classes at Manhattan Youth Ballet, I finally went out for much needed NYC excitement!

Today might be Columbus day in NYC but, yesterday was the United Hispanic American Parade on 5th Avenue! While rushing across Central Park to make an appointment at the Tokyo Lash Bar in Barneys I could not resist stopping to take in the excitement of this parade!

At the Tokyo Lash Bar with my friend Stella... Roman and Sasha helped us get ready for a night of Kylie Minogue! Lot's of controversy and debating over lipstick color, eyeliner, and whether or not to cover my freckles. I happen to like my freckles... thank you very much.

Tomorrow I'll post pictures from the concert.

Sasha, Me, Stella, and Roman at the Tokyo Lash Bar!

Cute little man in the parade.

One of the many countries represented.

I also couldn't resist turning my back on the parade to take a photo of this Chanel window display at Bergdorf Goodman

Is it possible to purchase this bag? Hehe!
