Next on the list, my first Halloween spent in NYC!

Before the weekend even started, I went to The Jekyll and Hyde Club, a half a block away from Central Park. From what I've seen, they celebrate Halloween year round.

Also before Halloween, I had to dress up to celebrate at school...a lot of fun! This gave me good enough reason to head over to one of my favorite stores in the city, Ricky's.

For my West Coast followers, Ricky's is kind of like an Aahs, but they have wigs! For $2, they let you try them on. From Marilyn to Betty Boop - it's too much fun! There is never a dull moment spent at Ricky's and I never leave empty-handed! :) At Ricky's, I ended up purchasing a Geisha dress, umbrella, and a short black wig. My makeup was inspired by the poorly, or perfectly, applied Geisha face from Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2010 show. Here's one of the makeup styles she showed.

On Halloween itself, there is no better place to celebrate than in Greenwich Village. Every year they have a parade and close to two million people come to from all over the world to see it. Everyone's dressed in the most outrageous and funny costumes you could ever imagine. If you haven't yet, you have to go at least once.

Here are some pictures from that weekend!

Much love, bloggies!

Like I said the best costumes I have ever seen!

"Bad Romance"

Tomorrow I'll continue to update you on the past weeks. Today though, I've only got a few moments to share with you. So, here's the newly released Lady Gaga music video for "Bad Romance." With a close eye, you can see bits and pieces from Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 show. Enjoy....

Birthday Post. I'm Back.

I am so sorry bloggies for not writing sooner, but YorkGirl has been very busy.  I'll take the next few days to catch you up on the past couple weeks. Today's post: my thirteenth birthday!

I invited a group of my newest friends to celebrate with me on the 23rd of October. We were picked up at school by a party bus, taken to Gray’s Papapya for a light snack (or, in other words, the best hot dogs in NYC), and then to a spooky scavenger hunt through Greenwich Village. We went to TAO for a celebratory dinner where we sat right at the base of the big Buddha! To end the day and begin the night, we went to the Plaza hotel for a sleepover together. It was a magical day!

I received so many great gifts too. By far the most precious was a Mon Monogram-ed Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. Hand-painted onto the bag are my initials, “B.S”. I still can’t get over how much I love it!

I just can’t resist also sharing two incredible hats that my brother got me from a hat shop named Samuel’s Hats located near Wall Street. They’re absolutely beautiful.

Here are some pictures from the fantastic day…
