Day 3 NYC wanderings

So cool and comfortable in my family reunion shirt. What a life saver :)

Dress: Thrifted $3 / Socks: Rivers $2 / Shoes: Converse $50 / Belt: Gifted from Amra Jewellery: Thrifted

Hello lovely ones, How are you all? I thought I better keep the posts coming while I'm on a roll because I just realised (I know I'm slow right) that I still have a mountain of posts waiting to publish. I have numerous old outfit shots, loads of photos from my second trip to Samoa, gigs I have attended and even family functions and events where I went interstate and overseas. I'm so bad I only just started sharing my old New York photos from last year. So I better keep posting now or I will never do it.

This was day 3 of our NYC summer adventure. We woke up early and walked to the top of the Rock from our hotel. I wore this adorable summer dress I found at Mickey and Mallory's for $3. I couldn't wait to wear it because I found it just before winter had hit at home. It is really bright and light; two of my favourite things :) We ate giant pretzels, turkey and cranberry sandwiches and loads of water. It was sooooo hot that day. I packed an extra shirt (it's my most favourite t-shirt and I ordered it online for my family reunion that was held in New Zealand last April....pics still to come >,< ) and I'm glad I did because after roaming around I just wanted to be cool and comfortable so this cotton shirt was a lifesaver. We went to the museum of natural history and we ate hot dogs outside of Grand Central park while waiting for our bus. Chatted to some lovely old folk from Canada and posed with a ridiculous amount of wax statues and played in Ripley's haunted house tunnel. To avoid being scared for real my sister just started screaming like she was being murdered so the scary people wouldn't come and touch her. I thought it was funny and I pushed Ruth to the front so that if the scary people were coming to get us, they'd at least get her first.

 Good friend aye ;)

NYC: summer wonderings 2011

Making our way to the Guggenheim Museum

Seeing/making references to SITC

Fulfilling promises to our friend Moala who wanted a firefighter. 

Eating at our favourite little pizza place around the corner.

Beautiful tribute to the 9/11 Hero's from their ladder.

Hello lovely readers,

While each day in NY was jam packed with laughs and adventures, this day just seemed that extra bit special. My sister and I were getting really tired so we strayed away from the group.....came back to the hotel for a little snooze. Woke up and it was lovely and warm outside....made our way on the subway back to the group....caught up with Emma and Rhi.....made it back to the hotel....saw all the cute firefighters and just had to get a pic with one because I promised my friend I would....basically walked up to him with this spill about "my friend just absolutely loves firefighters and she wanted to get a photo with a NY firefighter so can we get a photo with you?"....I said it really quickly and he just smiled with these amazing teeth and was like "suuurrree" the 4 of us were blushing a little because he was so nice, enjoyed the flirt and had a quick chat to us.....long enough for him to kinda stumble over his boots (and played it off like it was nothing) so I walked away giggling to myself.

He reckons "Enjoy your vacaay......oh I mean HAALIDAY!" 

Big Love,

Falala Mele

ps. we are sitting on the plane as I post this :) Not long to go now xo
