Hurricane city

I went to spend my normal Sunday with my boyfriend in NY. We watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Can you say looooong movie?! I liked it more than I disliked it, so it's good in my book. After the movie and lunch he decided that we should spend the BEAUTIFUL DAY shopping in the city! So, we got ready and headed out. It was indeed really nice out.. probably the nicest it has been in a while. It wasn't too hot, nor was it cold or anything. It was just right. We hopped on the subway and headed to the city. The train was paaacked and it took forever! After we got off, he realized that we took the train that was further away from the store so we had to walk a bit. It was fine since it was nice out. We got to the store and there was a little line waiting outside.

The Marc Jacobs Special Items Store is literally the size of my room. It's always packed with people from all over! We had to wait for a couple of people to leave the store before we got to enter because it was just that small and that packed. Finally, it was our turn to go in. When you enter this tiny little store, you see an assortment of different colors of everything on selves or in little crates. Everything's clustered together and people are shoving around trying to get from one end of the little store to the other end of the little store, lol. I have a minor case of closter phobia so I tried to stay away from the shoving people, lol. As my boyfriend and I picked out some stuff that we wanted to purchase, I look outside the glass door and I see that the BEAUTIFUL DAY has officially turned into a monster. It was hurricaning outside, no joke. I stared at my boyfriend as my jaw dropped to the floor and the only thought that ran through my mind was.. "we are umbrella-LESS!" Thankfully, the Marc Jacobs Special Items Store sold umbrellas, which were flying off the selves at this point. It was 18$ + tax for an umbrella but who caaaares?! Do you want to get hurricaned on? I don't! So, it was the perfect opportunity for me to buy a cute umbrella ;] Too bad all the umbrellas there weren't cute. I rumaged through the endless selves of umbrellas with the same exact patterns in different colors and I finally came across ONE leopard print umbrella, ONE. And that ONE leopard print umbrella just had to be OPENED (asdfghjkl;'). I was just unsatisfied with the fact that I had to spend 18$ + tax on an umbrella that I didn't like, so my boyfriend reached up on a taller self and magically pulled out a brand new unopened leopard print umbrella. He is my hero :D I love leopard print. That umbrella was just a must have because at this point, the nasty hurricane was going to pass at any moment, but I didn't care (hehehe). Here are the things that my boyfriend and I purchased while being stuck in the miniature store during a hurricane:

Leopard Umbrella (love<3)

City Overprint Tee in Paris
I got this for my boyfriend. I kinda want one myself now, lol :x

City Overprint Tee in London
My boyfriend actually got this a while back, but I thought I'd share it lol.

London Cartoon Face Tee in Blue
I bought this for myself.

Charm Necklace in Lucky
It's so cute :D

Cotton Stripe Belt in Grey/Red and Navy/Purple
My boyfriend bought these for himself.

After the disgusting rain passed by, we went to Magnolia Bakery right on the corner. This little bakery is 1/2 the size of the Marc Jacobs Special Items Store and on a good day usually there's a line that runs around the corner of people waiting to get pastries. Since the weather was hideous, there was no line! So, it was the perfect chance to snag a cupcake or two :] I was so excited.

The box that fits 2 cupcakes!

Of course I had to take a menu :p

The 2 cupcakes my boyfriend and I picked.
Left: Red Velvet ; Right: Chocolate Buttermilk with sprinkles!

The infamous Velvet Red Cupcake.
I actually thought this cupcake was alright? But my boyfriend liked it a lot.

I am determined to go back and try every single one. One day, one day, hahaha. I ate the Chocolate Buttermilk one when I got home by myself and I actually really liked that one. It wasn't one of the "Special Cupcakes", but whatever. The Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcake is special to me, lol. The "Special Cupcakes" are 3$ each. The Red Velvet one was a special one, lol. The Buttermilk Cupcakes are 2.50$. They have a lot of other cute desserts. I will definitely be stopping by that store again.

Aside from my spontaneous spendings at the Marc Jacobs Store and at Magnolias, one of my goals that day was to get a rubber protector thingy for my new iTouch. My cousin gave me this iTouch back in April or May, but I didn't open it until a couple of days ago. I guess I was just lazy, but I thought school was starting in a month so I should get used to this thing before it's too late. That goal was a failure, hahaha. If the weather stayed nice, we would've eventually made our way from Bleeker St. to SOHO to Chinatown probably, but noooooo. That obviously didn't happen because I don't have my iTouch protector :[

It's so beautiful, lol :x
The only con about the iTouch is the back gets scratches easily.
I think I already have a light scratch on it and I just opened it.

That was my Sunday in the city. I really, really, really, really, really hope that the weather starts getting better. I say this everytime, but really.. it's just so depressing to check weather.com and see that it's going to "t-storm" every single day of forever. So much for summer, really. One more month of summer vacay. Pray for nice weather! I'll leave this entry with a pair of pumps I saw last Friday when I was on my way to dinner with T*:

GUESS 'Bukana' Pumps in Leopard
They are gorgeous and they also come in Black or Purple Velvet.
AND! They are on sale at Nordstroms for 66.90$
