NYC Travel Diary #7

The Strand Bookstore Washington Square Park Prospect Park Farmer’s Market, Brooklyn The Great Frog, Orchard Street, Lower East Side These are some more places I visited whilst in NYC. Not quite as touristy but still lovely and worth visiting! My friend and I strolled around NYU and Washington Square Park one afternoon, and also popped into the famous Strand Bookstore, which is the biggest book…

NYC Travel Diary #6 Top of The Rock

Probably one of New York’s top sightseeing/tourist attractions is Top of The Rock at the Rockefeller Center. If you want to see amazing views of the city – this is the place to go. Along with the Empire State Building, these were the two attractions I did to see the views of the city. Top of the Rock is a great experience, and the elevators are really cool and play projected images on to the…

Seeing as it’s been so long since I posted anything beauty related on here, I thought I’d do a little update on some of my favourite products at the moment. If you follow me on instagram (@elizabeth.nellie) you will have already seen the picture and some brief details, but I thought I’d do a little post with links and my full thoughts. Base Products Bourjois Happy light primer  I picked this up…

I couldn’t visit New York without seeing the Statue of Liberty! It was amazing to see the statue, and we also visited Ellis Island, and had a tour around both which was really good. We then walked across the Brookyln Bridge and onto Grimaldi’s pizza and the Brooklyn ice cream factory!! Another day we visited Macy’s & Victoria’s Secret, and had a delicious pinkberry frozen yoghurt! New York really…

This was the day we visited the MET Museum and the Natural History museum. Both were really good and I have loads of photos of the museum exhibits and paintings, but thought I’d just upload a couple!! I’d definitely recommend visiting both museums though as they’re really interesting and have loads of different things to look at. Also, if you go to the MET, you can just give a donation and don’t…

On my second full day in NYC I went to visit the 9/11 memorial and the Tribute centre. I used a New York Explorer pass for my tourist attractions and I’d recommend getting one if you’re visiting New York as it does work out easier and cheaper. I also chose the Explorer pass as you can choose your own attractions and aren’t restricted to set things. I visited the Tribute Centre and went on a tour…

NYC Travel Diary #1

These are the photos from my first day in New York City! It’s the first time I’ve travelled anywhere alone and I can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. On my first day I felt quite jet lagged so my friend took me on a walk to the Upper West Side to get an amazing cookie from Levain bakery, an iced coffee from Joe, and I saw some of Central Park for the first time. My second…

Apologies I haven’t posted anything on my blog for months, it’s been a combination of events and things including finishing my masters’ dissertation, finishing my job to start a new one in September, and an amazing trip to New York City! As I’ll be working full-time from September, I’m not sure how regular posts will be, but I am aiming to be blogging again regularly!! My next few posts will be…

May Birchbox Another great box from Birchbox this month! It was another ‘choose your product’ box, and you could select a Spectrum pink or purple beauty blender sponge – I went for the purple one, these sponges are great for applying foundation and cream products and give a really flawless finish, so I was glad to get another as mine is getting a bit worn now! I’m also excited to try the Ole…

Jacket by Toxik3 (from TK Maxx)  Brandy Melville t-shirt Topshop joni jeans Nike Huarache trainers Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 Yesterday I took my mum to a craft show in Port Sunlight and wasn’t planning on taking any outfit photos, but it was such a nice location and a lovely sunny day, so here’s my outfit! I haven’t blogged regularly recently as I’ve had a lot on at work and am approaching my…

Boohoo bodysuit  Missguided denim skirt  Adidas Stan Smith trainers  This is another variant of my new favourite outfit: body, skirt & trainers. I just find it comfortable and flattering. I really like my Stan Smith trainers as they’re so comfortable and go with everything, although I do like pairing them with Navy outfits to pick out the details. This boohoo bodysuit is from the tall range, and…

Boohoo body  Missguided denim skirt  Nike Air Max trainers Another bodysuit and skirt combo as I’m just loving them right now! I love the detailing on this bodysuit from boohoo and it’s such a soft fabric. I paired it with my denim skirt from Missguided via ASOS, which I’ve been wearing a lot recently, and also these new Air Max trainers that I got from the Nike outlet for just £30!

Boohoo top Missguided skirt  TK Maxx shoes  This top is another new one from my recent Boohoo order and I really like the sleeve detail. I’ve been wearing a lot of more fitted things recently but I just really liked this top as it’s comfortable and a bit different from my other long sleeve t shirts. I paired it with my Missguided faux leather skirt and my new favourite lace-up flats from TK Maxx.
