Travel Chronicles: Laydee Takes New York

Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of....

On The Run 

[Paparazzi Snaps of me in Upper East Manhattan Headed to Fashion Ave lol ]

Hey Beauties...

I know, I know it's been entirely too long. But I'm officially back and I'm for real this time, yes this means  you can expect a lot from me in the weeks to come!  Although we have so much catching up to do, I couldn't resist sharing with you my recent trip to the Big Apple. So check it out below!

[Time Square at night and the magnificent Freedom Tower]

So my gorgeous cousin/sister Calasia is getting married (p.s I'm super excited) and we all flew out to NYC on a mission to find perfect bridesmaid dress for her big day. In the process we stayed at the gorgeous Marriott Hotel in the middle of time square, went to several designer bridal boutiques, did some personal shopping, and ate at some of the best spots in the city. To sum it all up we pretty much had the times of our lives in 72 hours!!!

Birthday Bliss : My First Kate Spade Bag

Meet Jeanne my 1st Kate Spade Bag!

It's my birthdaaay! Well technically not until this Saturday Aug 2nd lol, but I couldn't wait to share my early birthday gift compliments of my lovely parents. My Jeanne Holly Street Leather Tote KS bag from nordstrom which originally retails for $428 but after having them price match the bag to match the competitive sale price of $299 listed on the Kate Spade site , and applying my employee discount (btw yes I work at Nordstrom ) it was $258. I know what you're thinking... what a steal right? Well it was! I end up with an amazing $170 dollars worth of savings and my face when I walked out the door with my new bag was priceless. Anywho I couldn't be happier to join the KS bag owners club. Thanks for reading.

Until Next Time...
