The city outside still sounds like it's on fire

This past Thursday was one of my favorite nights in NYC so far. I was invited to cover the launch party for the new Heineken red star bottle and I agreed, thinking I would drink a few free Heinekens and take a few pictures. It ended up being so much more amazing than I could've imagined!

Heineken shipped everyone across the East River to a "private location" which turned out to be the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We were treated to a red carpet, unlimited Heinekens and appetizers, appearances by Ashley Tisdale and Stacy Keibler, music by DJ Vice, and oh yes, a surprise concert by one of my favorite bands, fun.!! My head is still spinning over the whole experience. Fun. performed for about an hour, including their hits "We Are Young", "Carry On", "Some Nights", and "Stars". Thank you Heineken, and thank you fun.!!

Soho

I spent yesterday morning in Soho, a dangerous exercise for a shopaholic like myself. It started out innocently enough, wandering up and down the streets, taking pictures of the gorgeous storefronts and buildings...

 

Then I stumble on Balthazar. Oooo Balthazar. I've never had anything from Balthazar before. 

Two almond croissants please!

 

I keep wandering, and now that I'm on a sugar high Broadway is really starting to stress me out! 

Dodging the tourists and aggressive neighborhood natives, I duck on to a side street. 

That's when I see it - Opening Ceremony.

 

Hours pass on both sides of the store (the mens side has these awesome stairs leading up to it) and 

I lose all sense of sanity, eventually leaving with a big bag containing the ridiculously overpriced 

sweatshirt pictured below. I blame the almond croissants.

 

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

Add me to the list of bloggers who wish they were at Coachella right now. Did you hear R. Kelly popped up on stage with Phoenix? And Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted drinking out of the same gatorade bottle (they're still together??). I need to get off the #Coachella hashtag, it's killing me! Anyhow, at least if I ever magically end up at the festival while I'm still young enough to wear cutoffs, I have my entire wardrobe planned out, starting with these two looks.
