NEW YORK CITY

One of the reasons I love June (besides it being my birthday month) is because it's time for the summer holiday season! This month I turned 21, and marking the occasion was a long-awaited trip to NYC. I loved it, the busy streets, shopping trips in the Upper East Side and visits to Sephora (I sense a haul post) made me feel like I was in an episode of Gossip Girl. I stayed in a beautiful hotel on Madison Avenue, a short walk away from Times Square. I thought I would share some photos of the highlights, including a helicopter ride over the city, walking across Brooklyn Bridge at daylight and sunset, and the fourth of July fireworks.
