Last week, I was fortunate enough to fly to New York for a last minute trip with D. Since it wasn’t our first time in the city, we decided to forgo the more touristy activities and opted to do one of our favourite things instead: to explore new neighbourhoods and all that they have to offer. Among the many distinct little areas we visited, West Village was probably my favourite: with its delightful boutiques, cute cafes, and cobblestone roads, it had an undeniable charm that was all its own. The neighbourhood also featured rows upon rows of picture-perfect apartment buildings, which made a pretty ideal backdrop for this summery travel outfit.



Stay tuned this week for lots more photos from the Big Apple!

    Lawrence and I loved West Village the last time we went to New York. There’s this great restaurant there called The Little Owl. Best meal of our trip, hands down.
