NYC + Yurman + Mint & Glass Nails




Ring - David Yurman, Nails - Essie "Mint Candy Apple", Accent Nail - nail beads 

The big apple is magical in December - almost every store and restaurant embrace the holiday spirit with garlands, wreaths, ornaments, lights, and (insert your denomination's holiday here) decorations. Against the over decorated backdrop is the holiday energy from millions of present-hungry shoppers. Each shopper clutches 3-8 bags and bustles about between department store sales. It's Christmas on crack.

I love it so much that visiting NYC has been a pre-Christmas tradition for the past 5 years. Every year I look forward to a similar adgenda: shows, window displays, walking the streets in boots + a cozy scarf + hat, stopping to watch street performers, holiday parties in crowded apartments, eggnog martini's, and brunch with friends. 

This year there was some icing on the annual trip: my sweet boyfriend gave me this beautiful David Yurman ring. What a guy. Millions of thanks to my love. It's such a treat to have a reminder of him and memorialize our holiday together in NYC.

Happy Holidays!
