black & white, date night

Sweater:  Express (On Sale!) Skirt: Zara; Boots: Nine West (old); Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

I love wearing classic black & white on date nights. The classic color combo is one of those where you can't go wrong! J surprised me with this amazing black & white chiffon skirt from Zara & I am so excited to finally wear it without it getting ruined by the crazy NY weather. Have a great weekend!

J & I took a day trip to the American Museum of Natural History (info available here) this past weekend.  This outfit was trendy yet still comfortable...although I probably should have chosen some better walking shoes! The museum itself was awesome; I had never visited the Natural History Museum so each artifact & display hall amazed me.  My favorite exhibits were the ocean life hall & the rooms dedicated to the dinosaurs & prehistoric animal fossils.  It's crazy how much animals, such as horses & turtles, have changed since prehistoric times!  Below are a few extra pictures documenting our day...

13. I cry whenever I need to express emotion.  Happy, sad, angry, etc.

23. I love to bake; I wish I made more time for it.
