The one that my friend, Steph, and I went for was the Williamsburg Flea which was right at the waterfront so there was a fantastic view of Manhattan at the pier.
THE skyline photo! :D I suppose this is probably where artists stand when they paint the Manhattan skyline.
photos taken by Stephanie. :)
I bought these Aldo mocassins very early on when I was in NYC and they ended up being my staple shoes for a large part of the trip.
Next we continued our exploration of Brooklyn and managed to locate Blue Bottle Coffee ! I'd read so many glowing reviews about it so I was really happy when we managed to find it.
(Doesn't that look incredible? I have NO IDEA what those are though. ;p So if anyone does, please enlighten me! I just love the way they've been displayed against that gorgeous blue wall beneath a mysterious spotlight.)
A technique they use to make 'Drip Coffee'. Basically using filter paper to distill the goodness out of those coffee beans with hot water. I didn't actually try any of the coffee (because I'd run out of money after getting a dress HEHEHE) but the aroma of the entire place was so lovely.

If you're ever in Brooklyn, this is definitely a place to check out! I love everything about it - the interior decoration and design... their minimalist and clean branding... Do check out their website and take a look at the really cute illustrations they have!
One thing I really love about Brooklyn is how so many buildings look so different from each other on the outside. None of that mass produced homogeneity.
It was really funny because Steph and I were searching high and low for THE famous vintage clothing store, Beacon's Closet, which is like THE HAVEN for vintage shoppers in Brooklyn. We happened to walk down a street and the first thing we saw was that sign and we went, "EW. What a scary looking baby!!!", not realizing that... THAT WAS THE STORE. ;p

Bird is one of the nicest stores I've been into. It carries all sorts of incredible brands such as Alexander Wang, A.P.C, Tsumori Chisato... basically all the most awesome and expensive brands. Even though I usually end up feeling semi-crappy after, I do love going into stores that sell gorgeous things simply because... I love looking at things that are beautiful. :) It does make me feel happy...until I pick up a price tag. But this store also has really nice interior decor; notice the hanging lights? I love how cozy it makes the place feel.
See why I love Brooklyn so much? :)
beautiful dots, beautiful smile, beautiful you! and i'd love to be there, looks so great :)
ReplyDeletehmm, what's about Beacon's Closet that everybody recommends it? :) it it really that nice?
This is such a great outfit! I love the polka dots and the satchels.

ReplyDeleteIt's HUGE!! It's like the biggest vintage clothing store i've been into!! I'm not a good vintage clothing shopper at all and by the time I discovered that place with my friend we were both SO tired...and I wasn't in the mood for rummaging through all the racks and racks of clothing. :P
@Chaucee Aww, thank you! :)
