Through My Lens : Recently On Instagram


A few highlights of this past month as seen on Instagram which serves as my unofficial food diary and love letter to NYC. I also post quick reviews here and there. As this year is drawing to an end, it seems like the months are going by quicker. We had a brief respite from fall but it's cool now and I just hope that it stays moderate for awhile before the winter weather arrives. I'm seriously not looking forward to it. For more, click on over to Instagram and do follow if you like what you see...

  • Downtown Manhattan is so vibrant these days.
  • Fun times at the Vogue Magazine party celebrating the new Kit & Ace Oculus World Trade Showroom. You might have caught my Instagram stories on the event that included my OOTD.
  • A wave of Indian summer hit the city two weeks ago and it was glorious.
  • We love hot pot and we do it at home sometimes but it's a pain to set up. It's much easier to go out for it especially when we now have some great places in our neighborhood.
  • My go to fall lip colors. Read my mini review.
  • Kicking off stew season with galbi jjim inspired short rib and potato. I make Asian style stews and my secret is re-using my stew sauce.
  • Hanging out at Stuyvesant Square Park with the pretty light and cool looking ground.
  • The most amazing Niçoise salad from Maple, a delivery only food service.
  • Shopping my own closet and unearthed these shoes that I've only worn once.

My husband was just telling me that he craves hot pot and we want to find a new spot!
I miss downtown! I spent so many years there and it's so beautiful and developed, especially by the Winter Garden now. Hopefully next visit...

I can't believe you've only worn that pair of flats once because it's so darn cute. Isn't it strange how we sometimes forget the good stuff that we have, that's why I love going through my old stuff every now and then.

This flats are adorable. I'm sure you'll get some more use out of them (hopefully!). I'm always finding pieces in my closet that I've only worn once and while I have every intention of using them, I never actually do bahahahaha.
