guessed it– my dad.





I’ve had a
thing for polka dots ever since I heard the
itsy-bitsy
teeny-weeny yellow polka-dot bikini song. Don’t pretend like you don’t remember
it!
On another note, I’m moving to NYC for my summer
internship at Marie Claire in just a few days! I know my first stop has to be
Levain Bakery. I consider myself to be somewhat of a chocolate chip cookie
connoisseur, and Levain makes the best ones hands down. I also plan on spending
some quality time at
Ladurée and the Tory Burch flagship
on Madison. Calling all New Yorkers—I’d love your dining, shopping and cultural recommendations (A subway map for dummies would also be appreciated). I’ll be living in the West Village, but I’m
so excited to explore
all that the city has to offer. Thank you for sharing any tips with me!

      Thank you, Anngelik! I bought the pink jeans in Paris, so I affectionally call them "my Paris pants." ; )
