I’m interrupting my usually chronological photos because Lydia’s are already up. And if I post them in order it’ll be next week and I’ll feel like an idiot. Lydia’s write up is much better, and you should look at some of the photos she captured with her wide angle lens!
Last week Lydia came to New York! We did lots of fun and mostly non-touristy things (I put my foot down at Times Square with a tripod on a Friday night. Just. No.).
Lydia zeroed in on my manicure. I’m starting a new trend. Really.
We went to Central Park because Lydia had never been, and wonder of wonders: I managed not to get us lost. But we didn’t venture any farther uptown than Le Pain Quotidien. Otherwise getting lost would have been a very real possibility because I have no idea where any of those walkways go as soon as they’re past Le Pain.
Then we ventured downtown for some shopping, etc. and then we met Nnenna and ate lots of pho!

ah you look super chic in black.
Caitlin says
I am in love with your skirt! Where is it from? Is it leather?
Definitely going to have to try your manicure. Soon, it will be an option in every salon across the country. They’ll called it, “The Delayed Missives.”
Nnenna says
Boy am I coveting that wide-angle lens! Also, I like your manicure- I might even try it myself! :D
Alex Elizabeth says
Yes, do it! We’ll start a trend! And I know, the wide angle is so amazing. Jealous.
Mia says
I actually really like that manicure idea–I have a dark purple polish that I like, but that looks kind of overwhelming all over my nails. Maybe I’ll try this! (Though my nails are kind of sad and square rather than pretty and ovoid like yours, but I’m gonna give it a try anyhow.)
You always look like you’re having so much fun with your friends! It makes me smile. :) <– See?
Alex Elizabeth says
I think a square nail would actually be better for this, more geometric and edgy. You should definitely try it.
I treasure the time I get to spend with my friends. As we get older they don’t want to come out to play as often :(

Looks like so much fun!! Wish I was still there. And I think you got some pretty awesome photos, too. It is amazing what a wide angle lens does, though.
Alex Elizabeth says
Yes! It can get three bloggers into one photo from arms length away! The widest angle lens I have is 35. Thinking I might want a 10-20.
Lyddiegal says
We will just get like 10 other people to rock (and blog)your manicure, and it will snowball from there.
I must come visit again soon!
totally stealing that first pic, so cute.
Alex Elizabeth says
hahahaha I’m doubting it will catch on. But just in case we could call it the lazy girl’s guide to wearing bold nail polish colors.
