10 Things About NY

So, I have been doing some reading on what people felt they should know before they moved to New York and here are the top ten things. However, I found it funny that all 4 boroughs were mentioned except the one I will be living in: The Bronx.

1o things i should apparently know before i move to new york
1. it's dirty; flip flops are a no no
2. it's expensive
3. people aren't necessarily rude, just more of in a hurry
4. there is everything known to man to eat so there is no excuse to eat at a chain restaurant
5. pay to live in a more expensive neighborhood with a shoebox sized apartment rather than a crappy neighborhood with a nice apt: you will get mugged
6. don't wear heels in the meatpacking district
7. learn the subway system but also know, you better get there early
8. bring earphones or something to read for the subway
9. there are 5 boroughs in new york city to explore, not just Manhattan
10. walk on the left side of the street and stand on the right

Also, I was trying to find a new background for the blog but I kept coming up with stuff that didn't quite work.








Feel free to try to find a new background because I deleted the old one on accident!

I'm Finally Posting!! (Trixie)

Well, I thought it was about time to write a new post for the blog. I can't believe the Adventures of Trixie and Dixie is almost a year old! I received an Urban Outfitters gift card for my birthday, so I decided that I would post some of the items I'd like to buy (or wish I could buy) there with it! 1. I have discovered that I spend way too much money on clothes that are too dressy to wear to everyday activities, so I am striving buy more casual pieces like this top. I think this piece is great to wear during the summer because its stripes give it a nautical vibe. 2. Recently, I have become obsessed with wedges. I was so excited when I saw these on the Urban Outfitters website until I saw the price. 100 dollars...on sale. 3. I love the clothes Lea Michelle wears on Glee, and I believe these suspender-shorts are very Rachel Berry-esque.

Ahhhhhhhhh.....the 70s.....

I feel nostalgic for the 70s. Yes. I know I wasn't even alive or thought of but I do! Here's just a random collection of photos that I obviously found on google images that remind me of a wayyy different time!

Accccesssorriieessss!

So, it was definitely an interesting past couple of weeks. I had more luck with accessories this time around than clothes. The accessories below are from Chicago but I posted so pics I took in L.A. as well. The only thing I bought in L.A. was some shoes but I'll post them later with an outfit!
From Francesca's.


H&M.

Forever 21! The store there is huge, it's insane.

H&M ( I think this is my favorite!

Fire hydrants in Beverly Hills are silver.

Too bad it was a rainy day but still cool nevertheless.

Merry Christmas!

Well, somethings wrong with my camera and the pictures are not showing up very well. This outfit is so much cuter than it seems. The black pencil skirt is from the new designer at Target and makes my booty look really nice! This shirt is from Old Navy and the tights are from, well. probably Target. Not very Christmas-y but it looks really nice and the pinks tights make it seems less, monotone?

These are the new rain boots my parents got me. It's kinda hard to see but they have black, white,and gray stripes covering them. The got them from this store in Chicago called Filenes.

Here are some dangly earrings I got for Christmas last year from Francesca's. It makes my usual pony tail look seem less boring.

Here's a short video of my record player playing Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf. You can hear me talking in the background and you don't have to watch the whole thing!

So, I think this is one of the worst posts I've done in a while but I'm short on time and wanted to put something up!

Have an AWESOME Christmas and Happy New Year!

Epic Gingerbread Houses (trixie)

Since it's almost time to make the annual gingerbread house, I thought I would post some inspiration for this year's design. The last one is my favorite!

ANTM Finale (trixie)

I just finished watching the finale of America's Next Top Model Cycle 15, and I am so happy because...Ann won!!!!! I think she will be a superb high fashion model. The runner up was Chelsey; she was my second pick because I admire how much she has worked to make it in the fashion world. The only aspect about this season that I did not like was that the models participated in a Vogue Italia cover shoot rather than a Seventeen cover shoot; I understand that this season was especially geared toward high fashion, but I am disappointed because I am not able to buy the magazine Ann will be featured in. Here is a picture of both Ann (right) and Chelsey (left).
