NYC Haul: Alexander McQueen, Anthropologie, Bobbi Brown

Last Friday I had the pleasure of driving down to Hoboken & NYC with my mum! We just arrived back home yesterday, which made the trip short-lived, but we crammed every day with different things. If you're ever on your way to NYC, I recommend stopping by Woodbury Commons, which is host to dozens of high-end outlet stores, including Chloe, Prada & YSL (which I frequented on more than one occasion). I also recommend checking out Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on Broadway. My mum and I caught this show, and it's definitely rated PG, but is pretty hilarious and completely different than any other show I've ever seen. Also, drag queens.

Anyway, below is my haul of what I brought home from NYC. I am so excited to share these with you, especially my big indulgence from Alexander McQueen.

I picked up this gorgeous rose gold snake ring from Vale Jewelry at a mini-market, sort of like a pop-up shop around 14th Street. It's so dainty and looks great with my gold snake head bracelet. Together with my sneak head bracelet from Bermuda. This wasn't purchased on my trip, but beforehand, and came in the mail yesterday upon my return. A gold-plated collar, I cannot even begin to explain how long I have been waiting and scouring the Internet and every H&M/Zara/Chloe/etc for one of these, finally, finally, I have one! Prepare for dominatrix fetish queen outfits inc. I also purchased ankle cuffs, because ever since I saw images of ankle cuffs on Tumblr, I have been searching for these too. I'm bringing gold hardware back. The only negative feedback I would have to give for these and the gold collar is that they are extremely malleable and the shape does not keep its original round form, so it's a constant struggle to mold it back into shape. I also hope these don't turn silver or become oxidized over time. Picked these up at Anthropologie & Bloomingdales! My first Bobbi Brown anything. This is her lip shine (SPF 15) in No 3, Papaya. It's so lovely and pigmented, and I like that it has sun protection because most lip products tend to leave that bit out! This is just a little mug I purchased at Anthropologie to put my Clairsonic in. Don't judge me >:( Another Anthro purchase. I only have three pairs of sunglasses: one pair of insane Lady Gaga sunglasses from Tokyo, one from Anthro, and this is my third. ... from Anthro. But I love the black top hardware and the shape fits my face perfectly without making me look like a county sheriff. Last! But certainly not least... my favourite (and biggest) purchase: An Alexander McQueen purse. It's quite a long story as to why I chose this purse, but it is perfection and I am so happy to have been able to bring it home. It's made of soft black leather with black canvas on the inside and comes with a gold skull lock (in-use on the right) When not in use, he chills like a badass on the front of the purse like a masterpiece from the heavens. FROM THE HEAVENS. So let me know what you think! I have an incredibly busy week coming up with the end of the semester winding down, so my posts may be a little less frequent, but you can bet you'll be seeing some dominatrix & skull inspired outfits coming up soon!
