If you're looking for something fun to do while you're in New York for the weekend — add Maison Pickle to the list! This is a spot we've been wanting to try since we first saw that they have a 24-layer chocolate cake on the dessert menu — and we finally stopped by to test this deliciousness once and for all. We chose to swing by on a Friday night, and the restaurant proved to be a popular spot to other locals and visitors, too. When we left around 8 p.m., the restaurant was p

Thanks to the vintage-loving and thrifty Darby, we recently learned of a super cool vintage brand called The Break. It's located in Brooklyn, and considering Darby also just moved to New York — well, a trip to the shop was a no-brainer. The L & L girls reunited in New York for a some weekend fun, and of course — we stopped by The Break's NYFW party. It's as FROW as we've gotten thus far in our careers, and we enjoyed every second of it. The selection of vintage clothing they

Is there anything that Gigi can't do? With her latest collaboration with Maybelline, it really has us wondering. The Coast to Coast collections have some really cool palettes, lip pencils, lipsticks and more fit for multiple occasions! And if the makeup is good enough for Gigi to wear, we want to get our hands on it, too. There are three collections within the Coast to Coast collection: East Coast Glam Makeup, West Coast Glow Makeup, and Jetsetter Travel makeup. We thought it

In case you’re a writer who’s always dreamed of having a career in the big city (like me), here’s my honest opinion of New York after spending six days there. I had a romanticized "Sex and the City" vision of what this place would be like, and now I’m here to tell you all about the ways it lived up to my expectations, as well as the ways it fell a little short. Because not everyone can be Carrie Bradshaw, after all. First of all— a difference I noticed right off is with trans

Gossip Coffee was one of my favorite coffee shops I went to while in NYC. And lucky for me, it was really close to where I was staying. So that meant no subway ride for me, it was just a short walk away. It meant a lot. Gossip Coffee was the first coffee shop I went to during my summer in New York, and it was almost my last coffee stop before returning home. It was funny to see how my first walk there I had to have my directions on my phone and I got lost on my way back home

Saturday: Mood Fabrics & Times Square Finally it was time for my last weekend in NYC. I had to end it with a bang of course! I wanted to get everything done that I hadn’t had a chance to do yet! Yes, that meant going to all the places where some of my fav movies took place. I went on a little New York movie tour. I also needed to buy fabrics before I left all the amazing fabric stores with hundreds and hundreds of rows of fabrics. There were of course things I wanted to see o

Holey Cream Holey Cream's Address: 796 9th Ave, New York, NY 10019 For my 5th weekend I went to Holey Cream. It was one of the best dessert experiences in NYC yet! You can go there to get doughnuts, ice-cream, or wait for it… doughnut ice-cream sandwiches. Plain doughnuts or ice-cream are so boring so I went for the ice-cream sandwich- Or as they call it a dream donut sandwich. Which let’s just say I completely agree… it was a dream come true! It took me a few minutes to dec

The Yeezy Season 4 show took New York Fashion Week by storm. Leave it to ‘Ye to know just how to put on a show and get people talking. There were incredible looks that came down the runway (a model who stopped to take her shoes off), and overall it was a memorable performance. Of course, a few members of the Kardashian/Jenner clan were at the show. Kim Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner all showed up wearing pieces from the latest collection, and it was Kendall’s look that

Weekend 5: Saturday: My weekends in New York are winding down. After Augusta left, we really hit the New York ground hard, so I needed a relaxing weekend in the city. On Saturday no alarms were set. I slept in as late as I possibly could. I woke up and decided to head to a coffee shop. I ordered an iced mocha and a nutella cronut. Yes I couldn’t leave New York without trying that. Then I just came back to my apartment and netflixed the day away. Sunday: On Sunday I was ready

One thing to note about the Labels and Lacquer girls is that we love to travel and we love to eat. So when in New York City, we find the best spots to grub down in. We don't want to brag but desserts are our speciality too! We enjoyed every moment of hoping from subway to subway to get to our next eating destination. If you're in NYC or planning a trip, pencil these places into the to-do list! 1. People’s Pops NYC summers are HOT, HOT, HOT. So, when you’re doing a day of sigh
