Just as quick as Monday came around, it's already over. Thank goodness! I don't know about you, but Monday's are my busiest day of the week. Especially since I had off last Friday...I was playing catch up today. Looks like I'll be doing the same thing next week since I have this Friday off too (not that I'm complaining! Hooray for Summer Fridays!!!). 

I'm definitely looking forward to this weekend though. I might be hanging out with a friend on Friday and going back to my most favorite Chinese restaurant ever...Saturday is my 6 year wedding anniversary and we're planning on celebrating at Public (just like we did last year)...and Sunday afternoon I get to meet 1/2 of Asian Cajuns since Lar will be in town!!!

Until I start counting down the days to an awesome weekend, let me recap this past week.

I love my dog. I love Pimm's cup. And I really love dog friendly bars (so does my dog).

This picture is one of my favorite photos I have ever taken on my phone. Rocko loves hanging out by the waterfront. It's so peaceful to him.

This was an insanely early dinner at Allswell. Love this place. Love their wallpaper.

NEWSFLASH: I wore pants last week. That never happens. Halfway through the day I remember why...pants never fit me right. Give me my dresses and skirts any day!

*Snapshot Fashion Turns 6*

Snapshot Fashion turns six today! I have to say, I can't believe that my blog has been around for six years already. Through the ups and downs...the days where I'd get sick of blogging...the days that I loved it...the wonderful people I have met...the fantastic events I was able to attend...and the ongoing correspondence with loyal readers and other bloggers...it was all worth it!

I would love to know what you all would like to see from me and my blog over the next year. More of my personal style? More celebrity style posts? More sales notifications? I want to know exactly what you want to read. You name it, you got it. Even though this blog is my baby, I do this for you all!

Thank you all again for your support through the years. It means more to me than you will ever know!!!

Mini Getaway: San Francisco

Well I've been back from San Francisco for not quite a week...but I have been meaning to share photos of my trip with you all week long. Some of you probably have seen some of them already (especially if you follow my instagram, personal Facebook account, Twitter, or my photography's Facebook account)...but for those of you that haven't, here we go!

Alamo Square was one of my favorite spots in the city! The homes were stunningly beautiful, with an amazing view of downtown...and of course it reminds us all of Full House!

I couldn't get enough of the Golden Gate Bridge. Even standing in front of it...it didn't seem real. Who knew a bridge could be so pretty!?!?!

My husband's favorite picture of the trip.  :)

Having fun on the beautiful sidewalks of San Fran!

This was the house that Chris lived in when he lived in San Francisco. My husband was so shocked that they changed the colors of the house since he moved (over 10 years ago!).

Our friend Christina took about 8 photos of this AMAZING jacket that some random girl was wearing in the bar we were in. Hello San Francisco fashion! Loving it!!!

Hanging out with our dear friend Christina. Be sure to check out her amazing music.

Yes, I did use the Valencia filter in instagram on this photo. I'm so nerdy.

Mid bark.

They are so cute...but they smelled so bad.

The colors in this scene literally stopped me in my tracks. I had to take a photo of them...they were so pretty! Soon after a crazy man jumped out from behind a tree branch he was hiding behind, making me scream. Everyone on the sidewalk laughed at me. Ugh.

We had the one of the best meals in San Francisco ever here. It was amazing! Head to Valencia in the Mission District to Range Restaurant...it was so over the top fantastic. The kale salad I started with was the best kale of my life. The drinks were over the top! And the best part was they gave these teeny tiny vanilla macarons with our check. They were so good I just melted in my seat. If I ever go back to SF, I will be heading there again.

Such a great trip! We really needed that...even though it was only a few days. We literally haven't had a real vacation like this in like five and a half years. Where to go to next...

Any ideas?????

California Dreamin'

I'm saying goodbye to NYC for a few days. My husband and I are currently on an airplane heading to San Francisco. I'm beyond excited, as this is my first trip to San Francisco...and actually my first trip to California! Be sure to follow along on my instagram, and stay tuned next week as I plan on sharing some of my photos with all of you on my blog.

Until then, much love from the west coast!

Happy Birthday To Me...

Today is my 33rd birthday. Birthdays in my 30's don't seem to be quite as fun or exciting as my birthdays in my 20's were. The last few birthdays were kind of depressing if I'm being quite honest. But, I'm kind of excited to see how my 33rd year will play out. So far, this year is pretty good...I can't complain! 

So, here's to 33!!!

Well it is official. Christmas week is here! Tonight I'm celebrating with my husband and dog, then tomorrow we are heading out to Long Island for two Christmas Eve celebrations, and then on Wednesday we're heading back to Brooklyn and my parents will be stopping over (which reminds me, I need to clean!). It's going to be a fun and busy next few days.

I know I'll be updating my Instagram over the next few days...so please, feel free to follow along!

Here are some highlights from the last week or so...

I just posted 5 years worth of mall Santa photos from my childhood (1984-1988).

From the streets of Williamsburg.

My new favorite treat. I like to sprinkle a handful of this over some nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Makes an amazing breakfast.

Love this old photo of my Grandma enjoying the holidays.

Rocko just got a haircut a few days ago. Took this shot when we got home from the groomer. He was sporting a new holiday scarf. Adorable!

What are your holiday plans??? Heading out of town? Going to any parties? 

P.S. If you have an Instagram account that I'm not following yet, LET ME KNOW! I'd love to follow along!!!

Blogging in Brooklyn

Hello everyone! It has been way too long. And let me start out by a sincere apology to all of my regular readers. Not to make excuses to a lack of posts (don't you just hate when people do that?), but 1) our computer died and we had to get a new one. I would have posted via the Blogger app...but the app is absolutely terrible, and 2) we moved! Yesterday we moved from the Upper East Side to Williamsburg in Brooklyn. And can I just say that I'm loving it! I have been packing like a maniac over the last week or two. My husband and I have both moved a lot, but this was the first time we had movers moving us. It was the best decision we have ever made. I'd recommend Get There Moving to anyone! Two guys showed up at our UES apartment at 8am, packed up their truck and unloaded everything into our Brooklyn apartment by 10:10am! Just over two hours. They were amazing.

Enjoying the view from our living room window.

I'm in love with this water tower. So very Brooklyn.

Thanks so much for sticking with me and for all the kind messages I received via Twitter and Instagram. I'm back and better than ever. So get ready for a ton of new posts coming your way.

P.S. I know there are a ton of Brooklyn fashion/shopping/lifestyle bloggers out there. If you have a blog and are in the area, let me know! I'd love to check it out.

Are you enjoying your Labor Day weekend as much as I am? The weather here pretty much sucks (humid, sticky, and rainy), but other than that this weekend has been pretty great. Actually, the last week or so has been pretty fantastic. Here are some highlights of my last week via Instagram---

The bangs are back!

Got the best deals at Urban Outfitters and Brooklyn Industries yesterday.

Yesterday my husband and I went to our favorite fish & chips joint for lunch in Brooklyn. I swear they have the best fish & chips outside of London!

I can't get enough of this little fluffball.

My husband's cousin (on the right) and her friend are visiting NYC from Switzerland. Had a great time out with them last weekend. Such sweet girls!

Where would I be without Instagram...seriously? I'm obsessed with taking photos and I know I use the app way too much. If you aren't following me on there yet, get to it: @snapshotfashion. Here are some highlights over the last week and a half, in case you missed them.

My lhasa-poo got a haircut. Short and cool for the summer. He was so proud of this haircut that he pranced the entire way home with this huge smile on his face!

Sammy Davis Vintage invited me to the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn to take event photos of a Vintage Sellers/SEO Event she was hosting. Oh yeah, not only do I do portrait photography, but I take event photos too! Be sure to check out Diane Dulgerian Photography for more information.

I made the most amazing strawberry jam! It was super simple (only three ingredients) and so delicious!

My husband and I headed to Brooklyn Heights for lunch. We came across the Henry Street Ale House...which was the perfect pub. If you go there try the turkey club. It had Granny Smith apples in it and tarragon mayo which made it amazing! Best turkey club of my life.

Poor Rocko got so sick this week. He spent the majority of Wednesday in my bed. He's all better now though...thank goodness.

Are you on Instagram? If so be sure to let me know so I can follow along. I love keeping up with my readers and fellow bloggers.

Snapshot Fashion: What Do You Want To See?

Hello lovely readers! I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend. The last few days have been great for me...minus the insanely hot and humid heat here in NYC. My husband took some days off of work, our friend is visiting from California, and we have just been making the most out of living in NYC. Today we're heading to Smorgasburg in Williamsburg. I cannot wait to dig in to a goodwich ice cream sandwich from The Good Batch. It is one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life (and I have been dreaming about it ever since I had one a month and a half ago). It will make the heat so much more bearable. After a fun lunch there we're going to head to Union Square for a free (and fancy) wine tasting. Such a fun afternoon in store! What are your plans??? Anything fun?

I wanted to reach out to all of you to get your opinion. What would you all like to see in the future on Snapshot Fashion? Are there certain posts you like to see more than others? Do you like to read about celebrity fashion? Do you prefer to see my personal style? Do you enjoy all of my sale updates? Let me know what you like...and even what you don't care for. Maybe there is a specific type of post that I don't normally do that you would enjoy reading. Let me know!!! No matter what your opinion is, I'd love to hear it!

I hope you all have a great weekend...and don't forget to slather on that SPF!!! That sun is intense.

I hope you all have been having a great week and a fun 4th of July!!! The last week or so has been rather hectic for me. Running around NYC, going to parades, and having my friend visit from California...it's been kind of crazy! Not that I'm complaining. I have been updating my Instagram even more than my blog (I know, I know...bad blogger). Make sure you follow along on my Instagram to stay up to speed with me.

Here are some highlights from my week...

I have the cutest dog in the entire world...seriously.

I can't even take this crazy humidity we have been having in NYC anymore. I do my hair in the morning, walk outside, and then it ends up looking like THIS! Why do I even bother???

My husband makes the best dinners ever!!!

Peace, love, and equality. Fun times spent at the Pride Parade.

My friend Christina is visiting for the week!!! This morning we spent some quality time in Central Park.

Snapshot Fashion Turns 5

Today is a very special day! Snapshot Fashion is turning five!!! Seems like just yesterday I decided to start this blog. Did I expect it to last five years? Honestly, I never really thought much of it. Just thought of it as a hobby, as a way to express myself, and a creative outlet where I could share my love of fashion and shopping. I am so proud to be a part of the fashion blogging community, and can't wait to see where this year takes my blog.

And now I'd like to ask you...what would you like to see more of on Snapshot Fashion??? Please let me know. I love the feedback!

*Wedding Weekend*

So you may remember a few months back when I was asking for your help to pick out a bridesmaid dress for my friend Holly's wedding. After having it sit in my closet for months I finally get to wear it this weekend!!! I can't tell you how tempted I was to wear it, but I know how clumsy and messy I can be. I could only imagine ripping it or spilling something on myself...so I resisted!

Today my husband and I are heading to the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. This afternoon we'll be going on a wine tasting...which I am so excited for! I have never been on one. Hanging out with friends and enjoying some yummy wine??? Sounds like an ideal afternoon to me! Saturday during the day we'll have the morning/early afternoon to ourselves. Not really sure what we'll do (we aren't very outdoorsy or into nature/hiking)...but will probably do some sightseeing and check out the surrounding areas. Then Saturday night is the big event!!! I'm just so overjoyed for her...and let's hope I can hold back the tears (which is rather doubtful since I cry at every episode of My Fair Wedding).

If you want to follow along on my wedding weekend adventures, be sure to follow my instagram! I'll be updating it regularly...as long as there is cell reception up there!

How's everyone's week shaping up? Mine has been super busy...and will be for the next few days. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Busy is good! I have a lot of errands and chores to do over the next couple days, I'll be photographing a shoot for my new muse Sammy Davis Vintage this weekend, and I'm going to get my hair cut later this afternoon (yay!).

Often when I get super busy I tend to find myself on Instagram sharing updates with my readers more often than on my blog...just because it is quicker. Here are some highlights of this past week!

Finally checked out Joe Fresh and bought a few key pieces.

My husband cooked up a Turkish feast for dinner earlier this week. Yum!!!

My Charlotte Ronson sandals that I think are so cute. Too bad they kill my feet! Peep toes never seem to work for me...I honestly think my toes are too fat for them. Seriously! I might be selling them soon. Let me know if you are interested.

Did a photoshoot with Sammy in SoHo.

I hate it when my dog gives me the sad eyes! *Melts my heart!*

Trying to be a little more boho with a headscarf (totally out of my comfort zone!).

What have you been up to this week? I can't believe the weekend is right around the corner. Do any of you have exciting weekend plans???

And...are you following me on Instagram yet???
