The Williamsburg Bridge connects South Williamsburg to the Lower East Side. Both areas have changed in so many ways and have become very trendy. The Williamsburg Bridge is not the nicest looking bridge in New York, but the views from the bridge are still great and it's not a bad walk at all.
One thing I love to do whether it's fall, spring or summer (when it's not humid and hot) is to walk over the Williamburg Bridge. I use to walk over the bridge at least once or twice a year, but I wasn't able to the last two years. My boyfriend and I have been so busy we didn't have time to enjoy the more simple activities the city has to offer.
So finally last month we were able to walk over the bridge. We've walked over the bridge a couple of times before and finally this time the weather was on our side. I never feel scared when walking the bridge and there are plenty of people walking or riding their bikes. Some people go for a run on the bridge too, which I think is a great idea. I think running over the Williamsburg Bridge is almost liking being on your own of marathon. Plus you'll probably burn a bunch of calories and not even notice it since you're outside and enjoying the view.
The first time my boyfriend and I walked over the bridge was in the summer of 2008. I remember it because we had just started dating and I told him I never walked over it before. The only bad thing was we picked a really hot and humid day, which was a big fail on our part. Then another time we had walked over the bridge it was in the spring time and it had just gotten dark. There were still people around, but to be on the bridge at night was a little creepy. Then the J train was passing and I was a little jumpy at the times. Although it was dark there were still people walking and people riding their bikes. It just seems like people are always there.
So finally this time around we walked the bridge a little past six so the sun was almost about to go down and it wasn't as humid or hot as the first time around. The first few times we walked the bridge we never took any pictures, so I made sure we took pictures this time around. Although my boyfriend makes fun of me we still took the pictures anyways and it came out real cute. Who doesn't love a selfie here and there.
Walking the Williamsburg Bridge doesn't take long at all. I think it took us about forty five minutes to an hour and this was because we were taking our time. Once over the bridge we did go to the bar and got ourselves a beer. It just seemed like the right thing to do.
Another bridge I'll have to walk over is the Brooklyn Bridge. I think the views from there will be amazing and it's definitely something to do on my bucket list.

Daily Blog: Fall Nail Polish Colors
Today's Daily Blog is a little short, but that's because I decided to keep it short and sweet when talking about Nail Polish for Fall.
Once September comes around I say goodbye to all the bright and neon colors that I love to wear in the summer sadly. No more bright green, pinks, oranges or white. Summer is always a time to get crazy with your nails, but then when fall comes around you have to tone down the colors.
That's why neutral colors works best. My nails change with the season every year. For fall I like to wear neutral colors and a lot of browns, but it needs to be a light brown. If I wear anything pink it's a deeper pink and looks more rosy.
Deep reds are my favorite as well, but that's more for winter. For a more classic look you can never go wrong with a French manicure, but if you want to get a little funky with it do a reverse french manicure.
Whichever color or design you choose just remember to tone it down for fall : )

Daily Blog: When Do You Start Wearing Boots?
The weather is getting cooler and soon we'll have to put our sandals away. Although I'm sad that summer is coming to an end, I am excited about getting to wear my fall clothes.
Since it's only getting a bit cooler I love wearing my booties. I have a black pair of wedge booties that I leave in my office and for the weekend I have a grey suede pair of wedge booties. I got my grey booties about three or four years ago from Payless and they still look brand new since I don't wear them all the time. Plus I take care of shoes very well.
Then I also have a pair of brown Aldo boots with a two inch heel. These boots are so comfortable and when I'm just hanging out with my girls or my boyfriend these are one of my favorite go to boots.
Once the weather gets a lot colder like November that's when I start wearing my knee high boots. My favorite pair are my Nine West wedge boots. Nine West has been one of my favorite brands for as long as I can remember. They're very comfy and very affordable too. I use to pay crazy amount of money for shoes, but as I got older brand names weren't important to me as much.
A pair of boots that I treated myself too were my knitted Uggs. When it's super cold outside I wear my Uggs and my feet are nice and toasty, plus they're very comfortable to walk in. Another pair of boots I recommend to everyone are my purple Hunter Boots. These boots are the best for rainy days and snow days. I've had my Hunter Boots for over three years and they're the best. I have the high boot, but I'd like a shorter one so I can wear it in the fall or spring. Sometimes when walking in the high ones it might get too heavy on you.
So there it is, some of my favorite boots and when I like to wear them.
