Boston for the weekend

After a much needed break I am back in the city. And funny enough I had a little city getaway 2.0. 

I went to Miami last week and then my bff surprised me with a little trip to Boston which I gotta say, made me want to go traveling x10! 

I've never been those obsessed with travel, don't get me wrong, I for sure want to see the world, but lately it's been something that my mind craves more and more like the air I need to breathe and that ladies and gentlemen has never happened before. 

What did we do in Boston? 

We went near Quincy Market which is one of the most recommended places I've gotta say! But we didn't actually go there, instead we had awesome fish tacos at Chart House, which was lovely being outside in the sun even though was freezing! 

What to see? 

If I have one thing to recommend when going to Boston is DEFINITELY going to Harvard, it woke up the little girl in me and reminded me how much I wanted to attend when I was little! It was definitely a dream of mine and being able to walk around the campus and buying myself a Harvard sweater was amazing! 

It is such a great feeling when you make your dreams come true. 

After this weekend I definitely want to take a car more often and just drive around NY to see what other places I can visit! And you should do that too wherever you are!

The MET

I cannot begin to tell you how bless I feel to live in a city that holds one of my favorite museums of all time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ugh, it is seriously stunning and every time I have a chance I go there, maybe I see everything again and again, but really this museum is a must when visiting NYC. One of my favorites is the renaissance paintings aisle or salon, because it reminds me of the Louvre, which I definitely need to go back since when I went to Paris we literally saw the Mona Lisa and the Venus, so it is def a must when I go to Paris again this year.

But Renaissance painting is something that makes me wonder for hours. I don't know if it happens to you or not but every time I see a painting I stare at it thinking what they were thinking at that exact time, what was the artist listening, what were the "models" thinking, what was the context of the painting and what was going on in their surroundings. 

To be honest I am not sure if I know how to read art or if  you are supposed to "read" it, but I love just seeing every little corner of the painting imagining or just paying attention to the strokes of the brush, the color combination and the whole story in just one piece of canvas. 

I went to see the Michelangelo exhibit at the MET in November-ish and it was fabulous although I am not too much of a drawing person I rather like paintings but some sculptures really caught my attention like the one below. 

I went back last Sunday to see what I love the most which was the renaissance paintings and also had the chance to eat my first ever giant pretzel and it didn't disappoint!

Deadly combination

I've never been a fan of red. Never.  But when I saw this Tommy Hilfiger bag back in Chile I absolutely needed to get it, I did ask for a blue one but they didn't have it, so this baby girl went back home with me. As far as the shoes, I've always, always, wanted leopard booties but never seemed to find exactly what I was looking for, I wanted them to be like mohair or something similar but the strands not to be too long and overall it was a hustle to find the perfect pair. But I saw these booties on ASOS and I needed to get them, and yes I needed them.

Things that make me happy

Play 'Here comes the sun' by The Beatles.

I've never been a Beatles fan, not because I don't like them, is just I really never listen to them, but there's one song that I love and is not the above one, but it sounds amazing as a soundtrack for this post. Things that make me happy ... There are a ton, but I'll try to summarize for the sake of my fingers and your eyes.
