Here are a few snapshots from our weekend in New York with our mom. We had an amazing time exploring the city together. Here are a few of the places we visited! Molly's Cupcakes wins new best cupcake of my life. The crème brûlée cupcake was incredible. We love the swings too!
Magnolia Bakery had some pretty amazing cheesecake (our mom's favorite!). We also did a lot of shopping, relaxing and saw Mary Poppins on Broadway. :)
Thanks for taking a look at our New York trip! We're excited to be home and back to work for the week! We have tons of plans for July… it's going to be a great month! xo. elsie
PS. There are a few more New York snapshots over at Everyday Elsie & Everyday Emma.

Your pictures are great. I especially love the one of Emma in focus with the blurred background. What setting did you use? Also, what cameras are you ladies holding in the pic of all 3 of you. Hope you had a good time!
Apple shaped sunglasses!? How wonderful!

Cupcakes, cheesecake, yum! I love all the photos, and those glasses are fab!
Your pictures are amazing! This has made me really want to go back to New York and have a proper look around the city (last time I visisted was on a school trip all the way from the UK so the whole visit was very structured!)

I have never been to New York, but these photos are gorgeous and have ignited a small part in me that now would really love to visit myself! <3
Beautiful pics of my 2nd favorite city {San Francisco has my heart, but then I was born there so I’m biased :}

I love your vintage style photos! Beautiful and inspiring! Makes me want to jump on a plane for NYC tonight with my camera!
I have been gobbling up these photos. I just moved to the city last week and am still trying to get my footing. Those pastry shops you mentioned are now on my list of places to satisfy a sweet tooth. Would it be possible to list some of the other places you shopped and ate (& drank). I love taking recommendations because they shuffle me around different parts of the city and guarantee a treat.
NY is so amazing, I can’t wait to go there again! Congrats on your fun trip!
LOVE! I just went to Molly’s cupcakes TODAY in Chicago!! So funny! They are awesome!!! Glad you are having a great time!!
I have been looking everywhere for GAP perfume. I’ve loved Dream since Tenth Grade! Where did you find it if you don’t mind telling me? PLEASE!

Beautiful! Looks like you guys had the best time over there. NY is my favorite city in the world. I love Emma’s green dress. Do you mind me asking where she got it? 🙂 xo
My oh my, you are so lucky to have been to NY!
I only wish (screw wishing I will make it happen!) to go there the end of next year.

Question, is that swing set counter seating?! I want to do this in my house!
Looks like you ladies had a wonderful time! New York sounds so loud and vibrant, I want to go there so badly!

Who makes the apple sunglasses? I’m probably too old for them anyway, but I’d still like a pair.
mmmm. This post brought back really good memories for me. My husband and I used to travel to NYC quite a bit when we lived in Virginia. My brother used to live in the city and it was so easy to drive and stay at his place and peruse the city at our leisure! Now we live in Portland, Oregon, so sadly we do not get there often! We too loved Mary Poppins on Broadway!
I wish to go there someday, looks a lovely city
you rock girls
Thanks for the blog tips – I’m saving to hire a freckled nest genius 🙂
I saw Mary Poppins on broadway last year. It was a must see for me, as it is one of my top two fave children’s movies EVER! I’m so very jealous of your trip to Magnolia! I just bought one of their cookbooks at a thrift shop for $2 and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since.
How fun!!!

Q: I have been looking everywhere for GAP perfume. I’ve loved Dream since Tenth Grade! Where did you find it if you don’t mind telling me?
A: It’s from Gap.
Q: Question, is that swing set counter seating?!
A: Yep! It’s pretty cute, huh?
Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
Ah I love Mary Poppins! Always have since I was a little girl… it must have been magical to see on Broadway! Anywho, I love that you’re wearing your apple sunglasses in the Big Apple. And how your photography captures the little personal moments and the feel of a big city. <3, m.
All that pastry looks so yummy!!!!

i love the sandals – where are these from? i tried looking through some previous posts so forgive me if you already mentioned it!
your trip looks like so much fun!!
curious – where did you get the sandals in the second to last photo? they are so gorgeous and i want a pair 🙂
I adored your Big Apple glasses! I used to be an Astoria gal myself, so I loved the city reminders, those quaint corners where cupcakes rule, great inspiration lurks around each new bend, and when Mary clicks her heels up over the audiences head! Cheers to a wonderful week;)
SO cute! I love NYC very much – you are all so lucky!
Love,

The cafe with the swings looks so cute! I visited New York 4 years ago and loved it, although I only spent 3 days in the city and didn’t get to see half of the things that were on my list. Next time I visit, I’ll definitely check out the cupcake store!
Do you have any thrift store recommendations for NY?
Love NYC, love the way you show it to us
your pictures are amazing
Looking forward to seeing your projects to july!

Great pictures! Cupcakes and swings? That’s the best!
I LOVE Mary Poppins (and already saw it twice^^). Isn’t it just great when she flies away or when Bert dances “over the roofs of London”? Just magical 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful time but your photos look so great, I guess it’s impossible you had anything else but a blast 🙂
Your mom must be so proud of you! 🙂
You three look absolutely gorgeous!
New York is my city and it’s the best city in the whole world!
Wonderful pics! I’ve spent a couple of hours in NY but it wasn’t enough – must go back! 🙂
I love all these photos! I love your blog! I have been reading it for a while and I love it!!

New York is just full of inspiration, isn’t it.

Kisses to you all and thank you for the insight into your beautiful life Elsie xxxx

aawh, love those photos! I wanna go to new york so badly haha
magnolia bakery is one of my alltime favorite NYC places!!!
and emma- where did you get that pretty green dress??
Found the apple glasses at Urban Outfitters in case anyone was wondering. They also come in green and yellow, but I think the red is the cutest.
OH MY GOODNESS! I have always wanted to own a cafe, and if I ever do, I SO want to use that swing idea! That is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!
lovely photos!

We ADORE your blog and would LOVE for you to have dibs and check out some images we recently styled and shot for the 4th of July. Interested?? What is the easiest way to get to show you?? Thank you so much for the awesome work you two do!!!
Those cakes look divine! I miss NYC so much.

emma i love this green floral dress so much! where do you got it from? 🙂
These pictures are great! I would also like to know where you got those precious matching sandles. They are so cute! And I bet they are comfy!
Nice snapshots 🙂
I also Mary Poppins a few of years in London and now I’m living in London and playing the role of Mary Poppins, but in real life 🙂
thank you for such a beautiful view of my city! it’s so cool that you guys where here.
Those apple sunglasses are amazing! I have a pair but they were rather cheap so they don’t look half as cool!
Looks like you had the most incredible time! 🙂 xoxo
Love the three-ladies-photographer picture. so spontaneous.
