New York, Funning it, Day 5! Uniqlo & NYCC

The morning of Saturday October the 13th, had a final leg of work. But, the afternoon was Mine all Mine! It was a beautiful day, warmer than I expected and yet chillier too.

I took some shots of LGA departure area.


I saw a Harbor.


Harboring good thoughts.

And of course, the Infamous Taxis. Quite entertaining, one of the drivers was blasting his music and dancing out of his cab while he helped his passengers with their luggage.


That afternoon, my old chum and her husband, a.k.a. her Babeh, picked me up. I was excited to see them, since it had been a couple of years. After changing at their place, I headed out to Manhattan... on the train!

I'm on a Train!

This is some Neat art I saw decorating the trains.



Where was I headed? Fifth Avenue!




I was running an errand for a friend and of course, shopping. Right away, I saw the NY Uniqlo clerks, flyering.

I want the Uniqoat.

I thought it was odd, an old style church next door to a GAP.


Self Reflection on 5th Avenue.

There it is!
This is a New Uniqlo in New York. Apparently, it's the Global Flag-post store, which the Voice over the P.A. system repeated. This store is Massive. Uniqlo is a nice shop to get basics in many colors. Also, they have nice collaborations with Anime, Manga, Artists, Stars and more!

Although one just opened in San Francisco prior to my trip to New York, I didn't have time to see it, so I was excited to shop at this Uniqlo in NY.


Uniqlo boasts several innovative technologies in terms of clothing. Pictured here is their Ultralight down items. There was a sale, so this is the Awesome Feeding Frenzy.

Ticker lights drive the Pandamonium.

Took advantage of the mirrors:



A Uniqlo staffer said he liked my outfit.

Floral hat: Handmade, except for Dolldelight bow and MintyMix lollipop
Necklace: MintyMix
Shirt and socks: Gloomy X Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Skirt: Frill by hNaoto
Jacket: Banana Republic (Gift from Amy L.)
Tights: Holley Tea Time
Shoes: Rockport

Orla Kiely collection! I believe Christina W. inseminated this artist into my mind, because she mentioned the collaboration. But it's cute stuff, so I don't mind.



My haul is at the end of this post.

Onward to New York Comic Convention, special thanks to hNaoto booth USA for giving me a reason to go!

Hangry & Angry hat, at NYCC

I found a Wild Manli.


Manli is decked out in Sixh Ibi's Nine. We have the same tank top!

The main reason I went to Uniqlo first before rushing to NYCC was to grab an essential item for Manli's cosplay.

What, the L.

YEAH DARKSTALKERS, where's Felicia?

Nerds!

L wants to eat it.

Just going to pose nicely next to you...

Like L, get into my mouth!

My photo does not show the Sparkly awesome that is this Lady. Her lips were glitter.

Awesome outfit!

You may have noticed my shots are blurry, well I was very hungry at this point. So Manli and I left NYCC and got some grub. We ate at Tick Tock Diner, which neither of us had tried before, but a nice girl who we walked & talked to on the way out of NYCC highly recommended it.


Yay, food.

Nuu.

Portabelly & Sweet Potes 

After dinner, we wandered into a Sephora.

Resisted urge to rub tester all over my belly.

Then, since everything but food was closed, we got some drinks. My first time at Tim Horton's.



Cafe~>

This was my First Uniqlo haul of the trip.





Not only did I indulge in the Orla Kiely collection, but I also found on-sale Mizumori Ado shirts! And, bought my first pair of Skinny Jeans.

I got essentials, such as tanks, tights, and socks. These socks are Uniqlo's Heat Tech material, supposedly holds the heat against your body like no other comfortable material.

Thanks for reading, I still have a few more days of New York to blog about, so come back soon.
