While Phoenix might not be big enough to demand a weeknight more important than Wednesday, the venue was still quite packed, and they did not disappoint. At all.
The trip, the late night and my day at work on three hours of sleep was completely worth it.
Whenever I'm in NYC I always see women in these sky high heels. I admire them, but I can not be them. I went for my booties with the 1" wedge. And a small cross body bag, because I like to be hands free when navigating (which I am awful at) or to be able to easily grab my camera.
The sky was brilliant and purple, and of course we passed through Times Square on the way to Madison Square Garden.
Even though we were in the nosebleeds, we were at least in the front row of them, haha.
We also showed up at 7:15, because we thought we needed to be early for some reason. Clearly no one else thought this.
Of course I would love to gush about every song they played; I won the impromptu bet with the people sitting next to us about what song they would open with, Liztomanaia; they preformed my favorite song, If I Ever Feel Better during the encore and Daft Punk magically appeared on the stage and played with them, which then bled into Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, and they finished with an amazing mix of 1901.
I'm not going to put up the youtube videos, okay!
(they aren't very good anyway, but I've already watched half a dozen.)

This fortune made me laugh.
P.S. I passed by Banana Republic and saw they had signs for 40% off already reduced items (aka my favorite sign in the world) - but I was strong and didn't buy anything!
Love both your outfits!!!! I'm not much of a concert person since there are so many people, haha
ReplyDeleteHehe, that is a good fortune too ;)
And good girl with not buying anything! :)

I love that floral top so much! I've never heard Phoenix, but I do love me some Daft Punk. I'll have to check Phoenix out.... Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteAdd "in the bed" to your fortune cookie. Always makes it so much better. :D
ReplyDeleteAWE I hope you had fun! You look adorable in your one inch high boots and then your floral top is adorable. :) I get to places early, too.. hehe, I know the feeling!~ I usually get to school before my teachers. :D;;
Haha yea, its the weekends that kill me too XD
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to return 2 things that I got so that will put me $15 under budget, but I'm still gonna try no to buy anything anyway, haha :P
So deal! We don't buy anything!! (unless something totally perfect comes up ;) )
oh wow, i LOVE that top in the bottom picture! is it a recent purchase?
ReplyDeleteI work 2 blocks from MSG...and I was probably still at work when you got out of the concert!
ReplyDeleteI have given up on heels after them slowing me down and missing the subway...and realizing how ridiculous women look when they hobble down the subway stairs, making everyone behind them held up. At this point it just enrages me - learn how to walk well in them or don't wear them at all! Grr.
NYC in the fall is great (Xmas time is awesome, too). Looks like a great time-love Phoenix, so cool!
ReplyDeleteLOL - really cute post! From the NY trip to arriving early to the concert to the fortune cookie to resisting the BR sale...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous night! I am so jealous you are that close to NYC.
ReplyDeleteI agree on the heels thing in New York. I don't know how some girls do it. I'm all about comfort!
I really really love that outfit! And its super flattering on you, the colors and fit are fantastic! Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love Phoenix but I have yet to see them live! They played at Lollapalooza this year, which I usually go to, but I had a wedding that weekend (Rad was in it, so you may have seen related posts over at TCC).
ReplyDeleteI am so terrible at concert dressing - I go for practical, which never seems to look good. But I just love what you put together! It looks comfy and cute.
PS - It's never been like that, it's never been like that, it's never been like that...
ReplyDeleteCouldn't resist adding on to the post title :)
Glad you had a great time!:D Loving your second outfit, so polished!:D

Never heard of Phoenix but I can totally relate to the excitement of going to see your favorite band.
ReplyDeleteoh... NYC I can only say I am totally envious...
Reading about being at the Madison Square Garden totally reminds me of the walks I had around there.. I have an aunt who had a restaurant nearby and I remember going to NYC and having the best time ever...
ohhhh NY you lucky bum.. I have not been there yet.. am envious!! you must have had a great time and good for you for exercising restraint at the 40% discount sign.. a girl must contain herself once in awhile :)
ReplyDeletecheers,
j
Ooh, I just started hearing Phoenix around here, thats so cool you got to see them!
ReplyDeleteI like your city style - I'm with you on the heels thing.
Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteI never wore heels except for the office! That and New Yorkers cab it and subway around a lot!
Your peacoat is adorable!

Love the top in the next to last pic!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to NYC so I am highly jealous! It sounds like a great night, and you looked lovely too. I just can't walk around a big city in heels - I only really wear them for short walks or if I'm going to be in a car - so I totally understand!
ReplyDelete♥ Leia

ReplyDeleteThanks a million for your nice comment! Follow your lovely Blog now. Follow me back? xx, Alice :)
ReplyDeleteI love Phoenix! Glad you had a fun time. And sky high heels are definitely not compatible with gigs, even ones in NYC!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Phoenix!!! Glad you got to see them :D Haha that fortune made me laugh, too. It was like forcing you to realize what you are by posing a challenge. Isn't a fortune enough to just make you feel good and not pushing you off your butt to do something? lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit - love the pop of color!!! Hope you had a great time in NYC!!!
ReplyDeleteXOX,
