I am ready to return to my New York life tomorrow. Even though it's only been two weeks, I feel as though I've spent as much time as possible in Iowa before my mind reaches its limit. I am eager to journey back to the gym and see some of my city friends. Before my trek home, however, I made sure to pick up a few goods.

I was shopping for a new suitcase to bring back to NYC when I happened upon these beautiful shoes. Some may say they lack style, and others will love them. Personally, I fell for the pair as soon as I saw them.

Not only did they have my size in stock, but the shoes were also on sale. I had a ten-dollar reward and a 20 percent off coupon waiting in my account. I walked out of the store with my 16 dollar shoes. My head was held high as I rolled the now stuffed-with-stuff suitcase down the ramp.

This hoodie is a safer option for my wardrobe. One of the racks at Hot Topic was lined with all sorts of Domo merch. There were Domo sweaters, shirts, hats, and even keychains available. I stuck with the sweatshirt and a hat. It was one of the many Christmas presents from my parents.

This is the $5 shirt Carrie was looking for. My dad gifted me this shirt for Christmas, and i have been loving it ever since. The shirt is soft, and it fits the character of my lifestyle perfectly. I put it on for the first time in front of him and screamed with excitement.
