New York Fashion Week may have been a rough one, but there’s one thing to count on, fantastic food! With so many delicious destinations to chose from, New York City will always be a foodie’s paradise.
Today on the blog, I am sharing a couple of restaurants I had the pleasure of dining at and recommend checking out if you’re ever in New York...
Escaping the hustle and bustle of city life in favor of quieter suburban streets proved to be the refresher we needed. It’s The Time Nyack to the rescue! (Read Pt.1 and Pt.2 of my NYFW Diaries.)
Happy to see the infamous bright red front door that bled into a long edgy lobby. Happy to check into our spacious, eclectic room with a large baroque mirror and an overall energetic rocker vibe. To me, a symbol of a fresh start, a reset button to erase all previous letdowns...
Day three of Fashion week landed on a rainy Saturday. By this point, the fashion festivities have come to a halt, not by choice but for good. Amongst the myriad of things gone wrong, (read first post here) an unproductive and moody Saturday tops the list. While terrible trips are a rarity, when it goes down, it sinks to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. Life knows no balance here...
11:55 PM redeye flight from LAX to JF Kennedy left me tired, dazed and confused. So much so, Thursday had to be canceled, opting for a long snooze session over fashion week festivities. On a positive note, I’m pretty sure Thursday, February 8, 2018, marks the day I mastered public transportation. I guess you can say; I’m officially New Yorker material. There’s always a good lol...
I entered the Saku New York show partially exhausted and admittingly with minimal knowledge of the brand. Little did I know, the show would be one of the highlights of my NYFW 2017 experience.
This time around, I attended a couple of shows as a photographer rather than a guest. And for Saku, a photographer. Ten minutes late to the show photographer, unfortunately. As you can imagine, upon arrival, I stumbled out of my Lyft car like a tumbleweed, only to be greeted by a line as long as time. Luckily for me, a photographer's pass meant bye bye line.
New York Fashion Week 2017 officially marks my third time visiting New York City during the brutal winter season. And after multiple visits and many, “I’m on the brink of frostbite” experiences, I’ve gotten extremely pro at layering for warmth. So on my blog today, I thought I’d share some of my tips and tricks for conquering the frigid temperates of New York winters.
I’m also sharing three outfits I wore to New York Fashion Week that kept me warm and stylish. This year was by far the best and busiest NYFW because I had the pleasure of working as a photographer for shows, doing back to back showroom collaborations, and media tastings.
On a quiet Monday evening, my giddy team and I excitedly made our way to our nearest metro station, wobbling down the stairs to catch our train. Our destination? Blenheim, where a feast of champions awaited us.
A quickie train ride teleported us to the ever charming, West Village where I continued to wobble along as we made the rest of our journey on foot. Wet cobblestone pavement and 4” Ferragamo’s; not the smoothest of combos.
