I packed just as much in the last 24 hours of NYC as I did perhaps the first 4 days there. On my last night I attended the Juicy Couture after party, where the champagne, mango margaritas, and french macaroons were abundant (overindulgent heaven!) It was raining, so I decided to give my feet a much needed break from 4 inch elevation and wore my Tory Burch revas. You know your feet are angry with you when even flats feel like daggers in your feet. Pictured here with my friend Natalie who was gracious enough to let me and half of my closet take over her NYC apartment for 5 nights, and blogger Andi from Tights and Bites.
Monday was spent running around with another stop in Brooklyn to hit up the adorable Fred Flare which I’d been dying to go to for months. Everyone from my cab driver to the sweet store manager, Bilgin, knew I was completely giddy to be shopping there. Left an even happier girl with a cross body leopard print purse and a military inspired shirt dress with leather detailing.
I finally went to the holy grail of New York Fashion Week, the Lincoln Center…
Heaven on earth…(cue angels singing)
Here I attended a blogger ‘tweet up’ which was hosted in the American Express skybox suite. I met Mr. Mickey from Papermag, who is such a fabulous divo.
Regretfully it was finally time to head back to the homeland, and after single-handedly dragging my 58 pound suitcase and god-knows-how-heavy overstuffed carry on (see brown faux fur on ground pictured below) and purse down 6 flights of an un-airconditioned staircase, my friend BJ was kind enough to spare me one last taxi ride and took me to the airport himself.
And so concludes 5 fab days in my favorite concrete jungle.

I have the exact same dress you’re wearing in your first pic, and I love it! I usually do it up all prim and proper for work with the bow tied and patent leather shoes and a matching belt. Very cute!

I love that last look- jumpsuit is so chic! :)
AAAAAAAAAh Come back soon! I had so much fun with you. You should have convinced me to go to that Juicy after party. True Blood could have waited.
So Haute Hippie on Billion Dollar Babes today…thought of you- that 30s fringed and sequined mini is screaming for you

Well, next fashion week instead of offering to pay me, make sure to get a more flattering picture. I’m glad I was part of your adventure!
I absolutely loved reading this. You can just tell how excited and happy (and exhausted in the end!) you were for the trip! Lucky!
Major score on the leopard. It looks great on you!!
Have a great weekend!

So sad that NYFW is now at the Lincoln Center and no longer in Bryant Park, it was so fun to just walk up 42nd and see the tents and everyone rushing about!
But I can see why they picked Lincoln Center, which is the most popular congress spot – that’s also where they usually hold ComiCon.
I miss NYC, and once again I missed the IFB conference, so I am reading all the posts to try to partially make up for that by living vicariously through you and everyone else who was there :-)
