My Second Home

Lady Gaga building board- amazing!


Empire State Building


Breathtaking!


Central Park


Being in the city during NYFW can be a bit overwhelming. Your schedule can fill up quite quickly with shows, parties and dinners with industry friends. While living in the Midwest, I am lucky enough to call NYC my second home this year. This was my third trip to this energy filled concrete jungle and I didn't miss a beat. Sure I got my fill of fashion shots to bring home and share but I also made a point to capture just how beautiful this city really is behind all of the hustle and bustle of daily life. These are just a few of my fave pics.

Gregorys Coffee



So I officially made it to NYC! My stomach is filled with butterflies for the IFB Conference. Still not sure what I am going to wear but I packed just about everything in my closet so there are options. This whole rainy weather thing is throwing my wardrobe planning way off. I'm spending the morning working at a coffee shop across the street from The Algonquin (one of my fave hotels). Cheddar and dill scone- yummy!

Serendipity


While in NYC for the first time, I just had to visit one of the most talked about eateries in the city- Serendipity. I spent the days before my trip visiting their website {take a look} and deciding what I would order and wondering if this place would actually live up to it's infamous name. My besties Dawn, Ashley and I arrived to the city by train (also my first time on public transportation!). Our first assignment was to find our lunch spot... 

We scampered through the crowded streets and after about 10 minutes we found Serendipity. Good thing we had reservations because there was a line waiting outside and we were hungry! We squeezed through the packed doorway and through the small entryway loaded with trinkets and odd items for sale. It was very reminiscent of the old flea markets my granny and I use to frequent when I was a little girl. This place was super small (which scared me). I kept wondering what I would do if there was a fire. The decor was whimsical and I took tons of pictures. You could definitely tell that I was a tourist but so were most of the people there I think.




The food wasn't really that good (I'm a picky eater) and the pop was flat but we had an experience to bring home none-the-less. We ended our lunch by trying the hyped frozen hot chocolate. It was amazing!


Ashley and our frozen hot chocolate...yummy!

Tiny bathroom. I am still wondering if this was the only stall in the place.
