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.

Pop Burger NYC

Found this little gem right across the street from FAO Schwartz. After hours of shopping I was so glad to see food of any kind. Lucky for me this place had yummy mini burgers (2 packed in a cute little box) and amazing fries. I swear they were the best that I had ever eaten- perfectly crunchy! Wish they would bring Pop Burger to the STL...

Where to Rome?

I am so excited to be planning our next vacation! This spring we have decided to make our first trip to Europe (be still my macaroon-loving heart). Given that we know very little about traveling the world outside of the United States, we started asking around for advice on when/where to go. To get the most out of our trip I decided to take a visit to a quaint little book store in Kirkwood to see if I could find a few informative books or travel guides. Of course I couldn't make it past the alluring wall of magazines without stopping for a few looks. I mean come on, it's the September fashion issues I'm talking about. We've narrowed the trip down to Paris and Rome or a tour of Italy (Positano, Pompeii, Capri, Amalfi coast...) so I bought a book for both. I can't wait to crack the covers and get the planning started!

Sleepless in Seattle

One of my fave things to do is to travel. It never matters when or where I go. Each city has something unique to offer and there is always an adventure to be found. While away from home I find myself collecting little goodies and treasure to bring home to my friends and family. My friend (and co-worker) Nieman just got back from Seattle and to my surprise she was thoughtful enough to bring me back a few things. We both had a good giggle over the Sleepless in Seattle chocolate. Really? How funny is that?
