Another week in NYC in the books, but this past week in particular made realize how lucky I am to be living in such an amazing city. On Monday, I attended my very first NYFW event. On Tuesday, I wandered around downtown and was humbled by all of the police officers and first responders dressed in full uniform (thank you for your service!). And from my very own bedroom, I could see the Tribute in Light, two very bright columns of light shining from downtown.
It’s only been 2.5 weeks since I moved here, but there are plenty of plans already in the works and I can’t wait to share them with you all. For now, here’s a few photos of what I’ve been up to via Instagram.
