this past week.

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.

Had to take my laptop in to the Apple Store, so I took it to the coolest one in NYC!

A glimpse of Fashion’s Night Out — which doesn’t depict how insane it was!

Dinner date with an NYC bestie!

Cocktail glasses waiting to be poured at my first NYFW event with Mauricio Alpizar!  Cheers!

play it cool.

The weather is cooling down in NYC and I’m starting to rotate in longer sleeves, warmer layers, and thicker textures like tweed.  Color is definitely still a mainstay in my wardrobe and this blue and turquoise combo definitely reflects my excitement of the cooler temps to come.

first week.

The view from my bedroom window.

It’s nearly been a week since I’ve been in NYC and today it finally hit me (during the most mundane activity) that I live here.  I’ve been patiently waiting for that moment to hit and when it did, I could not stop smiling.  For the past few months, I’ve been anxiously anticipating the big move, but for that one moment today, I felt overwhelmed with elation.  I’m so happy to be here and so lucky to have a few amazing friends that have taken me in during my first week.  I can’t wait to share all of my adventures with you, but for now, check out a few stunning views of NYC from my Instagram account.
