NYFW || RECAP 1

Well, y'all..I made it.  I survived my first fashion week experience and it was amazing.  I can't even explain how fun it was.  I totally thought I wasn't going to be invited to any shows..well shucks..I went to seven.  Yes, seven.  I don't know how, but it was incredible.

I'm going to go over Thursday & Friday today and then Saturday & Sunday later this week..just to keep it from being the longest post ever.

Laduree

We arrived to the city Thursday morning around 8am.  If you're doing the math, that means we left a little before 5am from DC which means I woke up around 3am to get ready.  Thursday was a long day to say the least.  As soon as we got there, it was go time.  Kristyn, Lauren and I headed to see Nicholas K while Jenn (bless her heart) handled the bags..however, Jenn got to see BCBG, so we're even..?  After that, we went to Laduree in Soho to get lunch.  A little advice..the Croque Monsieur was unreal.  Everyone raves about the macarons, but I highly recommend actually getting lunch.  We then had a meeting with Lydell NYC in their showroom.  Really neat space, really pretty jewelry.  Then..Marissa.  #omg.  Marissa Webb was amazing.  I will take one of each, please.  Afterwards, we met up with Dressometry for coffee at Chalait.  Order the Chai Latte.  We then headed back to the hotel and changed for dinner which was at Cookshop.  After dinner, we crashed.

Friday morning was another early one, but definitely not as early as the morning before.  I headed to a brunch with Mode (again at Cookshop) and had one of the best green juices ever.  After brunch, the four of us met up at Julie Vos to visit their showroom.  If y'all haven't noticed, Julie Vos is my favorite jewelry line.  It's stunning stuff.  Bold gold and beautiful stones and gems.  It's also semi-affordable which is important.  After JV, we went to The Plaza for afternoon tea and I died.  I could do afternoon tea every single day.  I would be 1,000 lbs, but it would be worth it.  We then headed to see the O'2nd presentation which was a fave.  Very wearable pieces and a great color scheme.  The muted reds and blues were everything.  After the presentation, Lauren and I stayed for the Nicole Miller show.  Beautiful show and really neat meeting a few other bloggers we sat around.  We then went back to the hotel to rest up and change.  Next up was Balthazar for dinner.  Another "#omg" moment, y'all.  The lobster risotto may have been one of the best meals of my life.  It was so, so good.  Again, we crashed after dinner.

Amazing two days.  Stay tuned for the S&S recap.
