NYFW 2018
September 19, 2018
Hey girls! I'm here to share with you my 6th time traveling to New York for fashion week and all the deets. I'm going to break down everything from the events, to outfits, places to go, advice and of course...the REAL life behind the infamous #NYFW. Ready for some juice? Let's goooo!
In the past seasons, I have focused on going to shows but I would come home and be like...I wish I would have done this or met with this person! So this season, Lindsay and I decided our main priorities were going to be taking amazing photos and meeting with companies we work with or would like to!
We met with PR companies such as Bollare, Behrman Communications and Tractenberg & Co. We attended the Lulu's party and had so much fun. One of my highlights was meeting Maria from @miamiamine and chatting with her and her husband. They were the nicest people! I also wanted to make sure I met with Marc Fisher and Warby Parker as those are two of my favorite companies and I wear their products daily!

FOOD
We tried out Rosemary's Pizza.... and we loved it! We split their chips + onion dip, shrimp cocktail, pepperoni pizza and margherita pizza. Yes we were hungry lol. Another place you guys have to try is called Da Nico located in Little Italy. Not only did we get in super fast without a reservation but it was hot, delicious and one of the best pastas I've ever had. I got chicken alfredo!
PHOTO SPOTS
Lindsay used to be a photographer so she took the liberty of finding us the best photo spots in NYC (so thankful for this)! Being that it rained half the time, we didn't get to go to all of them but our top picks were:
- Brooklyn Bridge: One of the oldest roadway bridges in the U.S! (Be prepared for it to be VERY busy unless you go super early or late) and watch out for the bike lanes....those bikers are on a mission. This bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn.
- High Line: The High Line is a 1.45 mile long elevated linear park. We visited here one of the days that it rained but honestly our photos turned out so good! I loved the view of NYC from here.
- Times Square: Known as the 'center of the universe' Times Square is probably the number one tourist attraction in NYC. Approximately 330,000 people walk through Times Square daily to give you a taste of how busy it is!
- Flatiron Building (175 5th Ave.): This building is considered a groundbreaking skyscraper. Known as one of the world's most iconic building and quintessential symbol of NY. We didn't make it here but tons of photo opps in front of this building!
- Dumbo: Have you ever watched Gossip Girl? Hello Lonely boy + Serena...trendy Dumbo's cobblestone streets are the perfect spot for chic street style photos.
I would like to call this category...the sh*t they don't tell you. You know how you see girls in heels, looking super chic? Yeah they are dying inside. You have to walk A LOT in NY and you are going to want comfy shoes. A tip is to bring bendy flats and keep them in your bag to change into after events/shows to help loosen the blisters. ALSO- I read to put deodorant on your feet so they don't get blisters.
Number 2, prepare to be freakin' hangry by the end of the day. Even if you only have 2-3 events you won't have time to eat unless you miss things or grab fast food. The first night we literally went straight to a meeting from the plane and didn't stop until 10pm. By then, our feet were killing us and we took showers and ordered McDonald's from UberEats (and it was PERFECT.)
3....You will spend sooo much time in Ubers unless you take the subway. Everywhere we went it took around 10-30 minutes even if it was close because of traffic. Make sure to leave early so you have plenty of time.
Some girls are.....well, how do I say this nicely.....FAKE. No I'm not talking about hair extensions, botox, spray tans (because I am guilty). I'm talking about the girls who you thought were super nice on social media then you see in person and they act like they don't know who you are. I can't tell you how fucking CLIQUEY the blogger world is. I have tons of friends and they are genuine but they are hard to find.
Whether I have 100 followers or a million I will act the same towards anyone who is nice to me. And if I don't someone better smack me because these girls need a reality check.
My top: Boohoo c/o
My joggers: Zella (most comfortable joggers in the WORLD)
Lindsay, Kate and I stayed at Aloft Manhattan in the Financial District and they were very accommodating. Our bed was so comfortable, it was quiet and we had the best coffee and breakfast everyday!
If you guys would like to know anything else about NYFW or think I should do another post with more details on how to get invited to things, etc. tell me in the comments or shoot me an email at whereyourheartisnow@gmail.com!
Until then, see you in February NYC! xx

NYFW Recap
September 20, 2017
My look- Jacket: BLANKNYC c/o, similar here Shirt: Chaser Brand c/o Jeans: Boohoo c/o Shoes: Dolce Vita Bag: Louis Vuitton Sunglasses: Quay Australia
This was my fourth time going to New York Fashion Week. I thought I would share my recap with you babes! This time I stayed with three other amazing bloggers and one photographer. They were: Morgan England from Style on Edge, Karina Reske from Karina Style Diaries, Kathleen Post from Lemon Blonde and Cassidy England from Cassidy England Photo. We stayed in the Tribeca area and it was very convenient! So I compare New York Fashion Week to Vegas. You honestly do not need to come for more than a few days. They say Vegas is the city that never sleeps but honestly I feel that way when I'm in NYC for Fashion Week. There's always so much to do and you never want to miss out on any of it!
I arrived on Thursday afternoon and went to the hotel to organize all of my stuff and change. Karina and I then went to a meeting with an amazing jewelry brand called Legend Amrapali where we popped some champagne and inhaled some sweets (we hadn't ate all day). They let us pick out some jewels to wear for the week and a gift. They were so kind! It was so much fun. After this we headed to a fun event at the Sam Edelman store. They are expanding their brand to launch a new lifestyle collection (so cute!) We met their team and they gave us each a cute new lingerie set. After this we headed to get some delicious NY pizza then went back to the hotel.
Day 2, we headed to Bollare, an amazing PR firm where we picked out some goodies. From there we went to the Galtiscopio runway show. P Diddy's son performed too so that was cool! I was obsessed with this dress and I loved all of the slicked back pony's on the models (so chic!) After this, we had an appointment at the Boohoo gifting suite. We headed to a burger joint then went to the Michael Costello presentation. It was absolutely STUNNING.

Casual Chic in NYC

Coat: Day Furs Sunglasses: Quay Austrailia, similar here Sweatshirt: Adidas Jeans: Express Boots: Public Desire Bag: Trendlee
Hi guys! I'm so sorry this post is going up so late. I literally feel like death. I wouldn't wish this sickness upon anyone. So I will be laying in bed the rest of the day trying to get rid of it. Anyways, I love casual chic anything and it was perfect for a day in NYC when we decided to shop and explore the city while at Fashion Week. I got my bag from Trendlee, have you guys heard about them? You can buy and sell luxury pre owned designer handbags at a fraction of the cost. They take their authenticity very seriously and guarantee it for every item. They also provide free returns for everywhere in the U.S. The bag I'm carrying is here but if you like it I think you'll also like this one. The best part is I have a discount code for you guys to get 5% off your order; all you have to do is use code WYHIN at checkout! Happy shopping xo
Thank you Trendlee for sponsoring today's post.

Hi guys! I wanted to share with you a quick recap on my trip to NYFW. This is my third time going. My first was in college and I volunteered as a backstage dresser. And I have gone twice now as a blogger. Fashion week is so fun but very exhausting. I'm so happy my roomie Vanessa packed lots of snacks because all I brought were protein bars and I went through them pretty fast. I love making lists so I am just going to make a quick one to recap my favorite things from FW.
Favs:
- Meet & Greet at Thakoon with We Wore What & Chriselle Lim
- New York Pizza! We went to a delicious place called Sofia Pizza Shoppe (highly recommend)
- Shows: Georgine, Francesca Liberatore, Jenny Packham, Leanne Marshall, obsessed with all of them
- Getting a massage at the Bloglovin brunch
- Our Galentine's Day date at While We Were Young with Double Shot of Sass
- And my ultimate favorite was meeting Rachel Parcell and Emily Jackson, they literally talked to us forever and were so freaking nice and down to earth. I LOVED them.
Overall, it was such a fun trip and I feel so blessed to have found a job that I love doing every single day. I haven't decided if I'm going in September so stay tuned. Thank you guys for reading! XO
