My New York Fashion Week Experience

Today I am so excited to share photos and all details on my recent New York City trip for New York Fashion Week! In August, my blogger friend Rachel Puccetti and I decided to go to NYFW together and were roomies! We booked a hotel and were SO excited that it was finally happening! I was so excited to connect with other bloggers IRL since I only connected with them via Instagram.

Since this was my first time going to Fashion Week I went for 4 days, 3 nights.

On Friday we were both traveling so we started our day around 1:00 and headed to the RewardStyle Headquarters for our first stop. There I got to meet so many amazing women and go up on the rooftop for so really gorgeous view!!

Then we walked over to the LiketoKnow.it Heart Wall for some photos with their street style photographer. It was so much fun!

Right after we grabbed a really late lunch and then got ready for the Style Collective Party. Again, got to chat with some amazing women and wish I took more photos with them! It was hard balancing being in the moment and documenting the whole trip!!

Saturday morning after breakfast I had a meeting with my RewardStyle rep Marie and was so glad we finally got to meet! She is the sweetest!!

After my meeting, we took an Uber down toward the Flatiron District for the Banana Republic presentation for the Olivia Palermo collaboration. The pieces were so gorgeous and so many are on my wishlist. You can shop the collection here. After that me and a few other blogger babes stopped for lunch at a really cute restaurant called Claudette. It was a cute little French restaurant. The food was really tasty and they had brunch menu options.

Later that day we did a little shopping then headed back to our hotel to get ready for the LiketoKnow.it party. There I got to meet so many more amazing women!

Breakfast for Day 2- Banana Waffles… they were pretty good!

This jacket was one of my favorite pieces from the Olivia Palermo x BR collection. You can shop the collection here.

This was a free day for us to just enjoy the city, take blog photos, shop, and eat some really delicious food (cupcakes included!!). We started out the day by walking through a little bit of Central Park and took some blog photos. It was so serene and beautiful. Then we started some shopping and went to Berdorf Goodman, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Saks Fifth Avenue and then went down to SOHO for a late lunch. We went to Pietro Nolita which was an all pink restaurant and it was the cutest thing ever!! Not only was it cute on the inside and outside but the food was really good and tasty too. I had a cheese and pepper pasta and the portion size was just right. It was definitely worth the 20 minute wait to get in. Then we walked around SOHO for a bit after that and then headed back midtown to the Top of the Rock. The views were breathtaking! Then we headed over to Sprinkles for some cupcakes. Oh my goodness, they were SO good! I picked out a few extra cupcakes to take home since it was my mom’s birthday the next day so I got to sample a few flavors- Salted Caramel and Sprinkles. You really cannot go wrong with any flavor. Then that was pretty much our Sunday.

This pasta was SO yummy! My wallet can be found here…

At the 5th Avenue Louis Vuitton store- the prettiest display of flowers!!

Monday was a travel day so right before I left I took a walk around the area just to get one last glimpse of the city before I left. And I really did not want to leave!!! I had the best time meeting inspirational women. Cannot wait until next time I can see everyone again!

Xo,
