NYFW: Channeling Carrie Bradshaw

Hey you, Monday! My days are terribly mixed up right now because of New York Fashion Week. There’s a happy-kind-of-chaos here, in that dreams are happening and I’m experiencing a lot of firsts [like channeling Carrie Bradshaw crossing a busy street]. A girl can dream, right?!

Over the last few days, my team + I have been running around the city to different shows. We’re doing our best to freeze moments in time — there’s so much magic happening around us.

I’m really grateful to be here, and even more grateful for this space to share the experiences with you. Wander through NYFW with me…
