NYFW Diaries: Part 2

Happy Friday, you guys!

Fall has barely kissed our cheeks here in Chicago, and my New York recaps have me yearning for spring style already… I digress. Your full NYFW rundown continues! (Click here if you missed my first fashion week diaries excerpt.)

 

Mid-week, I was lucky enough to catch a few shows from the #amexfashion Skybox with two of my favorite Glam girls, Bianca and Nola. The swanky lounge overlooked two separate runways, complete with champagne, a menu curated by Chef Todd English, and best of all, power outlets. Charging stations are hard to come by at Fashion Week, and often times you’ll find two, three, four bloggers lined up at an outlet to juice their phones for just a few minutes.

The things we do for Instagram, huh?

Following a day of fashion shows, a few of us left the island and spent the evening in Queens, watching the US Open. I’m not well-versed in the rules of tennis, so I’m lucky that my ladies Ashley (from Pursuit of Shoes) and V (from vmac + cheese) were giving me the run-down.

Pre-match, we checked out the American Express Fan Experience center; which is essentially a big building that boasts a number of activities, shops and games to try. I had my tennis back-hand (or lack there-of) analyzed, and it wasn’t pretty. I’ll stick to shopping.

*All Instagram’ing their drinks, ha.

Saturday night, I hopped over to the Dream Hotel and drank way too much champagne with a few blogger friends. Jess and I proceeded to end the night with 3 a.m. dirty martinis (…plural), which seemed like an excellent idea at the time. Can anyone decipher this logic for us?

*Lastly, I’m working on finalizing this week’s video recap, so check back later today to see it!
