New York in Photos {day one}

2/11/13
Last week, I went on a whirlwind two-day, two-night trip to the Big Apple with BCBGMAXAZRIA to see their offices and attend their Fall 2013 show. To say that it was special would be an understatement: I had been longing for another visit to the city after a trip there last May, and to be able to attend with a brand that I’ve been shopping at for years made it that much sweeter…

After arriving into Manhattan late Tuesday night and getting some much-needed shut eye, we set out for a productive first day. It was packed full of goodness, including a visit to the BCBGMAXAZRIA New York head offices and their 5th Avenue store, a walk through Bryant Park, delicious meals at The NoMad Hotel (where we also stayed) and The Lion, and the best part: an interview with the beautiful Lubov Azria herself (she was remarkably sweet and talented, and I’m excited to share later this week!). Here are some photo highlights of the day – I hope you enjoy them!

Goodnight, Manhattan

On our last night in New York, we had the privilege of watching the sun go down over busy Manhattan. Armed with a box of Laduree macarons, we headed up to the rooftop patio and spent 10 glorious minutes taking in the beautiful view. Living in Vancouver has allowed me to see many gorgeous sunsets from the beach, but trying to catch glimpses of disappearing sun through countless skyscrapers was, in my opinion, just as special of an experience. The sun finished setting before we knew it, but the fact that it didn’t last long made it that much sweeter – much like our trip itself.




Thanks for reading along about my New York adventures last week. I hope you enjoyed it!
