nyc round three: day one.

hello friends. i'm back from new york and am indeed experiencing a serious apres-city low.
it's dismal. real life is not as fun.

so what better way to avoid all responsibilty than to re-live the past four days while sharing them with you!? i decided the easiest way to go about this is to go day-by-day, and while we're at it you'll get to see what i wore, too!

so here we go: day one!

 please tell me you think the above picture is as hilarious as i think it is.
also i forgot to tell you that we somehow wore matching outfits... so people knew we were a team.

day one was friday and friday was our travel day. that plane ride is long and i somehow thought it would still be okay to wear my not-most-comfortable jeans. that was a bad choice. so, there i sat in the middle seat in my not-most-comfortable jeans and tried to ignore them by watching moonrise kingdom which was seriously awesome and darling (even though we could hardly hear anything because also planes are loud.) then we got off that plane and i adjusted my jeans at long last and then we waited in the cab line for too long. luckily it ended up being one of the less nauseating cab rides from the airport that i've experienced there, perhaps because i was bracing myself like "this is going to be nauseating so get ready" and then i was better at looking out windows and getting air so i was not so nauseated after all.


 skylines and pretty buildings. be still my heart.

after we arrived at our hotel we got the grand tour from the bellboy of which made us cranky and tired because we just wanted to pass out once we got to the hotel not get talked to for another hour, but it was fine because then we knew how to operate their fancy do not disturb sign properly.


 balloons, beats, hashtags. i mean what could be better!? my hair-do, that's what.

i then waffled around about changing outfits to go to the first event of teen vogue fashoin u at h&m, because i just wanted to wear my not-most-comfortable jeans and be done with it! but instead i ended up putting on a skirt and tights and we walked up fifth avenue to the partay. we also stopped to oogle over the louis vuitton windows which made me so happy because that louis vuitton stuff is some of my favorite right now. the h&m party was great and everything and i even got to embarrass myself a little with a conversation that went like this: "would you like one of these little tiny cookies?" said the male model server. "oh sure" said i, attempting to grab the cookie and the little cork platter it was on only to realize the cork platter is firmly attatched to the tray. "so wait do i take just the cookie?" i say. "uh you'd have to be really strong to get the cork off and then we would have to get a new tray," said the rude male model server. and i was like "fine then sir, i'm out!"

so after that we went to bloomingdales because i did a smart packing thing called buy-shoes-for-my-outfit-once-i-get-there. aka: not a smart packing thing. so we went to bloomingdales where they had no good shoes and we got hustled out the employee exit becuase we were there until it closed but we just had to get the free people shirt that was on sale, okay! we then had to go back to h&m where we more closely examined the shoe options and found some black wedge booties that fit the bill and at last we could go get dinner which was pizza at patsy's, where our friend took us on our first nyc trip. and in case you were wondering, we never try new restaurants.

 1. my face  2. the rainy city  3. complimetary cider in tiny cups at the hotel.

then on our cab ride back to the hotel something came on about heidi klum and it showed her standing on the final runway of project runway and we were like "blah! we never watched the finale!" so once at the hotel we finished off our day by watching who won project runway. and without saying names i'll just tell you that we were super glad about who won because we think he is a little bit really hilarious.

best post ever.
see you tomorrow to tell you about day two!

ps: when i say "we" i'm talking about me and my mom, who are the two people who went on this trip.

THe NEW YORK DIARIES: University Continues.

and we're back with DAY 1 PART 2 of Teen Vogue Fashion University!


After class with the bloggers, I stepped out to meet with my mama and Karli, who had been perusing Times Square, to go eat some lunch. I was starving. We found a little french restaurant just across the street from the theater, and sat down to eat. They even said 'bon appetite' when they brought us our food! Hooray!


this is Karli. She is glamorous.
me and mom just struggle a bit with getting a good picture of the both of us.
After a delicious lunch break, it was time for class to start again, this time with....


Jenna Lyons
President and Executive Creative Director of J. Crew.
oh yes. J.Crew.


Looking just so glamorous in her sequins, stripes, camo, and Louboutins.


And since J. Crew is probably a favorite place of mine, I was pretty excited. As was mostly everyone. Ugh, I want to be her.

The best thing she taught us... follow through with your work, and work hard, it pays off!

next up and last class of the day, Modeling 101 with... 

Laura Bonomo, Teen Vogue Bookings Director 
and Conor Kennedy, of Muse NYC Agency

this was my view of the happenings at front. so...
My apologies, but it was the end of the day, and I admit I got a little drowsy back there. I may have even dosed off for two seconds. And, I don't really want to be a model so much, so I may have taken liberties with the opportunity for a little rest while I was perched in the back.

What I still learned however: A model is more than a pretty face! Personality and presentation are so important!

As I left the Conde Nast building for the last time of the weekend (hopefully not the last time for forever.) Look who I happened upon...


Spotted: Jenna Lyons. I walked out the door where the yellow leggings are walking out of, and Jenna is being surrounded, (look near the red coat.) I was so close! But alas, look at the crowd. I didn't want to add on to the scene, so as soon as I crossed the street I turned around and snapped a photo.

The last of Fashion U Day 1 coming your way tomorrow!
