{Fashion Week!}

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is in full swing here in New York City. Luckily for me, VPL's office is only two blocks away from the Bryant Park, so I am greeted every morning by the world of fashion, and it says goodbye to me every night on my way home from interning. You can just feel the energy walking past the tents, not to mention there are people to see everywhere; so far I have seen Whitney Port, Molly Sims, Simon Doonan, Carine Roitfeld (!!!), Bobbi Queen, countless models, and many others.

I will be doing more in-depth posts on the trends from the runways later, but for now here are a few photos I shot while in the city. It is times like these that truly make me love Manhattan.

{Apologies}

My apologies, readers, for the lack of posts this past week. Between getting snowed in at home Tuesday-Thursday morning, rushing to get work done for my Thursday classes, and selling, making, and delivering candy grams for FFP all day Thursday, I didn't have much time for anything.

And, we mustn't forget, Fall Fashion Week 2010 is well underway, and VPL (the clothing line I intern for) had its fashion show this morning! I worked all day Friday, until about 7 p.m., from 11 a.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday morning, and then I was back at Pier 59 a few hours later (7:15 a.m., to be exact) for the show. I am beyond tired, but what a thrilling first fashion week experience!

Needless to say, I have a lot of pictures to put up and posting to do, so the next flurry of posts will be dedicated to my photos, and then an account of my experience working at a fashion show, and then a fashion week round-up so far. Enjoy!

Sooo that wonderful, relaxing snow I mentioned in my last post? Yeah, it ruined my relaxing weekend plans. Though we got no snow here in New York, my hometown in New Jersey got so much that I couldn't go home. I am hoping to go home tomorrow night for some rest & relaxation, but as would be my luck, another snowstorm has been forecast!

Snow or no snow, I have a super busy week ahead. Fashion for Philanthropy is selling candy grams for $2 all this week in the McGinley Center (come buy some to send to your friends!), so I will be tabling and baking all week for that. I have interning tomorrow and Friday, AND Saturday, AND a 6:30 AM call time on Sunday for the VPL fashion show at Pier 59! I am super excited to be involved in fashion week, but 6:30 a.m. is a little scary. I am also now a writer for The Ram, and have an article due Sunday. Then there is always homework and readings to deal with, other odds and ends for the club, and trying to find time to work out and relax!

During my last moments of solitude for the week this morning, I spent a lot of time looking at bedrooms online, mostly on myhomeideas.com. There were so many great bedrooms that I loved, it really got me itching for my own place! Or at least a renovation project on my own room at home!

How amazing and relaxing is this room? And that view! I am admittedly lucky enough to live on the water (at both my mom and my dad's houses!), so I love water views. However, my views tomorrow will be bleak and apparently snow covered, and my bedrooms look nothing like this. I love the plush white linens and clean lines of the room, and I would love to drink my tea on that balcony every morning. What good sleep the owner must get in this bedroom, it is so serene!
