What a buzz!

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge!

I had the time of my life! Just back from New York Fashion Week and I was super impressed. It was my first time in the USA and I found New York to be bigger, brighter and more full of life than I ever imagined. The humidity was a battle each day but it worked wonders for my complexion. I stayed on after NYFW and managed to take in the sights of this vibrant city that has so much to offer. I’ll be posting more about my trip once I get unpacked, but here are a couple of highlights.

Exploring Times Square!
I had the absolute pleasure to attend the Vivienne Tam after show party!
