Heather is just the cutest- so glad we met! And look- it’s the back of Chris’s head! Just like she likes it ;)
I finally met Jaclyn, who is also adorable!
Bloggers being bloggers- love it!
I liked this girl’s hair, so I took a stealthy picture of it.
Yeah, there’s lots of creeping happening during NYFW.
Not going to lie- I got a little bit giddy the first time I saw this!
Sneak peek of an outfit I wore during NYFW- full outfit post to come soon
I just wanted to share a few random snapshots that I took throughout my NYFW experience that didn’t really fit into any other post. Along with attending fashion shows and presentations, the best part of NYFW was getting to meet other bloggers in person. It was so wonderful to be able to put faces to names and to doubly confirm that the members of The Bloggers’ Collective are just generally awesome people. Without them, I would have certainly wandered around the tents like a lost little puppy and would have been utterly bored when I had a bit of time to kill between shows. Instead, I got to hang out/laugh/chat/get pampered/eat and spend time with these lovely ladies! I have to thank two people in particular (Tessa and Diana) for allowing me to cover shows and giving me the amazing opportunity to go to NYFW- I’m so grateful and I absolutely loved the experience!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

looks like a lot of fun!! I love the stalker-ish way some of the pics were taken (girl with the hair) that’s a true blogger right there
Haha, thanks Christine! Alex is the best stalker/stealth photographer I know- she snaps all these great photos at events and I don’t even see here doing it!
Creeper! hahahahha
Did I send you these photos? I don’t think I did…
Lol, I’m learning from the best *points finger in your direction*
Nope, these ones are all me! :)
Hahahhaa. But really I do have more photos of this outfit.
Cool- whenever you get a chance to send them over! :)
LMAO ”
And look- it’s the back of Chris’s head! Just like she likes it” I almost spit out my coffee laughing!!! I’m so glad we met!!! I hope to see you soon! PS I’m still in love with that polka dot high low skirt!
Haha, well you know how Chris is! I’m so glad we met too and we should definitely hang out again soon! :)
And thank you! :D
Great hanging out with you :) My heart also skips a beat when I see the sign every year… ah fashion!
Same! I can’t wait for the next season! :)
I really love that skirt! So fun. I definitely wish I had been hanging out with other bloggers during my NYFW experience, as there was a lot of waiting in line time. Maybe next year!
Thank you Laura! Yes, hopefully next year you can stay for even longer :)
How awesome was it being there?? I love the energy! And I’m so happy I got to meet you and Alex in person. And meet Chris, too – what a doll! Good times lady, good times.
So awesome and good times indeed! I already can’t wait for the next time we can all meet up! :D
glad you had such a positive fashion week experience.
meeting new bloggers is definitely one of the best parts of these functions.
Yes, I’m really lucky that I had an overwhelmingly positive experience too! :)
Whoa! This looks like such a great time. I’m jealous! Very glad that it went so well for you :)
Thanks Alyse! I hope you’re settling in well in your new place in CA!
Bloggers being bloggers… haha! So true!
Haha, yep! :D
Looks like you had a great experience! I wanted to go but I decided it would be better to just finish settling into my dorm than rush over and not really have any sense of orientation in NY. Maybe I’ll meet you next Fall when I can commute from upstate where my sister lives :)
Outfit is looking on point, too! ;)
Thank you Melanie! Yes, it would be so awesome if you could come up next season- I would love that! :)
