I know it’s been a month since NYFW but I still have pictures to share! I’d been saving this red dress for the right occasion and I decided that the rewardStyle NYFW party would be the perfect place to wear it.
While I was there, I was reunited with blogger friends Lydia and Meg, who I hadn’t seen since I moved from Connecticut to New York. It was so great to catch up with them at the party! And get this– I also ran into a friend who I hadn’t seen since high school. At first I thought there was no way it could be her, since as far as I knew she was not a fashion blogger, but it turns out she has her own photography business and came to New York as the photographer for B. Jones Style. It was definitely one of those moments where you think, “What a small world!”

![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?

Thank you Courtney! It’s most of the old gang- we’re just missing you and Amber!
Awwww I love happy reunions :). You look amazing in a bold red! And I love the last photo with the Empire Hotel in the reflection of your sunnies!

Thank you Madeline! That last pic was Lydia’s idea- I thought it turned out pretty cool too :)
You look gorgeous, my dear. Awesome dress!

Thank you Dora! :)
Woohoo! It was so good to see you there! :D Can’t believe how long it was since we had last seen you
I know- far too long! Let’s plan another get-together soon!
And I thought I was slow about getting posts up, haha! But yes, it was awesome to see you, and your friend is an amazing photographer… now being able to hire a personal photographer to accompany me to events, that is something to aspire to!
Haha, yep, I’m reallllly slow :) I was so impressed by my friend’s work too and it was so cool to hear about what she’d been doing since we graduated high school!
lol how funny! Would be crazy if any girls from HS were bloggers. I did run into a girl from high school at the WWD offices.
But looks like I missed a great event – everyone was there!
It was a fun time! Yeah, I really couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her- I never would have guessed that she’d be at that event! :)
