NYC 2013

Suddenly I want to cover my walls in neon tape…

Despite the CrAzY weather, the NYC trip still went down.

Seriously impressed by the way this city carries onward despite any conditions. The entire city of Atlanta will shut down over a few inches of snow, and the city of NYC was back to business the morning after Nemo. Tough ones they are…

(Coconut bark makes excellent earthy vase wraps- who knew??)

Some events were cancelled which was a bummer so I hopped lots of food joints…cuz thats what you should do when in NYC. Here is what still proceeded…

Highlights according to instagram:

Jack Rogers joined forces with the Flower School of New York to bring us a fun evening of cocktails, flower arrangement tips, and a preview of new and upcoming designs.

Found a cozy joint to grab dinner and escape the mad weather with Mackenzie and Carly at Whichcraft. (Best soup and sandwhich combos.) These girls are a fun time!

Catching up over lunch with Mara and Rachel at Il Ily (Superb Mediterranean). We were the lone survivors of our planned meet up:)

Photoshoot and coffee session with the awesome Kat Harris.

So wonderful to see Natalie and Naomi again and finally meet Sydney🙂 Those girls are so refreshingly down to earth and sweet as can be.

One of my best friends Liza is due just a few weeks before me! We got to spend some good catch up time together. Her and her husband have the coolest NYC apt and even hosted a post-nemo bonfire for friends to enjoy. They are rockstars I tell you.

Highlights not on insta:

Me trying to find the bus and train stations for at least two hours out of every day despite Gabe’s map and step by step directions. I am challenged in this area..

My failed fake eyelash attempt pre-photoshoot making my eye swell up and turn into a swollen mess.

Charging my weak phone every two hours in whatever coffee shop that would have me.

Getting yelled at for riding the bus without a pass. (No they don’t take cash friends.)

Snow filled boots and frostbitten hands.

Almost dying in cab.
