Look Linger Love

Hi! Sorry for my absence on Friday and this weekend. I was in New York for fashion week and didn’t bring my computer. Here’s all about it, I had a great time. It was freezing.

 

I stayed at the Marlton again because I just love that hotel. It’s adorable, cozy, and in a great neighborhood (Greenwich Village). My friend Liz was my roomie.

 

 

We met up at the hotel and then headed over to Milk Studios for Marissa Webb’s runway show.

 

 

I really liked the details of the simple ties in the front with the backs loose and billowed.

After the show we met our friend Allison for coffee, ran by the Apple store for a phone charger and had another Katie Holmes sighting, and went back to the hotel for a little bit. That night we had dinner at Palma with Mackenzie. Josh and I ate there in September and really loved it!

 

 

Side note, this trip was all about Uber since it was freezing in NYC. Was so nice to not have to wait outside trying to hail a cab.

 

The next morning my friend Stacy from Hampden Clothing picked us up and we tagged along on her buying appointment at Loeffler Randall. Yes. You know I’m a crazy fan so this was beyond fun to see the behind the scenes and new fall collection. I can’t share any of the product photos yet but trust me it’s sick good. Lots of pretty fringe and a major surprise up their sleeve.

 

 

Then Liz and I ran over to the Kate Spade presentation. It was really great, per usual. I’m loving their fur and plaids.

 

 

Then we walked over to Tipsy Parson for lunch.

Next we ran over to the Shoshanna showroom to see a peek of what’s new for fall and their new midnight collection. Lots of pretty things in there!

 

 

That night we met Grace and Alex (who took this picture) for drinks at our hotel and then headed over to Lafayette for dinner with Stacy (Hampden), Molly (of Les Nouvelles), and Sean Monahan (designer of Sea). This night was so much fun!

 

 

Breakfast in our room the next morning, so cute on china.

 

 

Stopped by Bare Minerals for a little makeover of sorts. It was fun to see some of the same BR girls I had seen last year at fashion week, and I’m now a little obsessed with the Complexion Rescue.

 

 

Looking brighter! Next we ran over to the Tibi show and it was so, so good.

 

 

A lot of the collection I feel like you really need to have that skinny straight body type, but I’m still going to try to give it a go come fall because it was so pretty.

 

 

Here’s an Über crew pic. By the time we got into Mara Hoffman it was silly packed and already beginning so Liz and I ducked out. I hear it was pretty.

We were starving to we went to a little italian place near the Marlton (I forget the name!) and then went back to the hotel.

 

 

It was snowing and freezing and we never made it back out. Spent Valentine’s Day night watching both Father of the Bride movies, doing facial masks, and eating hotel snacks. HA!

 

 

Sunday morning was spent dealing with flight issues.

 

 

At noon I headed over to Bobo for the Design Darling blogger brunch hosted by Mackenzie. It was the perfect way to end the weekend by getting together with many of my friends before flying out. It was so cute there!

 

 

Cab selfie. Does anyone else get really car sick in NYC cabs? I mean, it’s awful for me. All I wanted at this point was a barf bag and to take my spanx off.

 

 

And that’s all! Fun time. Happy President’s Day, y’all!
