TGIF in the Big Apple

Last night, last event - avoid the rain & take a taxi!

#Celfie waiting for the Steampunk Fashion Speak Event to begin at The National Arts Council 

{Fashion Speak Fridays Presents: Steampunk Revolution with Victoriana Lady Lisa, author of International Steampunk Fashions.} [Friday October 9, 2015]

My wardrobe's version of steampunk fashion...

Vintage Wool Pendleton coat (Burnt Orange)

Sheer-layered New York & Company Blouse

Vintage Brown/Black Lace Overlay Dress

Handmade denim, leather and hardware detail bracelet ---> A gift my from my Dad which he purchased at an open air market down south! ps: so perfectly steampunk, purchased just weeks before the event and I'm 100% sure my father has no idea what steampunk even means - adorable and ironic.

Another random finding of my own was this skeletal wrist-wear…oddly enough, don't laugh, but it was found whilst shopping on a Saturday with my mother in Pier 1 Imports! xo You never know where and when you will be inspired…or find a must have piece for your closet.

Sometimes a Celfie is necessary for capturing your #ootn because otherwise you might not get a good enough shot of it
a) your friends are unreliable photographers
b) your friends HATE being your photographer
c)your friends are nowhere to be found

The worst part about leaving NYC - is the beautiful exit…driving by the endless cityscape you can't fathom why you're heading back home! Apartments, terraces, rooftops…major LIFE-STYLING ENVY.

Mood matching my outfit & color palette gray tones.

The end of #GCCinNYC Fall 2015. Au Revoir...

This black building is everything I could wish for in my future home - be it a high-rise,  a mansion, a beach house, villa or town home, this is all I could ever want/need.

The highlight of my morning ride to JFK, headed back home to Upstate NY. My head and heart full of wonderful ideas, findings and inspiration from this year's trip to the city! xoxo until next time New York...

Group photos: Fashion Business Students visiting the Tommy Hilfiger showrooms, hosted by two of our amazing alumni!

Fashion Ave is sometimes a little crooked. 

Worth $12.99 to get me through the day!

#ootd: Sunnies, Rebecca Minkoff Faith Fringe flats, pussy bow blouse, suede/leather moto-jacket, black vintage handbag, leather detail pants.

New York Window Displays can be best described as a visual feast for our eyes. 

Dresses among books…

My dog-loving heart won't let me walk by a canine without at least a glance or two, this guy required a picture because he was so well behaved and handsome!

Necessary Taxi to the Buffalo David Bitton Showroom!

#InTheBuff - Our #GCCinNYC students presenting the amazing Diane Alexander with our brand new #GCCplaid.

Our professors, Ms. Erhart and Mr. Dudkowski were quick to notice how Diane fixed her scarf so quickly and so chic! 

Amazing shot of our professors alongside one of our fabulous Alumni whom just so happens to be an #LIMTransfer, now in her senior year and doing so well for herself in the city!

Through the looking glass at Valentino Garavani…this is what dreams are made of…

Bottega Veneta Menswear Display

The #athleisure movement saved the day - my Rebecca Minkoff flats ruined my freshly pedicured feet so these Nike Roshe Run sneakers were a perfect pairing! sold-out at most places, a few sizes are left here...

Necessary #celfie at Louis Vuitton

Ah, the shoe floor at Bergdorf Goodman - I think I might just need to move in.

Necessary face mask!

Watching Sex & The City, while in the city trying my best to channel my inner Carrie Bradshaw.

Thanks to Alleva's, the rice ball and sopressata were the ultimate snack for me before heading out for the rest of the evening!
