Blossoms and Beauty: August 2015

Hi Everyone!

On Monday I started my senior year of college. I almost can't believe that I have one year left of school and then it is time to move on to a big girl job and into the real world. It seriously does not seem real. What I also cannot believe is that summer is over. One of the best summers I have had in my entire life. Just yesterday I sat in Java City in one of my campus buildings and pretty much had a melt down on how I want to be back in New York. I am so ready to be out of the midwest and in a place where I feel like I fit in and belong. This town is to small for me!

To relive my time in New York I figured I would share with all of you a few pictures from the two months I lived in New York. I lived in the NYU dorms near Union Square so I was in the heart of all the action. If I wasn't already in love with New York this summer just intensified my love for the city.

This could not be a more truer quote for me right now. It is my favorite quote about New York.

SHOWROOM

This summer the reason I was in New York is that I had an internship. I interned at Fiftytwo showroom and it was so much fun! I learned a ton and also enjoyed myself tremendously. here are a few images of the showroom.

THE MET

One Friday after work me and another intern went to the met. The met is huge and I don't think it would be possible to see everything in one day.

This was my favorite exhibit. All of the clothes were gorgeous and it was all so interesting.

This gold dress was in a huge room all on it's own. The dress was huge and immaculate and the picture does not do it justice.

FOURTH OF JULY

With a group of people I went over to the Brooklyn pier and watched the Macy's fireworks over the city.

LIFE

I had to take a trip to cityMD -__- that was interesting but turns out I had acute bronchitis.

MENS FASHION WEEK

By far my favorite part of the summer was being able to attend the Robert Geller show at New York Fashion Week Men's, The first ever Men's fashion week. I got to be backstage before the show and then had prime seating during the show. I also saw Joe Jonas! I should have gotten a picture with him but I was of course trying to be cool and it was raining. I didn't want a picture that badly.

I was able to attend a presentation also at Men's Fashion week and that was for a brand called DeTROIT.

DINNER / DANCE CRUISE

BROADWAY

While in New York I of course took this opportunity to go to a few musicals, four in total. I saw Les Mis, Finding Neverland, Phantom of the Opera, and The Lion King. The Lion King was amazing and even though it was spendy it was well worth it. The music, the costumes, the props were all spectacular.

The music in Phantom of the Opera was also outstanding and for that one I had an amazing seat because I went to the TKTS booth in Time Square.

I had previously seen Wicked and Cinderella. My favorite are; The Lion King and Wicked so I would without a doubt check into one of those two if you are ever in New York because they are amazing!

FAMILY TAKES NEW YORK

When I finished my internship my family came out to New York and we spent around a week their together. We went to the Statue of Liberty, a Mets game, and the Lion King. I also had to bring them to Shack Shake which is my favorite!
