New York Video Diary



Someone close to me once said that "to life, fashion is the cherry on top". I completely agree, but the past few months have been so amazing that every single thing is the cherry on top. The first and foremost reason I started blogging was to document my travels, with fashion adapting along the line. The reason I love to travel and have this blog at all is that it is fuel to my 'weakness' of wandering. I thrive on new experiences, pushing myself and discovering parts of the world and often myself, that I never considered to exist beforehand. I'm not entirely certain as to why I love New York as much as I do, maybe because there is so much to do and make the most of every day; but I feel like that is where I actually live and now I'm in Sydney homesick for it.

This is a little sneak peek of my time in New York for my readers, and my family whom have never been. Wandering the Highline, shopping on Broadway, coffee at Saturday's, flashing at the Top of the Rock and of course some of NYFW. It was often too cold to take footage, forgetting my camera battery on several occasions (mainly over FW) or just knowing that some moments are best kept in your own memories. Also, I don't know why I raise my arms all the time; I just put it down trying to spread some happy.

Botanica



This outfit isn't just a pants party- it is a head to toe garden party. I can honestly say that his pants suit by camilla and marc is my favourite look to come out of Australia this season, with the most perfect rendition of a floral I've seen. The botanical print against the black makes it surprisingly wearable, and dressing down the tailoring with a plain tee it is a subtle approach to wearing a garden (eg myself a few days ago). 

With the limited vintage shopping I was able to do in New York coming out fruitless, my hunt for a cross body bag has resulted in borrowing from a friend. Until I can afford my dream bag I will be scouring locally in high hopes.
