Balenciaga in the City

Bidding New York adieu is always tough. When you’ve spent the last 6 days in a flurry of creativity, whimsy and eclectic energy, it’s hard to pull away and go back to reality. One of the main reasons why I love fashion is its transformational ability. When you find something that speaks to you, you don’t simply put it on and go about your day. You float, you soar, you have a special aura. You are elevated.

Walking through the streets in this black Balenciaga number was the perfect cap on an amazing week. It’s a little bit Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and a little bit badass – I don’t think you can get more New York.  It made for the perfect goodbye photo.

We opted for the latest flight out on our last day to take advantage of the daytime shows and squeeze in one more Italian meal. Two of my all-time favorites, Georgine and Monique Lhuillier were on tap, as well as pizza at Rubirosa (don’t worry, I managed not to spill).

Stay tuned for the final installments of my NYFW experience on the blog later this week!
