how to find things to do in your city and things to do in new york // ew & pt

Lately, I’ve been using my free time to research places to eat, areas to explore, and walls to take a good Instagram in front of. As it turns out, this feels way more productive than scrolling through Instagram and Twitter … plus, it also helps make me feel even more excited for the nice weather.

There are so many things I want to do! And they’re more or less ~accessible~ because they’re in my city/state! They’re located in New York, just like me. Bucket lists are cool, but “to explore” lists are even greater, especially when you can make them realistic and reachable.

So I went to a show at New York Fashion Week. I’m still in shock. Granted, I wasn’t quite esteemed enough to have a seat, but I did get to attend an incredible fashion show as press. I’d stand in heels for an hour any day if it meant getting to witness the magic of a runway.

I attended the Sherri Hill Fall 2017 show and if her name sounds familiar it’s because you most definitely drooled over her gowns when you were shopping for prom. My prom Pinterest board was flooded with Sherri Hill’s dresses and although I couldn’t quite splurge, I was happy to be fawning over them. Even now, as a college student who can even less so afford the dresses, I’m still just as happy to be admiring them.

I covered the event for a media company and was lucky enough to bring along my main blog photographer (and best friend!). Everything in the show looked incredibly dazzling and sparkly and I was almost blinded. Aside from death and taxes, one thing in life is sure: Nothing sparkles quite like a Sherri Hill gown under spotlights. 

Now, I’m not sure if this applies to every show at NYFW but this is what I learned from this particular experience.

Being able to make your own custom lipstick IN NYC with your best friend because she’s a great gift giver (and she read your post about cool things to do in NYC). Bless her for one of the coolest gifts ever.
