Get The Look : Peplum Top {BCBG Max Azria}, Leather Pants {BCBG Max Azria}, Boots {Apepazza}
I was in New York for a long weekend the first week in September for magnificent Fashion Week. I attended a couple events including the emerging trends and couture fashion shows, and took to the streets with my partner in crime (aka my mom). Despite the hustle and bustle commonly associated with short weekend trips, the schedule permitted for an escape to the Statue of Liberty. Looking out to Manhattan from the island where Lady Liberty stood, I began to reflect on the city life, and from where I stood I could see and imagine it all.
When you are in the city that never sleeps, the fashion capitol of the world, concrete jungle or as commonly known as NYC, you tend to stand a little bit taller and hold yourself a little bit stronger because you have to in order to make it. Let’s be honest – New York is no joke. It’s filled with dreamers, believers, and hopefuls, and the only way to transpire those dreams, beliefs and hopes into something concrete is to hit the concrete, literally.
When you are walking through avenues and streets, you may find yourself feeling small as you are surrounded by skyscrapers, office buildings, residencies all while standing on top of an underground people moving system. The city can feel like a maze – when you start traveling down one way you realize you need another way out once you reach a roadblock.
In this mouse and maze game, there is always a prize at the end that exists as the primary motivation. You have to find what motivates you – it’s an introspective game itself but warranted. Then, take a step back and find yourself at a place in which you can see it all right before your eyes; eventually you will be standing in front of the roadblock staring down the path ahead.
