Those that know me know I love New York, I love it sooo much I really really want to live there if only for a couple of months!  I seriously left a piece of my heart in New York the very first time I went, and every time after another piece of my soul has stayed behind, how sad is that?!.

Well after some serious persuading and slight manipulationwith the husband I finally booked our trip! Of course I went armed with one HUGE to-do list of shops to check out, because every time Ive been I have not been in the mind set I am now…an aspiring designer. So heres a few of our adventures on the business side of our trip!

Do we look tired yet? too bad this is BEFORE we even got on the place…poor thing didn’t even know what was coming! I could barely drop off our bags in our room before I was like where are we going first?!

First up…the garment district for some fun fabrics!

Found some fantastic prints and other fabrics that I will use in upcoming designs!

Next up flower district!

I love a supply warehouse of any kind!

Ive told yall I like antiquing right?! Well if you werent one of the lucky ones to read how much I love it, here goes again! I LOVE digging through antique stores, flea markets, and especially family members garages and sheds!

see I told you I LOVE antique stores!

My most favorite place in the whole world…CHELSEA! You can’t help but be inspired by this incredible neighborhood! As soon as we stepped off the subway, it was like we were in another world. The shops, the people were completely different from what you see in “touristy” spots, much slower paced and just the atmosphere there was so intoxicating.

Major bucket list entry…to meet Martha!  I love her!

While these are just highlights from our trip, I assure I left with TONS of inspiration and plans for many ideas to bring to you to hopefully inspire for your next event! Cant wait to share my big ideas! Thanks for stopping by!
