KC ---> NYC

Life has been a blur since relocating a month ago. Bustling streets, early morning commutes and a busy schedule has kept me from creating and updating. Tom Ford has treated me to a sweet and butt-kicking welcome. After joining in the midst of award season and weeks before the big AW15 show, I got an instant taste of the NYC pace. And I am in love. I  moved here knowing my life would be changed, however I did not expect it to change so quickly. I feel as if I have aged ten years in one month.

The move as brought loneliness and heart-ache with the transition to living with 40 beautiful women in a mansion to myself and a toaster oven in a one bedroom. It's a test of friendship and I can't be more thrilled to find I have the truest and most insanely beautiful group of friends and family. The move has also brought out a sense of pride I would not have experienced otherwise. A few jaw drops and the constant question of, "Wait, so you're here all by yourself?" is enough to make you realize what you're doing is something to be proud of and not take for granted.

I fulfilled a life dream of mine by attending New York Fashion Week in a budget-breaking number and a constant smile of wonder upon my face. Charlotte Ronson was a feminine beaut to watch and was perfected with the musical genius that is her sister, Samantha Ronson.

As a woman that loves to keep busy, I find it difficult to pause and act as a tourist sometimes. My vow to my followers and myself is to return to the act of capturing everything and writing what I see and feel. So here I am, soaking in every second of every experience that comes my way. To exploring and memorizing the streets to conquering the subway lines I am here a month later and looking forward to the next three to come.
