It's not every day that a Lakeland girl gets to travel with her girlfriends to NYC during fashion week. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to go, and for that I am so grateful. It took some web surfing to find the right discounts, and eBay selling to raise some extra funds, but I did it! We will be on our way Thursday morning to kick it off in style by attending one of the biggest, most celebrated nights in fashion, Fashion's Night Out!
The Challenge: Choose from our top priority lists of what to do on a night were we want to be in 100 places at the same time! And do, eat, see, shop, everything else that is on our list in 4 days.
Here is my wishlist (in no particular order) of priority stops while visiting one of my favorite places on earth:
Visit my cousin Milo in Chelsea! :)
Visit our friend Merris at Flying Television
Laugh, talk, and explore with two of my dearest friends!
