Hey y'all!
It's been an insanely long amount of time since I've updated you guys on where I've been and what I've been up to. For that, I apologize! As I'm sure most of you know, I'm working towards being active consistently on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and you can always find fresh, in-the-moment content from me there!

I'm happy to be back in Boston and writing this from the comfort of my couch and my worn-down pair of house slippers. It was, to say the least, A LOT. Nothing quite prepares you for the emotional and physical turmoil that you feel as you hop from show to event to show and change from outfit to outfit. It was definitely a dream, don't get me wrong - but nonetheless I was DONE by the end of the week and ready to sleep in and actually sit down and not live off of granola bars and leftovers from takeout the night before. In total, my experience was one to remember, and I feel more than lucky and extremely grateful to have had the opportunities I did during this time.
One of the best parts was certainly having the chance to meet so many people in the industry and a lot of my social media friends, IRL. Without NYFW, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to have dinner and meet up with girls from New York, North Carolina, San Francisco, Florida, and beyond! I also wouldn't have been able to meet brand contacts from London, or visit the Steve Madden clubhouse had it not been for this week. If there's one thing I can say, it's that it's worth it.
I truly felt so much more solidified in the fashion industry and amazed at the amount of work and effort that's put into each show, event, and even goodie bag! NYFW is not for the weak, and I was living the dream for 6 days!
With that, I recently posted Part 1 of my NYFW recap on my Youtube Channel and would love for you to check it out! Part 2 will be coming up shortly and I can't wait to share more about this special week with y'all soon!
Xo,
Lo
