I love fashion week but I also love the city of New York… a lot. Which is why I try to always squeeze in a few non-fashion related outings. Typically that means dining somewhere exciting, but high (no pun intended) on my list of places to check out in the big apple is the High Line. I’ve seen pictures and heard about it but couldn’t quite grasp what it really was. So before heading to a couple of shows in the meatpacking district I climbed the stairs to check out the view and walk (part of) the line. The only thing missing on my mini journey was a cold scoop of ice cream. Until next time…

On a style note, this Stella McCartney dress (also seen here) was my nyfw secret weapon. It went with almost everything and worked as the perfect base to pair jackets and cardigans with.
