Brooklyn Bridge Walk

Zara dress, Asos Sunnies, HM Hat, New Balance Sneakers, Forever21 Earings 

The thing is that wandering through Manhattan by myself was one of the most great thing I've ever experienced. I've been here before, but doing whatever I want to do was something I wanted to do since a long time. I though being there during Fashion Week was the best time - all of those bloggers and designers in a same city is kind of grandiose. Paris FW is not the same, but I can't wait just to wander through the city to see what it's going to be like.
Back to Brooklyn - on that day, I took the train and went to Clark St just to wander through the famous "Brooklyn Heigh Promenade" - there's a huge difference between the high level of energy in Manhattan and the quiet of Brooklyn Heigh. I loved that place and those little streets - no need to say that those Town houses are the dream house. 

Then as a local - or as a lover of Manhattan - I walked down the Brooklyn Bridge to join the other side of the island and arrived in the Financial District just right next to the Freedom Tower at Ground Zero. I remember that day precisely because it was 9/11, and I guess I won't forget the atmosphere on that particular day. 
I wore a navy blue dress from Zara and my beloved New Balance 501 I bought just the day before. They made such a difference. 
Hope you had a great September so far!

NYFW - THEORY


Being in New York is kind of surreal. I was coming here for the FW, and even tho I couldn't assist any Fashion Show, I tasted the incredible feeling of being in a city during a major event as Fashion Week. I went outside the Theory FS, and let me tell you, I just was impressed by the outfits every girl pulled off. I got quite a lot of compliments about the dress from SHEINSIDE I pulled off that day, and I'm pretty proud of it - some people are so nice here - as this guy from the Joie store in Chelsea.

Lisa Kulson made an incredible job, after Theyskens left - she demonstrated that Theory was all about chic, simple, neutral and luxurious clothes. That was I love about this designer. Nothing is left on the edge. My favorite style was the sleeveless trench - which is perfect for the next season.

This is a bit of a fashion diary of that day - I wandered through Meatpacking and the Chelsea Market just before heading to the show of Theory. Being true to myself, I can say that this is one of my favorite hood in Manhattan. Nothing is quite trendy and friendly as the people living there. I strolled through Greewinch Village on the morning of that day, and found the most perfect coffee place (more on that later - thought it'd be cool to do a City Guide, right?)

Kimono Embraces Strappy



Sometimes, a all black outfit makes the trick. Even more when it's a kimono wrap dress that you pair with some strappy heels from Saint Laurent.

As The Sun Rises

Zara Shirt, Levi's Shorts, Nike Shoes, Vintage Scarf and bag

September - let it bloom. Autumn is my favorite season, and I'm glad it's finally back. I can't get enough of the sun, and that's why I love summer, but every good thing has to come to an end.
I imagine a lot of you are going back to your normal activities such as work.
I think it'll be a special post, and as I said it before, cheers to new beginnings.
I realized I started to think about opening this blog just a year ago, and I'm glad I finally did it. I know there's a really important part of work and motivation that keeps me going on, but as I though about it, I really love writing those posts and creating something from nothing with the help of a lot of people, indeed.
September means a lot of things and for the most, it means new beginnings. I know I haven't post as much as I wanted to, but as you may know now, my vacation was more about adventure than tanning and resting next to an infinity pool. I can't complain as I had the best vacation.
I'm starting to learn how to share my time between what I love and what I have to do with my studies and college going on. I found out that I have to take every opportunity.
Embracing the immensity of things and just learning to look around is something I learnt recently, and which taught me a lot. This is real lesson that could help you all down the road.

Those pictures were taken in one of my favorite place I get to discover and go for the first time: the Fortress of Masada. I wore a shirt from Zara and my Levi's shorts. I used my beloved scarf as a turban - just to keep it in style.. 
I think, there are not a lot of people who know the real story behind the whole thing, which is real, as we found a lot of elements proving this was real and true. I'm not going to relate them, but I've learnt that true bravery does exist and it took efforts. Fear can't be your worst enemy or your best ally, and in some case, fear can push your boundaries beyond the limits you create for yourself.
Enough for the philosophic thoughts, but the point I hope I made is that fear can be useful.. Hope you're having a great Monday!
