a city summer

although i still am continuing to sweat for fashion in my semi-fall clothes, summer is nearing its end and colder trends keep approaching. after spending nearly a month in NYC scouring the city for fabulous finds, taking classes at the Fashion Institute, and conquering the subway, i return to HauteSauce with inspiration exuding. while in the city that never sleeps, i couldn't make myself sit at a laptop and write about what was outside of me at that very moment. i would have missed opportunities like seeing Elle's Erin Kaplan from The City walking past me on Broadway and 51st as well as strolling through Saks after Mass at St. Patrick's on a Sunday afternoon.


The Met: American Woman Fashioning a National Identity. This exhibit literally gave me goosebumps.
