For as long I can remember I always had dreams of attending New York Fashion Week, even before I started blogging. Sometimes the stars align up perfectly and dreams can become a reality. Here’s how it all went down..

I was originally supposed to be traveling out of town for a work-related conference the weekend of NYFW, so I already knew and accepted the fact that this wasn’t going to my year to make it up to Big Apple. My sister-in-law was the one who landed tickets to the Rebecca Minkoff show which would have been my ultimate top choice of shows to attend this year. I’ve been a huge Rebecca Minkoff fan for years and would have picked her show over anyone else if I ever had the opportunity. I found out the morning she left for New York that my work meeting had been cancelled. This was it, a door opened up to an opportunity of a lifetime and all I needed to do is get up to NYC.

I booked a 9:25 AM train ticket at 8:24 AM, and of course missed that train trying to scramble to pack up to get everything I needed for a night in the city. I rebooked my train ticket while riding my Uber to Union Station for 10:00 AM, which happened to be $9 cheaper (score!), and I finally made it on my way. I spent the majority of the train ride getting ready as I would have to book it to the hotel as soon as I arrived in New York.

I arrived at the hotel a little after 1:00 PM and quickly changed into the outfit I packed straight from my newest shipment from FashionPass, and we were out the door on our way to the 2:00 PM show. I didn’t really know what to expect when we arrived but it was seriously a dream come true and I’ll hold onto these memories of my first NYFW show for life.

Not only was Rebecca’s spring collection amazing, it was so insanely cool to see her there in the flesh. Now that I’ve (somehow) experienced the reality of New York Fashion week once, I can’t wait to actually make plans to attend in the future as it’s such an amazing experience for a fashion lover like myself. After the show ended we were obviously inspired to head down to the Rebecca Minkoff storefront down in Soho to get in some shopping before heading back to DC.

Until next time, NYFW.
