Best. Experience. Ever. You may remember that in the Fall I was invited to New York Bridal Fashion Week (NYBFW). And I LOVED it. To be invited back (this time for Spring NYBFW) was the best compliment of my life! Shout out to WedVibes, as being a member allowed me to get into even more shows! This time I made a full day of it, and even spent the night with my friend Diane from Dee Kay Events at the Lotte New York Palace, which was awesome!
The Shows
Sareh Nouri
This was a suuuuuper small show, which made it so cool! There were literally 10 people, which was amazing. Sareh was right there when you walked in, and it was SO cool to meet her! I loved being front and center for such an intimate event.
Anne Barge
The Anne Barge show was amazing! It was a single line show held on the Upper East Side. It was the only show that I went to that wasn’t in Midtown or Downtown, instead on the UES in her showroom. It was an absolute stunner, from the historic walk up to the gorgeous florals and catering.
Viktor&Rolf
This was a three-part show, featuring Viktor&Rolf, Justin Alexander, and Savannah Miller (which we didn’t attend - so much to see and so little time!). They had a flower bloom bar, where they made arrangements for all attendees. Viktor&Rolf was my favorite show of the whole day. I just died! I loved everything so much!
Galia Lahav

There were hundreds of people at this show in Soho. This one was WILD. From the music to the theatrics.. It was basically a party and fashion show all in one.
Union Square Couture Bridal Market
There were tons of different designers, and the coolest part was that it took place at The Palace, where we stayed! It was awesome to see models runwaying down the infamous staircase.
Hayley Paige Party
We ended the night at The Ivory Peacock in Midtown celebrating the rebirth of Hayley Paige’s line. If you’re not familiar, Hayley Paige signed a contract to work for JLM Couture in 2011, and in the process signed away the rights to her name early in her career. After years of battling it out in court, she regained the rights to use her own name, copyright to her past designs, and control of her social media accounts. She’s one of the biggest designers in the country, and now she’s back! For the Fall NYBFW, she’ll have a full runway, which I would love to see!
Coffees (and Matcha) I Drank
I HAD to include what I drank, obviously! While Maman and Ladurée were amazing, I had the best matcha I’ve ever had in my life. Period. At a brand new place, Moka Mo Coffee House in Soho. Ahhh!
My Outfits
All of my OOTDs! Styling, obvi! All looks courtesy of Bloomie’s in Shrewsbury and Amazon!
What. A. Day.
I was exhausted the next day. I actually napped, which is SO rare for me! It’s a lot. Going back and forth to different shows all over New York City in cabs and Ubers. BUT, it was literally the coolest thing I never even knew that I could be a part of! I’m just SO thrilled that I get to do this!
