Dear New York,

I’ve got to say, you’ve given me quite the experience but it was the most rewarding seeing you a 2nd time around. Fashion Week was killer, more than last time. You brought me a few cold days, a couple miserable days and enough sunny days to give me an ounce of love for you. You always sway me back to you when I walk your streets and discover new treats and eats and people. I never met so many creative people in my life in one city and I have you to thank for that. We all come to you to give us inspiration for our livelihood. We all want you to direct us- it’s a lot of us to expect from you, no?

I’m sorry for wanting you to be more than what my dreams made you to be. You are just one and it’s up to us to make the most of you. I think my number has come up.

I love you, New York.

Always,

Christina

    I’m not even going to contemplate how long it took you to create that video, but it was worth it! Awesome! And thanks for including Lee and me in it!

    Girl, you are fierce! I love these photos. I wish that NYC was as much as you hoped it’d be! Kind of a bummer. But hey, there’s always plan b, c, d, and all the others!

    Um I just fell in love with you already over again. That video was sick and I just had a huge smile on my face when the video was just of you laughing towards the end.

    You rocked NYC, love. SO glad I got to share some of it with you!

    P.s. whats the last song on the video? A little obsessed.

    XO,

      The last song for the video is Just Can't Get Enough by Black Eyed Peas, right, AMAZING?!?! I'm so glad we got to hang out, you're like a long lost BFF.

    Love the rings!They are SO great! Photography is great too!

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      I have a major obsession with rings, it’s rather ridiculous! Glad you like the photos!

    Great choice of song. I put a lot of stock in NYC too when I moved there. I only ended up staying 6 months (it wasn’t my choice to leave though), I wish I could go back with my mindset now. I’d probably accomplish more.

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      Ya I wanted something that compiled as well as told the story. I hope it did! Do you think you’ll make your way back?

      • http://www.riamichelle.com Ria Michelle

        I’m unsure because though I love NYC, now being back in Florida I’m like man it gets so cold there. :( Odd since when I moved from Trinidad as a 7 year old kid, I lived in NJ for most of my life so I was always in the city. Now I can’t take the cold. I think if I move out of Florida it’d be somewhere in California, my bf loves it and I can’t see him in NYC for more than a visit.

    Such a cute photo diary. I’ll make sure to see you more next time you visit. So strange it was like a big fashion week blur.. it all went too fast

  • www.Nubiasnonsense.com

    Great pics. I MUST see you more when you return. Fashion week went by so quick. It was all such a blur lol

    Looks like you had fun =)

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      Yes, most definitely love! Fashion week seriously went by so quickly, I was surprised it was over. I’d say that Feb vs. Sept. are very different in comparison. I’ll always choose Sept. over Feb any day!

    Amazing video…So sweetly evocative. I have been to New York approximately once but this confirms what I thought, it would be too easy a place to fall in love with. J’adore!

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      It’s definitely so easy to fall in love with this amazing city. As long as your eyes and ears are always open and you’re willing to speak your mind, you’d do just fine in that big, open city!

  • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

    It was so great hanging with you Lee for a bit during my time there! See you next season, so glad you’re coming out for FW now!
