so many crazy things happened while i was in the city, to even list a few is going to be a feat.

1.  amazing place to people watch. everywhere was a runway. union square was a haven of hipster fashion icons and young, confident trend-setters.
2.  my studio became my second home. spending six hours a day in class; sketching, drawing, learning, draping, finishing and presenting became a normal cycle in my life.
3. the stores. the retail in this city is enough to drive any shopoholic manic. saks fifth avenue, barneys, alice + olivia, free people, made well and the little vintage finds were among my favorite. to touch and visually see great designers work hanging on a rack right in front of you is a great feeling
4.  making friends. i walked into this experience without anyone. now i walk out with strong friendships, a few snapshots of a long beach trip to a friends house and at least one item of clothing that is someone else's. 
5.  the independent handbag designer awards. (IHDA) had an amazing time interning and assisting the event photographer.   learning my way around this business one step at a time.
