After a crazy, whirlwind weekend I am finally back in my own (dorm) bed attempting to get back in the swing of things! This past weekend, I was chosen to attend Teen Vogue's Fashion University in New York City and with this also being my first time to the city, I was more than excited when Thursday morning came and I hopped on a plane. For those of you who are clueless as to what I'm talking about, Fashion University is a Teen Vogue sponsored event with classes being held by designers, models and editors aiming at the likes of anyone interested in a fashion career. After my amazing weekend, I strongly encourage any of you guys to apply for Fashion U next year! After my first day and a half of shopping in Soho and a meeting, the kick-off Fashion U event was hosted on Friday night at Express. With discounts, drinks, and more than enough fashion obsessing, it was the perfect start to meeting the other talented girls that would be attending classes the next day. On Saturday, I had a full day of seminars ranging from hearing about Coco Rocha's journey as a model to learning about how Express became a full-blown successful empire (and a conplimentary sweater!). Ending the day with a Topshop shopping event, I was luckily able enough to still fit in some sight seeing in Central Park, 5th Ave and my favorite pick of the trip: the top of the Empire State Building!
Sadly, the weekend events came to an end with a "graduation" on Sunday morning and then I was headed back to Columbia sooner than I thought. Later this week, I will be posting more about the street style from the other Fashion U students, as well as some outfits that I wore. I'll leave you all with some pictures of my weekend below!
