NYC Day 1

A diva in Geneva...off to NYC:

I am attending a weekend full of fashion and magazine seminars in NYC sponsered by Teen Vogue, one of my absolute favorite publications. The event is called Fashion University and is a program that I applied to. It offers the chance to learn the ins and outs of the fashion and magazine industries, both which I love. I will provide endless details tomorrow, but I will be meeting with some of the top fashion designers, editors of Teen Vogue and the author of a chicklit whose work has been turned into a movie. Stay tuned for the rest ...

I left school today for the city, perhaps my favorite place in the world. It was such an exhilerating feeling with my bags in hand about to board the plane. I love flying to NYC! The 45 minute flight is the perfect experience because I like to travel but hate being on planes for long periods of time. This brief jet-set gives me a chance to catch up on my celeb gossip, watch some of the Rachel Zoe Project on the individual tvs and then POOF...we land!

When I got out of the cab and stepped foot onto the sidewalk of NYC this evening, it was electrifying. The excitment of the city, the warm fall night, and the hussle and bussle was instantly amazing. I had a fabulous night of drinks, dinner and dessert. The perfect combo. A hidden gem I discovered is Milk & Cookies Bakery in Greenwich Village (19 Commerce Street). Its an adorable cozy shop that has every kind of cookie imaginable, as well as cupcakes, brownies and ice cream sandwiches. Not to mention, the nostalgic treat of chocolate chip cookies & a glass of milk. The intimate environment and traditional moldings reflect the comfort of this locale.
