"Still in awe of this incredible city–I see something new everyday that makes me stop in the middle the street, stare and think 'Wow, only in NYC.' I still dont have any directional sense of this city but that makes it more of an adventure.

Day 5: My friend Kristin has left town so I'm cruising solo in the big city, but still keeping busy and meeting up with people I know around town. I had an amazing brunch at an Italian place called Gemma– remember that name (it was so good I went back for dinner). Between brunch and dinner I did a super cool shoot on the city streets in a brand called Rogan, which we styled with some Nike gear. That night I hit up the Rebecca Minkoff after-par-tay at my hotel.

Day 6: I had a day off! So I took advantage by sleeping in, ordering room service, and shopping the streets (damaged my credit card). I also found some cool designer and vintage buys, then went on a huge shopping spree at Nike Town, which is five stories high! Yup, I was in heaven.

Only two days left in this incredible city so stay tuned.

Enjoy,
Laura"
