A mix of some of my favourite moments in New York during Fashion Week...it is such an amazing city to visit, and I love that no matter how many times you go there is always something new and exciting to see and do.

I know how helpful city guides can be, so wanted to share a few of my NYC musts here:

Comedy Cellar - 117 Macdougal St, New York, NY 10012 - I love going to broadway shows while in New York, but I am also a huge fan of stand up comedy and for as little as $15 you can get enjoy an evening seeing big names like Louis CK and Dave Attell.
