In all the years that I’ve had a crazy love and respect for all things fashion, I’d never been to principle fashion capital of the world, New York City, until this past Tuesday. Please don’t judge. I too have flaws. It’s not that I can’t go, to eliminate excuses, I just never made the time to go. Now that I’m in the process of expanding the Blushing Black network, this is truly a trip I have on my radar now for sure!
I was fortunate enough to visit this week for work and had the splendid chance to see and visit NY and New Jersey. The only downfall: the schedule was all work and no play. Don’t get me wrong; the work I did and people I met on my trip for my company was nothing short of amazing. I had a blast! I just wish I had some time to roam and play a bit.

For the little bit of time I was there, I got to ride through the city at night and actually see the landmarks and the city lights. Although most of the places were closed by that time, I rode long enough to conclude New York is an amazing city to visit. The shops, the eats, the fashion, the focus….I loved it all! The culture reminds me a lot of Miami’s: a huge melting pot.
I’m super grateful for the experience, but I’m already plotting and planning a trip back.
{P.S. Hello Brooklyn….how you doin’? Thanks for taking care of me during my stay.}
New York is a beautiful place to visit. I’m sure you’re ready to go back.
On your next visit it will be even more satisfing for the fact you would have more personal time to enjoy the city more at your leisure.
