Front row at a Fashion Show?! Girl please!!

Good evening or Good morning! (wherever you are in the world)

It is snowing again here in New York and has been absolutely freezing! Like so bitterly cold that you have to wrap every part of your body up when you go outside, otherwise you get frostbite. This means you either have to wear a ski mask that makes you look like a robber (that could be interesting in Grand Central Terminal). Or you wrap a scarf around your whole face and just leave a slit for your eyes so only your eyes get frostbite (I don't think that could happen or could it?). I prefer the scarf look, as the whole mask deal... well kinda creepy.

Anyway I braved this cold winter last Friday and stepped outside in just tights and a jumpsuit (don't worry I did have a coat,scarf and was wearing gloves). But that didn't really help my legs much... well at all. But anything for style my amigos, as I was going to a Couture Fashion Show! Ekkkkk Honestly one of the most amazing nights. Sitting in the front row of a REAL New York fashion show. It really is just like you see it on TV, with the big runway that is layed out in a 'n' shape and at the top of the runway all the photographers (like so many of them). And watching all these amazing designs come down the runway, hoping that that model doesn't trip or that dog doesn't start biting everyone (yes there was a dog in the fashion show), or that lady's boobs don't fall out (use tape people, use tape). It was really such a great show and I'm so happy I went, because it was one of the things I just HAD to do before leaving New York. It was on my invisible list of things to do.

 I took a photo of every design and a few videos of the ones that I loved. But I will only show you a few. The Designers were Laura Angelica Moss, Alvertis Alexander, Baqash Wilson, Berny Martin, Matthew Cashe and Rashad Colhoun. I've never heard of any of these designers but they were brilliant!

One Year in the Big Apple!

I cannot believe I have lived in New York now for one whole YEAR! I remember the first few months of being here, it was very difficult; learning a new culture, living in someone else's house, making new friends, going to a new church, living without my parents for the first time, the MANY coins (why America?!). But it was also very exciting, living in a new place, living in NYC (hello best place in the world), going to Broadway shows, Brooklyn bridge, being a grown up, acting like I understood pounds at the gym (awkward), being told my accent was amazing in every store, learning American words, and always having something to do!

To this day people still have no idea what I am saying (I am speaking English and no I am not Spanish). I have had to learn how to spell my last name with an American accent and have actually had to learn a lot of words to say in an American accent, otherwise it takes Americans a very, very longtime to understand what I'm actually saying or this happens, 'that was really rude Krystal' and I will go, 'what? how is 'teddy bear' a rude word.' yes it is very funny sometimes!

I have made lifelong friends, they are the bees knees!! So happy to have them all in my life, you may know them as #Wolfpack. We have done some crazy stuff together that we will remember forever. One of my friends left today who I began this whole NYC journey with, which is so very sad and strange that she will no longer be here!

Also being a volunteer at church has just been amazing my team is the best, so supportive, caring and loving!
