project runway & fashion week...

as i announced last week - my good friend margaret's hubby planned this incredible trip for her (and me!!!!) to fly to new york...attend the project runway finale fashion show...during fashion week...

what.a.fun.time.we.had...not only beng able to attend the finale of a show that i literally have watched since the first season it was on...but to be able to be close to where all the fashion shows take place...during the start of fashion week...

so...new york's weather did not disappoint - it was beautiful & sunny & perfect...we headed to the lincoln center (first year here for fashion week) and...the first person we bump into is nigel barker - photographer...and he begged to take a picture with me...and so i had to oblige...ok...maybe that isn't quite how it happened...but in any event...here is our pic together... =)



we were seriously so excited to be attending this event...here is our first official picture together at the memorable event...


once inside...loved seeing the infamous runway sign...that up until this point i had only seen on tv...year after year...



we found our seats...and could not contain our excitement...



the beautiful host of the show...heidi klum...she is SO beautiful...and moreso in person...imagine our excitement when she announced that we would be seeing the remainder 10 contestants and their lines...



we sat across from the judges...guest judge was jessica simpson...they did not give anything away...in fact...they did very little writing as we normally see on tv...but that is ok...the fashion show was unbelievable...

jessica simpson, nina garcia, michael kors, heidi klum
can you guess which designers look was coming down the runway when the judges had these lovely looks on their faces?? =) i cannot reveal...haha...actually this was not during the show...but i do wonder what caused such facial expressions...


and may i say...of the top three looks that i loved...one was already kicked off this last week...so the winner is a toss up...it is anyone's guess...

here was the contents of our gift bag...such fun items...and who doesn't love getting a gift?



my hope was to meet tim gunn...that would have made this trip that much more special...but alas...the closest i got to seeing him was his pic on his book in my gift bag...oh well...the trip was still pretty perfect...


but to ease my disappointment in not seeing him...the man i have SO much respect for...i headed out to central park...and my most favoite spot there...total serenity...
