My heads still throbbing, palms still sweating, and I’m playing “Used to Love Her” on repeat. I’m reverting back to my dreamy 13 year old youth, coming to think of it i think I’m reverting back fully. I’m back in military books, had my fringe cut in and am majorly swooning over guitarists.

Sante D’Orazio who took me to the Lamb after party for fashion week at Milk Studios.

Thankfully when I woke up with a fuzzy head and only vague memories of the night before, I had been invited to see them in an even more intimate setting, in Nur Khan’s Rose bar at the

Gramercy Park Hotel for just 100 of his closest friends  …finishing the night off at the Purple party on the roof. Words cannot explain ……

Rounding off my trip was a lunch at the Marc Newson designed restaurant Casa Lever with my most favourite POP blogging friends Laia, Elizabeth and Tavi, ladies New York wouldn’t be the same without seeing you!… we should have asked Dasha to steal us one of those Warhols!
