A couple of my favourite outfits from the inspiration of the incredible city around me! I know it might sound stupid but being somewhere new, does give you the confidence to try things out that you never would do back home, like big fur coats with Dr. Martens! (it does always help when you have the excuse of -14 weather conditions).
Its a given that New York was incredible, but one of the most important things I took away from it was how much it taught me about myself. My confidence to just trust myself, being in a big city, getting lost and finding my way out. By the time I left 5 days later I felt as though I could happily live in New York alone and navigate my way around. I tried out different outfits and sales )and came home with a new wardrobe) that I just would never have the confidence to do back home. I also realised that I need to not compare what artistic background I have to others, I've got to fashion through a different route, and different doesn't always mean bad, its just different :)
Anyway here is my little New York Lookbook for the 5 days that I spent there (lets remember that I was wearing at least 8 layers on top and 3 on the bottom to keep me warm!) :)

DAY FIVE
Thats my fashion look book for New York pretty much summed up really. Primarily my main focus was researching New York so I didn't get loads of time for selfies, but you get the gist . . . but if you didn't then this should sum it up. I went to New York having never worn Dr. Martens before, and came back with 2 pairs (black and white) plus some Timberlands (and much more!)
