This was our final full day in New York. We did so much while we were out there that I can't believe it was actually such a short trip. We woke up early to make the most of our remaining time, and headed to The High Line, a must see for those visiting the city. It's a renovated railway line elevated above the city which makes for a lovely walk and some spectacular views. It was so nice to be away from the traffic, and be able to walk around without bumping in to people.
After our peaceful stroll, we headed to FIT to check out the two exhibitions they had on, Fairy Tale Fashion and Denim: Fashion's Frontier. I wasn't that impressed by the denim exhibition, but the Fairy Tale Fashion exhibition was amazing. Some of the garments you could see were heavily influenced by the fairytales like the Red Riding Hood cape pictured above, whereas others were just beautiful gowns which I could've happily spent all day lusting over.
Next on our list of things to do was Chelsea Markets. It wasn't quite what I had expected. I had pictured more vintage and clothing stalls, but it was more of a food and homeware/gifts market. Within the building there was also the Artists & Fleas market which had lots of jewellery and gift items.
We continued our journey downtown and explored the West Village and SoHo area, home to all the designer stores. I felt a little out of place walking through the doors to Marc Jacobs, but it was nice pretending that I could actually shop at these places. We stayed out till the shops started closing, then caught the subway back, finishing off our evening with a meal at our favourite place Bread & Butter.
I hope you've enjoyed my New York blog series. Thanks for reading!
