EXHIBIT | Front Row @ MOCA


Right before making the move to NYC for the summer, I did some research into what exhibits and events were going to be happening while I was in the city and I came across the Museum of Chinese in America. They have a fantastic exhibit on right now featuring Chinese American designers doing amazing work in the fashion industry.



From Vera Wang and Jason Wu to Anna Sui and Phillip Lim, there is such a great variety of designers. Curated by Mary Ping, the exhibit features both legendary Asian fashion influencers as well as young, up-and-comers. Each designer chose a piece (or a couple of pieces) to display and there were videos playing around the room where you could watch and listen to interviews. They were fascinating. 








 I absolutely love Vera Wang...I'd love to meet her someday.


If you get a chance, I definitely recommend checking it out! The exhibit runs through til December 1. For more details, visit http://www.mocanyc.org

NYC Summer 2013 | Week 12 In Photos


Week 12 was a bit hectic because I moved into a new place, the Webster Apartments, which was quite the task with the amount of stuff I have accumulated over the summer. The photo above is the view from its amazing rooftop. Such an oasis in the middle of the city. The Webster is exclusively for working women and girls who are interning in the city. 


 Paradise, simply paradise.

 Glimpse into my room


 There's tons of cute living room space to hang out in (since the bedrooms are quite tiny, these are really nice)

 Located on West 34th St. between 9th & 10th Aves
