This past holiday weekend, I went to New York with my sister to visit our brother and to do a little networking for Limani Designs. I had the best time hanging out in Brooklyn and being a little bit touristy in Manhattan, but not too much. The best part of going to New York is that I’ve already done a lot of tourist attractions, so now it’s even more fun exploring the neighborhoods and not dealing with the massive amount of crowds everywhere. I definitely blended in Brooklyn with my weekend color scheme of black and burgundy. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful weekend and stay tuned for more photos.

If you have a chance to go to The Metropolitan Museum by February 1st, I highly recommend visiting the Death Becomes Her, A Century of Mourning Attire exhibit at the Costume Institute. I went with my brother a few weeks back and had a great time. Although it was a dark exhibit it was really interesting and the gowns were beautiful.
Here are some of our instagrams from the exhibit:
I also attended my first art installation: tears become… streams become at the Park Avenue Armory. That exhibit has finished, but there’s a cool video on the website. Again, it was a bit dark, but I guess our theme for the trip was dark art, but beautiful art.
Happy new year HAMR readers! I’m excited for my first post of 2015! Last week, I went on a bit of an end-of-the-year hiatus to New York. It was a much needed break and a fun way to end the year. Since it was my third time visiting NYC this past year, it was a bit more of a chill trip visiting my brother and some friends.
It might be a while until I go back, just because there are so many places I still want to visit, but New York is always inspiring with its bright lights, big city feel. How did you all ring in the new year?
