I have given up posting things in order because I am happy to just get these memories written down. For my Birthday, Jed's mom, my mom and I went to NYC for Fashion Week. It was absolutely dreamy. Even though it was February and a bit chilly, it was so amazing to be in the Big Apple for Jed's little brother's runway show.
We had an awesome room at the Helmsley Park Lane hotel which faced central park right smack between the Plaza and the Ritz. It was amazing. My mom surprised me with a delicious chocolate cake and strawberries delivered to our room and both moms treated me to wonderful food throughout our stay in the city.
After a trip to the MOMA and a tiny snow shower, we finished our first day with some yummy local pizza. Then, we decided to make Monday all about fashion (to prepare ourselves for the runway show that evening) by spending the entire day hitting the sites...I mean shops around central park. We were able to scope out Thom Browne almost everywhere we went. We had an unexpected Mally make-over at Henri Bendel then a light lunch before getting ready for the show.
Unlce Steve, Kim and one of Daniel's friends met us at the fashion show at the NYC public library...you know, the one with the big lion statues out front. We arrived just in time to see Daniel prepping the models to go in for their final walk. BEAUTIFUL!!! I still can't wrap my head around the fact that all these designs came from Daniel's head, onto paper then transformed into these gorgeous creations. It was so powerful to see his work in person and see "him" in so many of the clothing pieces. Thom Browne invited us all backstage for a toast after the show then we finished the evening with all the runway show details over dinner and dessert.Thom Browne Fall 2012 Video

We did get to spend much of the next day with Daniel and see the NYC highline, have brunch in Soho and do a little shopping before going out to see Mary Poppins that night.
Thank you moms and Daniel for a Birthday I will never forget (and Jed for staying home with the kiddos of course)!
