| At the BCBG runway |
Last week, I was extremely fortunate to win a contest with Lucky Magazine for their first ever Lucky Instameet at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. It was a whirlwind of an event. I had found out I had been selected on Monday and then off to NYC by Wednesday. Thursday morning I found myself at Lincoln Center. IMG, Instagram and Lucky Magazine put together a great behind the scenes tour to Fashion Week. The winners got to check out the new exhibition space and all the new runways. We even got a glimpse backstage at Richard Chai as they were prepping for the runway.
The finale of our event was a meet and greet with Eva Chen, Editor-in-Chief of Lucky Magazine, and some special guests. If you follow Eva on Instagram and wondered what she was like in real life, her bubbly and energetic personality don't just come through on her photos. She was extremely gracious and kind; made sure that everyone had their photo taken with her even though she was running late to another event. To be so thoughtful of the contest winners was so sweet, you just want to be friends with her.... which is probably why she brought so many great special guests in tow our Instameet! Two of my favorite fashion bloggers, Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast and Aimee Song of Song of Style were there. Aimee even brought Dani (my favorite Song sister)! The model, sometimes blogger, Soojoo Park was also there in between runway shows! It was a great afternoon of gushing, oohing and ahhing and picture snapping.

Thank you Lucky for making a fashion dream come true. It was truly an amazing event to meet so many cool and influential industry people and bloggers. I had the best time and hope to return some day to Fashion Week. Until next time....
