(Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah)

Paying homage to our personal favourite Blur. team holiday spot, New York.

All models are staff members, shot and written by Rae Martins in February.

1. Central Park

The best location for snow, with scenic views and right between The Met and Broadway, you'll never want to leave. Take snow pictures, relax and reminisce about Friends the TV show.


2. Broadway Ave

With access to all the must-stop-shops in New York, Broadway is the perfect place for fashion lovers - running straight through Manhattan you won't ever get sick of the gorgeous views.


3. Views from Brooklyn Bridge

What's better, the view OF Brooklyn Bridge or the view FROM Brooklyn Bridge? We love both, but check this view of these insane skyscrapers from the beloved bridge.


4. Murals on Second Ave

Check this colourful mural on Second Ave with the perfect message "Love Comes in Every Colour", just outside a Goodwill - bargain!


5. Lexington Ave Scenes

This picturesque Traffic Control box caught our attention, and we're obsessed with these New York graffiti tags!


6. Macy's

A fashion classic, we had to visit the famous Macy's and tick it off our bucket list. Bloomingdale's and Bergdorf's were also very high on our list, maybe next time!


7. NYPD FREEZE

See Judean with two NYPD officers, stood outside The Mark Hotel waiting for Meghan Markle to arrive.


8. Magazine Paradise

A wall of style titles in a newsagent on Third Ave, catch American issues from Vogue to Garage.


9. Subway Life

Catch the train with us, from Lexington Ave 53 St to Downtown Brooklyn - surprisingly less steamy than the central line.


10. Empire State of Mind

The view from Empire State, looking down on the New York skyline at night - who needs a starry night when you have such a twinkly skyline.


11. Tickets Please?

Buying tickets for the Subway - cash only!


12. Views: Pt 2

Another stunning view from the Brooklyn Bridge...because we couldn't help it.


13. Fashion Institute of Technology

One of the most prestigious colleges in the fashion industry, and we were lucky enough to take a peek in.


14. Fashion Institute of Technology: Pt 2

Inside the exhibition - we saw the students graduate exhibition, among our favourites, was this corset piece including retro adverts based on the average woman and her corset.


15. Times Square

A classic tourist attraction for New York, with an exciting ambience among the many tourists and a sense of holiday. The views go hand-in-hand with the many restaurants and eateries nearby, making it a day-long attraction.


16. The Actual Brooklyn Bridge

Here we show the view of the Brooklyn Bridge, from the end looking towards the centre. This location means it's impossible to get photos without tourists and distractions in the background which is why we saw this as a causal opportunity and looked at it as more of a tourist trip than a business trip.


17. Views From the Crib

We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in E 53rd St on Lexington Ave. We credit them for the comfy beds, insane views and willingness to help us get around and find interesting New York spots.


18. Let Me Take A Selfie

New York sun had us addicted to taking selfies, find CEO and Editor Rae's sunny New York selfies.


19. THE MET...STEPS?

An overview of The Met in a muted beige hallway and, Gossip Girl, the reference we've all been waiting for. Unfortunately, once we had left The Met, the snow made it impossible to take photos of the actual steps but best believe we went.


20. Maison Margiela and Dover Street

This Maison Margiela display at Dover Street Market NY caught our attention straight away with the draped and minimal backdrop, one of our favourite luxury brands along with Miu Miu and MGSM.


21. Maison Margiela and Dover Street: Pt 2

These Maison Margiela boots were also massive show stoppers to us, the glitter and the camel toes were interesting aspects and typical from both Maison Margiela and Dover Street.


Been to New York and have any extra locations that you think we'll vibe with? Get in contact via our homepage - we hope you enjoyed the Big Apple as much as we did!
