Muffins and FIT

One of the hardest things coming to terms with over in New York was the immense jet lag!! I was continuously waking up at ridiculous hours of the morning as were Jess and Mimi, and we were becoming very fidgety having to wait till breakfast! The beds were very comfy and the room was quite nice, despite some weird mouldings on the ceiling which looked slighty dodgy! However to entertain ourselves through the morning, we found old school programmes on the tv such as Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Saved by the Bell...absolute classics. We'd watch these as each one of us took turns to have showers. Oh the showers. The one thing that I hated on my trip. We couldn't for the life of us figure out how to use them, so between the 3 of us, we were either frozen cold or scolding hot! Not the greatest start to the day. Though once breakfast arrived (free muffins and tea!) We'd forgotton about the awful showers and Jess and I spent the time trying to sneak lots of muffins back to the table! Cranberry, Blueberry and Oats....mmmm they were yummy! This morning we knew we had somewhere that we had to go...the FIT museum, where we would be seeing two exhibitons...'American Beauty' and 'Day and Night.' As we all worked our way down to FIT separately, you could see Fashion students everywhere! It was like a mob of them! As we all gathered into the entrance hall, with Starbucks in our hand, we waited patiently to be taken down to the exhibits. My favourite definately was American Beauty. Some of the dresses we saw there...In particular the red number shown here, were absolutely beautiful and were made with absolute precision. It was so calm and peaceful underneath in the exhibit however the lights and surroundings made it seem a bit dull and I felt it didn't make the clothes stand out as well as the could have. Although this would probably be to help preserve the clothes. It was nice to see these exhibits though we were still excited for the next part of our day, we had lots and lots of plans and places to see.
