So, for Day 2 Show 1 of NNYFW (Naomi's NYFW) my stylist/personal assistant (me lol) had provided me with an excellent itinerary. I have not joined the Uber cult yet, I was determined to catch cabs, mostly because I was by myself. In cabs, I always take a quick pic of the driver taxi license, cab... Continue Reading →
