Coming off of the longest, possibly the hardest, and certainly the most rewarding week of my time in New York.  I feel exhausted, I feel validated, I feel happy — and I feel if I keep working hard, I can  do this. 
I had one of those moments today where I was so, so happy to be here, and once again struck by how incredible life is in this place. There are countless things to uncover, and when it’s not overwhelming, it’s the best place to be young, curious and free.
How lucky I am…

the good bye

From my final East Village outing with the Cole Haan team — it is with sadness and exhilaration that I am moving forward this week toward new opportunities. 
Many great days, great thoughts and incredible, talented people at CH.
