A different kind of video shoot // NYC trip
How to have a great consultation with your hairstylist
I had a really exciting opportunity come my way recently– I’ll share what I can about it!
I worked with BlogHer and a cosmetic company on 4 videos showing a variety of “looks”. The production crew was a lot of fun, and very gracious/patient/helpful/kind as I struggled through it. Plus, Caitlin, the makeup artist who assisted me (she could see how it looked in the monitor and made any adjustments–such a nice thing to have someone help with) was both talented and very helpful as well.
It was a long day for everyone, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Here are some “behind the scenes” shots from Caitlin.
These were only two of the four looks, and like I mentioned above–I’ll share more details when I can. ๐

And for those who don’t follow on twitter or instagram, here are a few snapshots from the rest of my time in NYC! The weather could not have been better. It was beautiful and sunny both days.
Tuesday was spent behind the camera the entire day, so all of these photos were taken on Wednesday.
Mr. Softee is just the best. I enjoyed this thoroughly. And nothing, nothing, makes you feel cooler than standing on the sidewalk by yourself eating an ice cream cone. #totallyworthit
I had a lovely lunch with Maura at RealSimple.com, and we chatted about some upcoming projects!
My friend Crystal (remember her from this post?) is so kind and hospitable. I stopped in the Waldorf Astoria to say “hi” and she gave me a behind the scenes tour of the kitchens, gave me delicious cupcakes, and showed me a few other “secret” places in the hotel. I wish I had more time to hang with her!
I finished the day with dinner at Pret A Manger. It was delicious!
New York City is really a pleasure to visit. This trip triggered so many memories from my trip with Justin last year and I’m hoping we can make it back here again soon.
I’m looking forward to sharing the final projects with you all when I can!

Your calves are rockin’! Good job!
Girl, I have total vacation (and hair.. and makeup!) envy! I’m so glad I could live vicariously through you via Instagram–NYC is my dream trip!
Hi! Just a couple questions: May I ask where you got your iphone case? I really like it! Is it rubber? Do you like it? Has it held up well? Just looking for a new one to protect my phone since I’ve occasionally dropped it. Also, is the fingernail polish in this post the Lucky Lucky Lavendar by OPI?
It’s from Pencil Shavings Studio, it’s not rubber, and I love it. Nail color is Neo Whimsical ๐
Hi Kate-
My husband & I are going to NYC at the end of the month & would love some restaurant recommendations?
What a cool project, I can’t wait to see more! I love Pret too ๐
Kristina does the Internets

I love love love NYC! I would love to go to blogger conference or something there, someday! You look just beautiful in all of these pictures by the way.

Oh, my goodness! What a completely fun trip! Cupcakes, ice cream, New York is a food Mecca. I’ve been once and SO love it there. My hubby’s been three times in the past year and he always hits me up for ideas of bakeries to visit. It looks like you had a blast!!
Awesome, I must say I am jealous of your little trip to NYC even though the flight delays were a pain. What nail color is that, it looks like the perfect spring/summer color?
Wow, looks like so much fun! You are so adorable and they are lucky to be working with you! Cheers!
Can’t wait to see the BlogHer stuff! Looks like you had fun!
XOXO

I must know where you got that polka dot top in the elevator pic! You look great, as always, and it seems like you had a good time in NYC. Thanks for all your fun posts!
I’m with you Laura Noll, Kate’s calves look incredible! I wish mine looked that shapely and beautiful! Your running and lower body workouts are amazingly effective!
That is so cool! Congratulations on being a part of something like that ๐

I also am distracted by the ice cream cone! The next time you plan a trip you need let Family In New York be part of the plans! They offer custom private New York tours. They can create a tour with your unique interests in mind, take you off the beaten path and show you NYC in a whole new way, and make sure at some point during your day you get ice cream.
whata a great blog! Fantastic opportunity, I am in NYC now visiting. I never get tiered of this wonderful city. Soon will be sharing it on my blog.
