the HighLine in NYC

In NYC the place to see and be seen this summer is the HighLine. Re-purposing a defunct elevated train track into an amazing park has given New Yorkers a perfect place to promenade. The HighLine starts at Gansevoort and Washington Streets in the trendy Meat Packing District and ends at W 20th St between 10th and 11th Avenues (with plans to eventually go all the way to 34th St). Once you’re above the hustle and bustle of the city you can follow the tracks past wild flowers, recline on fabulous oversize lounge chairs or watch the 10th Avenue traffic through cinematic plate glass windows. The butterflies aren’t the only ones spreading their wings on the HighLine. Vibrant summer solids and daring prints adorn the downtown chic in the form of floor length halter and strapless dresses. You’ll also spot well above the knee monochromatic t-shirt dresses that hang 80’s style from only one shoulder.
