 good morning it is a early morning 5 24 and I am already at Amber's house here she comes look who he is oh got a letter in good morning oh my god we are on our way to the airport excited yes okay yeah it's early this is why it's awesome to travel with Amber look what she did she marked up the whole map with all the places that we want to go where our hotel is in reference when places are open when they're closed I should sell these masks you really should this is amazing so what I'm gonna see the other way oh this is the one about food and the FIT museum okay and restaurants near us near that awesome well made it to New Jersey we flew in to Newark we are waiting for the train to take us into the city if you've never traveled here before it's a neat trick that you can get a flight into New Jersey and then take the train trains like $13 versus a cab from JFK or Maguardia which would be like sometimes a hundred dollars so it's not the most expedient way to get there we have to wait like 30 40 minutes for the train and then the train will take another 30 minutes but the good news is nothing's open yet like we're not anything right now the plan for today is the FIT museum and mood and neither of those places open until 10 on Saturday but we are also very hungry we need our second breakfast because we both ate breakfast at 4 30 at like 4 30 5 in the morning so it's basically like our lunchtime already so we are slowly but surely making our way there saving money for fabric because that's what's most important yes so we'll see I've never done this train thing before or maybe I have one time like a long time ago I just don't remember none of this seems familiar so it should be fun the little airport air train that we took over here was already very exciting for us kind of felt like Disney a little bit took it out all the dirty snow yeah we saw snow for probably the first time in a couple years neither of us have seen snow it was even falling it was just frozen on the ground like dirty and gross but still snow to us so but yeah I felt like a Disney ride in a way so the rest of the train ride should be scenic I'm anticipating traveling through lots of neighborhoods and I don't know I don't really know what to expect yeah so we shall see but we are just waiting there's like not a lot of people here I don't know if that's normal maybe like a couple dozen of us but I wonder I wonder how close we were to catching the train before this one did it just and if our first plane had been late yes maybe that's true and we stopped to go to the bathroom and we were in the very back of the plane so we're the last ones to get off and we had to check our get a gate check our bags we had to wait for that so there's a chance we could have made the earlier train if we didn't have all of that for sure we would have caught an earlier one I still know how close it actually was so yeah still have the whole day yeah still lots of time when in fact I'm just mostly hungry yeah I just really want to get our hotel has they offer breakfast to the guests and even technically we're not a guest yet we are hoping that they let us have breakfast yeah we'll just act I don't do they ask for our like room number or anything this is a different hotel is it keep thinking it's the same one that's for a room number I don't know what what we do my 813 hours and they're like we don't have an 813 like we'll tell you later yeah can I get a rain jacket on that you just act like you yeah just walk in anyway so yeah that's the update for now it is like what is it 9 9 almost 940 so yeah check in soon had a bit of an issue checking in I had booked the reservation but for some reason they put it under Amber's name so there's like this whole thing they had to call the place and all along all we had to do is give them but the good news is we got in at like 11 and they had our room ready so we were able to go ahead and put our stuff in our room and kind of get freshened up and use the bathroom and of course check the Wi-Fi so after we did all that we are on our way to get some lunch as a priority and then we are headed to the FIT museum so we have about maybe what like half a mile walk so we're hoping to find some food along the way because we're at this point we're starving the whole training experience took a lot longer than we thought probably an hour all in all and then to walk to the hotel for sure like a little more than an hour so we are definitely hungry it's past our meal time we can't be getting hangry on our first day so we're gonna go eat so I would basically wear this in a heartbeat it's only from 2015 it's like wax print and Oxford Shirting and then look at the quilting on this leather dress so freaking cool this is the black fashion designers exhibit at FIT really pretty look at this one the black is all hand-beated work Tina Turner's dress pretty super cool walk a lot FIT museums like 13 blocks or so from our hotel maybe more 15 anyways so we're we worked up another appetite so we're gonna get we're gonna share a burger and some fries now but FIT museum was awesome we had a really great time I tried to get some video but we kept getting in trouble for taking video so I had to stop I got some pictures too but it was really really cool the most impressive one was the Adrienne exhibit that guy's freaking master but honestly all the detail was so cool so awesome it was our favorite sorry we had to order anyways the Adrienne exhibit was really really awesome it was my favorite part although the Parisian fashion one was just really inspiring to look at because it's so iconic they had the Mondrian dress there which was cool and just like a ton of really cool stuff from the 50s and 60s in Paris which was awesome right what did you think I loved it all yeah we have a lot of like our brains are so full of imagery right now and it's very inspiring to see all those things the black question room was really nice too really impressive yeah I don't know I never really thought of fashion being black or white or anything else so I guess it was nice to see them being recognized so it was really cool we made it to mood we have not been here since they redid everything so we're gonna check it out just went straight downstairs to the Knits and we are just looking around they have so much to choose from so I am trying to restrain myself and not by everything I love and only by the things I really think I'm going to make like in the next few months unlike other trips where I've just fought everything so we will see I will show you as we find some things that we like so I'm here I've moved Becky hey Becky and look I got this fabric cut and look Becky made a bag yeah so it was meant to be my first cut and I run into Becky and she was on the fabric that I'm going to get here beautiful yeah we have good the similar taste yeah yeah it is we're looking for a border print yeah let's see it we made it to chic fabrics 229 229 West 39th where are we 239 West 39th Street one of our favorite spots for affordable fabrics we've already both found a cotton that we like Amber's gonna make a shirt dress and I found one for a pair of like shaitan chinos or some kind of shorts and now we're trying to spot a knit floral border print is it awesome hold it up more oh that is really pretty no that's good color and it's $5 a yard y'all $5 a yard this place is awesome you always they have to dig a lot to find what you want but they give you a stool and they make it easy and it's kind of fun so they close in 40 minutes we will see what kind of damage we can do there's also these really cool laces that we like to so we'll get some of those thank you hey you guys so we are back at the hotel we left chic and came back here for a minute to kind of regroup put our bags down and they wouldn't have luck I'm sorry we wouldn't had dinner at this place called room service which was like Thai food I had their room service you know now that I think about it I think she gave me regular pad thai I don't remember having mangoes in it but it was wrapped in that egg thing yeah it was the anyways I thought it was supposed to have mangoes in it and something but I remember having that but it was the whole thing if you ever had Pad Thai before instead of it having like the egg inside it was the whole Pad Thai was wrapped in this egg crepe thing yeah it was really cool and then Amber had the Ma Samman curry Ma Samman curry it's really good yeah it looked really good and we had this curry and we shared some curry fried curry something so it was really good there was a little bit of a weight this quoted us like 25 minutes but I feel like we sat down really quickly and food came out really fast so we were able to get back here it is like 8 30 and we've been here for probably half an hour now kind of like veg an hour both pretty tired but we did want to show you a fabric haul because that's why we're here right so as you know we went to mood and chic so and we each got three fabrics which is good for us so here's what do we got so this is our mood bags this is mine so this is a Swiss dot with this amazing navy and like bright yellow embroidery on it basically look how gorgeous that is even the lighting in here isn't amazing and you can still see how vibrant those colors are so I just love how geometric it is with the Swiss dot it's just I only got a yard and I just want to make like a top with it maybe like a my brain isn't working yes yes the green line willow green line willow is what I'm probably gonna make with this it's pretty sheer too so I've got to figure something out about that but that's the first one and then you all met Becky in the store it was so sweet of her to vlog with me but we both got this it was in the denim section so I assume it's some kind of twill but it's just a really pretty stripe there's the right side of that and it's like it's got to be 72 inches wide it's huge so I just got two yards and I'm gonna make like a fit-and-flare dress maybe with some pleats for the skirt maybe play up the stripes a little bit I don't know so I know I was just telling you guys in the swatch video that I don't like evenly spaced stripes but I guess there's an exception to the rule always so this is it for me and then Amber I moved got this little guy one little package what is this I think it was a double knit rayon from Italy Italian rayon double knit and the lighting again not great black with these big like abstract teal like rose flower yeah we did a little like impromptu test while we were there because they had a purple one a red one and this one so she ruled out the red pretty quickly and then we held up the purple to her and then held up the green and as soon as she held up the green I was like yeah this is it this is the one so yeah that'll be a really cute dress yeah she's thinking like a just real simple knit dress sleeveless sleeveless stretch and it just feels amazing yeah it does feel really really good it's a perfect weight double knit for Charleston I feel like cool and then next is chic with their I heart New York bags which are so cute all right mine is a what is it pond teeth and it's this yeah it's head on the sign Ponty but it does feel a little mixed in okay it's got like that kind of neoprene yeah spongy yeah but it's got this pretty cream background and then these huge flower motifs kind of sporadically all over it it's slightly sheer so I'm probably going to do like a fuller skirt fit and flare maybe a circle skirt or something like that but it's just really sweet and precious and if I can get it done in time I'll do it for the Easter yeah the Easter so long challenge thing that everybody's doing I think this will be perfect for that so again it'll probably be sleeveless like Amber's you know really simple just kind of let the fabric shine as it should and then Amber got to from chic yeah so they have amazing prices and I picked up this I think it's a poly spandex like an ITY mm-hmm really stretchy yeah like ITY for sure very lightweight yeah crazy print but it's like colors that I love and it was like 499 a yard yeah it's kind of an overall Chevron stripe but each layer of the Chevron is different from the one before yeah it just said summer dress yeah so we were modeling it earlier as either like a waterfall type dress or a wrap dress or something fitted in the bodice yeah with a gathered skirt yeah something fun and summery mm-hmm the second one I got was this cotton satin I remember if it had stretch it does have stretch stretch I was thinking a shirt dress it's a little stiff right now so it would be like a structured shirt dress but it might toughen up in the wash yeah we'll have to see but I just love anything blue and anything floral and blue black and white I think are Amber's favorite colors together pretty yeah so they've got that shirt dress challenge that's going on I think okay ends in June or something yeah yeah a couple people have started so I've got several shirt dress patterns that I haven't sewn so I really want to sew one up for the summer all good well we're basically pooped at this point we are at 16 hours of being awake and we're not going to be awake for much longer I'm gonna take a shower wash my face we have our matching pajamas you'll get to see those in tomorrow's video so we're gonna put those on and pass out to HGTV probably so yeah thanks for following along hope you've enjoyed it and we'll see you tomorrow bye
