Also New York was great as usual but we had a bit of a strange weather with the cold breeze and rain. Finally a little luck with some beautiful weather yesterday though. I spent most of time in the Fashion District on appointments with key suppliers finalizing Fall/Winter 2012 and previewing Spring 2013 collections. Met with trend forecaster The Doneger Group and then did a little shopping in the Soho district, all in 3 1/2 days which certainly wasn't enough time to do other things I wanted to do.  On my way home today and FV will be back to normal tomorrow...thanks for stopping by during my hectic schedule this week!
