Hi guys! This time I had the amazing opportunity to visit “The Big Apple” and it was an incredible experience. I went for 6 days and had chance to visit so many places but I will tell you this: be ready to walk! Since I’m a fashion addict I was tempted on creating my stylish looks, wearing my high heel boots and everything but my best recommendation is to bring “the most comfy shoes you have” because you won’t stop. Your luggage for NYC must be all about comfort and “accessories” to give the ·touch· to your outfits.
The best way to get to know a city is by walking, sometimes just walking around the streets you discover magical places hidden in between the madness of insatiable cities such as NY.
I fell in love with this fashionable city. I want to share with you some tips and recommended spots to help you get the best out of your visit and make your trip easier. New York is a pretty big city, so you will probably not have time to visit everything, so don’t stress out, remember is a vacations and it must be about enjoying and relaxing. This is why I’m sharing with you a guide of the most emblematic and coolest things (in my point of view) divided by districts from the top to the bottom of Manhattan, until Brooklyn, so you can have time to explore, investigate and create your own personalised itinerary regarding your interests.
If you have any questions don’t doubt to leave me a comment, send me a dm on my instagram @stylediscoverer or write me an email stylediscovererblog@gmail.com and I will totally help you out!

¡Hola amigo! Esta vez tuve la increíble oportunidad de visitar “La Gran Manzana” y fue una experiencia increíble. Fui durante 6 días y tuve chance de visitar muchos lugares, pero les diré esto: ¡prepárense para caminar! Como soy una adicta a la moda, tuve la tentación de crear mis looks super producidos y fashionistas, usando mis botas de tacón alto y todo, pero mi mejor recomendación es traer “los zapatos más cómodos que tengas”, ya que no pararás. Tu equipaje para Nueva York debe basarse en la comodidad y “accesorios” para darle el · toque · a tus outfits.
La mejor manera de conocer una ciudad es caminando, a veces solo andando por las calles descubres lugares mágicos escondidos entre la locura de estas ciudades insaciables como Nueva York. Me enamoré de esta ciudad de la moda. Quiero compartir contigo algunos consejos y planes recomendados para ayudarte a aprovechar al máximo tu visita y facilitar tu viaje.
Nueva York es una ciudad bastante grande, por lo que probablemente no tengas tiempo de visitarlo todo, así que no te estreses, recuerda que es una vacación y debe ser para disfrutarla y relajarte. Es por eso que estoy compartiendo una guía de las cosas más emblemáticas y ·cool· (en mi punto de vista) divididas por distritos, desde la parte superior hasta la parte inferior de Manhattan, hasta Brooklyn, para que puedas tener tiempo de explorar, investigar y crear tu propio itinerario personalizado tomando en cuenta tus intereses.
Si tienes alguna pregunta, no dudes en dejarme un comentario, enviarme un mensaje directo a mi instagram @stylediscoverer o escribirme un correo electrónico stylediscovererblog@gmail.com y ¡con gusto te ayudaré!
