Several weeks back, I went to Lincoln Center to hear the extremely talented Lisa Batiashvili perform with The New York Philharmonic. In all my years of going to see the Philharmonic, I’ve never attended a pre-concert insight (PCI) session. Nope, never! So this particular evening was going to include an extra treat….PCI, here we come.

Problem, dinner beforehand had a hiccup. Our table didn’t become free until 20min after the reserved time. Well, that completely threw off the night. How late were we running? So late that we decided to just skip the PCI. Nevertheless, we were there in plenty of time for the actual performance, whew!

What did I wear? A piece I haven’t worn since last November, when on holiday in Japan. It was time for the tulle to come back out the closet.

Black Tie Hiking – As posted back on August 25th, we went up to Mohonk Mountain House, while there we hiked and went rock scrambling. Not only did I keep with tradition and used my Louis Vuitton backpack, I also tucked one of my black tie gowns in there.

This particular dress was purchased several years ago to attend my cousins black tie wedding. Rarely does it come out of the closet. However this year, it came out a few times.

Toward the end of the day, we stopped at Lilly Pond on Mohonk Mountain Preserve. On the backend of the mountain, the gravel trail descends in an S shape. Three quarters down the mountain, the trail becomes flat, the trees open up to wonderful clearly that perfectly showcases a small footbridge and Lilly Pond. Perfect spot to stop and do a photo shoot.

Once back on the Mohonk Mountain House property, I took advantage of the Greenhouse and Florist Garden. The garden is lush with many different floral patches and rich colors.

The Metropolitan Opera, Opening Night Gala will be on September 22nd. Fortunately for us, we’ll be attending this year. I was thinking of purchasing a new gown but why bother. This dress has been worn at max, three times (including on the hike). That being said, I think this dress will work just fine for the event.
