My fist day was all about finding my bearings\u00a0around the city. The tubes at first seemed almost impossible to figure out, but after a day I felt like a glorified New Yorker. I tried to fit something cultural every day so it wasn&#8217;t all about dat hustle at every hour, so myself and a friend,\u00a0went for a walk along New Yorks hi-rise\u00a0park, The High Line.<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-61.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4660\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-61.jpg?resize=598%2C598\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (61)\" width=\"598\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-61.jpg?resize=598%2C598 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-61.jpg?resize=290%2C290 290w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-61.jpg?resize=768%2C768 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-61.jpg?resize=903%2C903 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-61.jpg?w=960 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had heard about the High Line from a few people before actually finding out what it was. Basically, it&#8217;s an old raised train track which the lovely people of NYC turned into an industrial nature walk along the city. I wasn&#8217;t quite sure what to expect but really it&#8217;s probably the most peaceful park you would find at a height in the middle of city life, without completely leaving the fun hustle and bustle behind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/800px-NY_High_Line02.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4666\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/800px-NY_High_Line02.jpg?resize=598%2C448\" alt=\"800px-NY_High_Line02\" width=\"598\" height=\"448\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/highline2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4664\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/highline2.jpg?resize=598%2C448\" alt=\"highline2\" width=\"598\" height=\"448\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was amazing to see the original train tracks still present, and the inspiration of the tracks used along the path, seats and sun loungers as you walked along. More so, you\u2019ll \u00a0find modern sculptures and street art along the way, making pretty much every few steps a good place to stop and take it all in. \u00a0 What&#8217;s so incredible is that this used to be a giant waste of space, and it has now been reused into the perfect place to take in the incredible surroundings NYC has to offer. Well done NYC,\u00a0I wish other places in the world used their own trash to turn into treasure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/14428.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4667\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/14428.jpg?resize=598%2C389\" alt=\"14428\" width=\"598\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/14428.jpg?resize=598%2C389 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/14428.jpg?resize=768%2C500 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/14428.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-62.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4661\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-62.jpg?resize=598%2C598\" alt=\"FullSizeRender (62)\" width=\"598\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-62.jpg?resize=598%2C598 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-62.jpg?resize=290%2C290 290w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-62.jpg?resize=768%2C768 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-62.jpg?resize=903%2C903 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-62.jpg?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<address style=\"text-align: center;\">Their public toilets are manned and clean too!

Luckily I had my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helenruth.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Helen Ruth<\/a> Fairground scarf to hand to channel my inner Thelma for the rest of the walk, don&#8217;t know about you but I think headscarves are not just for your granny! Especially if it&#8217;s one as beautiful as this! I knew I would be walking around all day so wanted to wear something comfy but ye know, stylish, it is New York after all! I teamed my new Topshop leathers which I picked up the sale the other week, and doubled it up with my Pretty Vexed harness which was a real talking point when we went indoors. Who knew harnesses were so accessible? Turns out, they look good with everything. There was a wee chill in the air, so ended up going a bit scarf daft, which is ok when they are this amazing! \u00a0If you like the look of my Helen Ruth number, you can actually get your own for a snip of the price this weekend! \u00a0Helen is running her own sample sale in her hometown of Aberdeen next Saturday. So if you&#8217;re around you can check out her full collection of scarves at Orchard Aberdeen between 1 and 4pm.
