My Fashion Week
Must Haves

 
 
There are only a couple times a year when I travel and
pack 10x more than what I actually need. Fashion Week is
not one of them. Why you might ask? Despite running around
the city amongst some of the worlds most fabulous and
fashionable people, packing for NYFW requires a lot
of planning and strategizing.
 
For those of you who have traveled and stayed
in a NYC hotel room you know that the rooms regardless
of where you stay(unless you can afford a $4k a night penthouse)
are relatively small, and when I say small, I mean small.
. Walk in closet? Lots of Drawers?
Absolutely not.
 
A little Crop of Leather
 
Bailey 44, Neiman Marcus
Throw a leather crop over a cocktail dress for an
edgy look or throw over dark skinny's and your good to go.


A Hint of Sequin
Badgley Mischka, Rent the Runway
Whether your going to an after party for
Marc Jacobs or dining at Tao with the girls, you
always need that sparkly little dress to set the mood.
 
Favorite Skinny's

3.1 Phillip Lim Trousers, Nordstrom
A pair of skinny black pants is key for fashion week.
Between all of the events and shows, it is a staple to have them
whether one night your pairing them with a silk blouse and fur fest
or a sexy feminine blouse with an excessive amount of jewelry.


Go-To Pumps

YSL Pumps, Neiman Marcus
If you've ever been to NYFW before,
you know that there can be lots of walking and
standing depending on the show. Whether your walking
from show to show or grabbing a bite to eat, you want
to make sure that the shoes on your feet are comfy and
broken in. I also suggest bringing your favorite pair of
pumps in a few different colors: black, nude and something
fun whether its silver, gold or a fun pattern. If you have
room, sneak a chic pair of black ballet flats to keep with you
just incase...
 
 
The Jewels

CA&LOU, Saks Fifth Avenue
Whether you want one piece or
pile on 5 something I never skimp on
bringing is lots of jewelry. Accessorizing
is the perfect way to pull together and bringing
it from 0 to 100 by adding chunky bracelets, huge
cocktail rings or wearing a eye
catching statement necklace.




Pull The Clutch

From show to show, the last thing you
want to be lugging around is a 25 lb. purse,
which is where having a handful of clutches
come in handy. Even though they may not be
that big, the right clutch can make a huge
statement and pull an outfit all together.
Make sure you bring a couple options,
some for dinner, shows, lunch and
after parties. You can never have enough
options!
Alexander McQueen


Bottega Veneta

Dolce & Gabbana
 
 
Have a good day and
maybe I'll see some of you at
NYFW?
