New York Fashion Week Recap

While I’m working through the edits of all my outfit posts to come, I wanted to share a little recap of my time in NYC for Fashion Week.

Day 1: I ended up taking a red eye in order to arrive in time for the Hong Kong Runway Shows. I was seriously STUNNED by all three designers, which wowed most of us for the first time at NYFW with impeccable tailoring, unique fashion-forward designs and eye dazzling collections. Can you spot me in the front row wearing stripes?

Afterward, I checked into the Ludlow Hotel with my friend Holly and tried to get a nap in since I hadn’t slept the night before. 30 minutes of snooze and I was off for a 12 hour day in the city! We hit the BCBGeneration presentation, the Bollare Styling Suit and then the AVEDA event where I had my hair touched up with some caramel gloss.

Day 2 I managed to schedule in a meal at Dirty French, which was delicious and quite luckily in my own hotel. I got to meet up with a new friend, Katie of WanderAbode and we exchanged stories of working in fashion from the West Coast. (She’s based in Orange County).

Day 3 was another day of shows- I saw the Ennyluap, Tibi and Vivi Zubedi shows back to back and squeezed in some meetings with brand partners who I am delighted to now know in person 🙂

My roomy, Holly and I were photographed by a few street style photographers and then published in Fashionista.com and Manrepeller which was AMAZING!

Day 4 was my busiest day and somehow I found myself lucky enough to meet an actress who I admire, Madelaine from Riverdale- as well as J. Alexandar from ANTM.

I finally stopped into Sezane to see their clothes in person and was surprised to have them gift me my first full outfit from their shop!

I met with the beautiful women of Trestique, who I’ve been working with for a few years now and even had them snap some quick shots of my outfit seen below.

Day 5 Was short and sweet. My girl Katie and I made our way to The Doughnut Project and I broke my sugar-fast with two halves of a Lemon Zest and a Peanut Butter & Jelly Donut. My mouth still waters at the thought. 

There’s still quite a bit left out here including some shows I haven’t had a chance to sift through and edit as well as full outfits and parties that we attended. I can’t wait to unroll the full story over the next few weeks, but hope you enjoyed this quick recap! Happy Weekend Lovelies.

 

xoxo
