The first day of New York Fashion Week was hotter than hot. I mean as in temperature hot! (I know you thought amazing designs on the runway, there was that too, but the temperature was crazy hot!). So to keep cool, I paired a lightweight cotton tee with my new favorite go-to skirt for the fall season. This skirt is basic, yet not-so-basic. I feel like I can wear it when I don’t know what to wear; and to any event where I need to look professional! It is a great alternative to the classic black pencil skirt. When the weather cools down, I plan on pairing this skirt with sweaters and blouses.

This outfit was understated and utilitarian; perfect for running around New York to both onsite and off-site fashion shows! Day one was definitely my biggest, logistical nightmare, day during fashion week. I started the day with an off-site show, then quickly cabbed it back to Lincoln Center for an on-site show, then walked to an off-site show, then went back for an on-site show; rinse and repeat. Whew!

Thankfully, despite the hot and humid weather, I still felt put together in this outfit and cool enough to brave the busy day!

Stay tuned! I have a lot more spring/summer 2015 runway shows to bring you; as well as some Lincoln Center tent fun!

One of the fabulous, traditional fall items every girl needs in her closet is boots! Boots for fall 2014 are being shown in so many amazing styles from both the runways and the streets; there are bound to be multiple pairs on store shelves for every Fashionista. 

Boots for fall 2014 are being shown in mainly neutral tones of brown, beige and black. If neutral hued boots are not your thing, the runways have given us a few avant-garde choices such as this painted leather pair from Burberry, or this fabulous pair from Bottega Veneta.

One of the big trends in boots for fall 2014 is the open toe. Traditionally found in spring/summer booties, the open toe has been popping up on boots for fall 2014 from both runway collections and lines designed from what consumers are wearing on the streets. The open toe bootie is huge for fall 2014 and the perfect way to update your boot wardrobe for the autumn season.

Wondering what to wear your fall 2014 boots with? The answer is; everything! Boots for fall 2014 are being worn with everything from casual jeans, to shorts, to midi-skirts, mini skirts and maxi skirts.
