Day three of New York Fashion Week was a busy day! I chose this flowing dress to combat the unsettled weather, and remain comfortable while running around the city attending shows and appointments.

I started the day at Kendra Scott’s showroom where I was able to view the fall 2015 collection, and preview the new winter 2016 collection. I cannot wait to share the winter collection with you in October!

After Kendra Scott’s showroom, Laura (from Have Need Want) and I popped into the Tresemme salon and tamed our humidity laden heads. They gave me a fabulous blow-out which tamed my hair for the rest of the day, and Laura came out with an amazing braid! Now if I could only replicate this process at home. . . hmmm.

Some of my favorite shows were on Saturday. I attended Jay Godfrey, Francesca Liberatore, Monique Lhuilier, and Son Jung Wan. Each show was so unique, and presented a fabulous collection for the spring 2016 season. Watch for my coverage of these shows!

This dress by BCBG was perfect for the day. It was lightweight and easy to move in. I was able to run around town fuss-free. It did not wrinkle, and allowed for a range of movements throughout the day. Squatting to photograph Laura’s outfit? No problem! Climbing in and out of a giant SUV Uber? No problem! Sitting on a cramped bench at a show? No problem! Love that 😉

I am excited to have this dress as part of my fall wardrobe. It is lightweight enough for our Bay Area fall weather; which can be warmer than summer temperatures. It will also look cute in late fall, when the temperatures dip into the 70’s and 60’s, with a leather jacket thrown over it.

Stay tuned for my coverage of the shows I attended at New York Fashion Week!

New York Fashion Week outfit day two

This was my New York Fashion Week outfit on day two of the spring/summer 2016 shows. Laura snapped these pictures for me outside the Art Beam before the Zimmermann show.

These Valentino shoes were perfect during New York Fashion Week. The low heel and ankle strap kept the shoes perfectly in place while I stood in line for shows, stood outside waiting for Uber’s, and did quite a bit of walking. Loved them!

My favorite part of this outfit is this Vince dress! The dress was incredibly comfortable and did not wrinkle during the day. My day started at 10am, and went until 11pm, so there was a lot of sitting at shows, and sitting at meals that day! Thankfully, the dress did not wrinkle at all. Love that!

This Vince dress was also perfect for the weather. The temperatures in New York hovered in the high 70’s, with low humidity. The dress was perfect for the early fall weather; which means it will be ideal at home in the San Francisco Bay Area during the entire fall season. I cannot wait to wear it this fall! As fall progresses, it will look amazing paired with black boots, and a black leather jacket.

Each New York Fashion Week outfit I plan has been chosen for a combination of comfort, style, and the ability to be restyled back home. This dress was great because it packed well, offered comfort, stayed wrinkle-free, and can be worn so many different ways throughout the fall season. This was the first dress I purchased from Vince, and since I love it so much, I will have to check out more dresses and clothing options from Vince! I’m hooked!

In addition to Zimmerman on day two of New York Fashion Week, I also attended Betsey Johnson, Pamella Roland, and Chromat. Stay tuned for my coverage of these fabulous shows!

New York Fashion Week started on September 10, 2016, and calling it a rainy day is an understatement! Torrential downpour might be a better way to describe the crazy weather!

After leaving 102 degrees behind in the San Francisco Bay Area, and arriving in New York to a cool 80-something, the rain was welcomed. The only challenging part was trying to make my way from show to show in the rain!

The logistics for fashion week are downright insane. I spent half the day in a cab or Uber car. There were a few moments when I found myself walking a little bit too much in the rain; and high heels. I was on my feet from roughly 8:30am to 10pm. It was a long day and my heels were as comfortable as high heels can be. Thank goodness for the chunky heel trend!

Day one of New York Fashion Week was a fun one! I saw Nicholas K, Leanne Marshall, Marissa Webb, Malan Breton, and Yuma Yang. Justin Nunez went to Desigual and photographed the show for me since it was at the same time as Marissa Webb. His photos are amazing, I cannot wait to share them with you!

Since it was a long day, wearing culottes and chunky heels was a comfortable yet city-chic way to get through the day. I felt dressed up yet un-fussy. I never thought I would wear culottes, and here I am! Yikes! I actually like them, is something wrong with me?
