I can’t believe that another season is upon us, but I’m excited to be back in New York for a few days and to see some familiar faces. I’m slowly working on packing my bags. I have my essentials so far…
Faux-Fur Stole The tents are freezing, so a cozy scarf is the perfect way to stay warm.
Over-Sized Sunglasses Along with a large coffee from Starbucks, sunglasses help hide under-eye circles and the “I got no sleep last night but am still here at 8am” feeling.
Volumizing Mascara A quick swipe of mascara (Dior Show is my favorite) is easy enough to apply to my lashes in a taxi ride.
Long-Lasting Perfume A scent that will last from morning to night is essential–my signature pick is Chanel Chance.
Gloves Cheetah-printed gloves mean catching a cab in style.
Quick-Drying Polish A coat of clear polish can keep a pretty manicure intact or temporarily remedy a snagged pair of tights.
Camera A camera is obvious, though I’ve forgotten it in the past!
Watch With a jam-packed schedule, I’m constantly checking the time.
Statement Necklace I always need to add a great piece of jewelry to an otherwise boring LBD. I’m packing this crystal collar one.
Versatile Clutch I love roomy handbags, but I keep it limited to a small clutch during Fashion Week.
Band-Aids Blisters from running around in seven-inch heels are inevitable. How cute are these fashion-forward Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids?
Small Notebook In between texting, tweeting, and Instagraming, it’s nice to jot down notes about the runway looks using old-fashioned pen and paper.
What essentials are in your purse?
So jeal you’re going to NYC. When do you leave and are you helping with all of the shows? Have a blast & stay warm!
I leave super early Friday morning (I arrive just in time for the first show!) and come back Sunday night (8am statistics awaits me on Monday). Yup, I’ll be covering all of the weekend shows! Thanks! I’ll try to stay warm but I hear a snow storm is coming my way…yikes.
Love those BandAids! Where did you get them??? Target?!
Yes, Target! I bought them a few months ago but they should still have them!
My EOS chapstick is a must!
My sister got me hooked on EOS lip balm. It’s great!
Love those sunglasses and statement necklace!
Thanks! I love the sunglasses too–I have them in two different colors and they’ve lasted for years!
One of my favorite statement necklaces too – It goes with everything.
Totally agree–it dresses up an outfit so easily.
Your necklace is the prettiest! Seriously, way too rock that bling girl!!! And my handbag staple, def gum. I need gum on me during all times or I just might unleash a mountain full of crazy on everyone. Gum is essential :) P.s. I am so happy I found your blog, my newest obsession!
Thank you! I’m glad you found me! And oh yes, gum is crucial! I keep a pack in every single one of my bags–never can go without it.
