The third day of fashion week was focused around attending the Hervé Léger show at The Lincoln Centre. I wore a silk floral jumpsuit that I recently found at ZARA, and paired it with a statement hat, a translucent clutch, and studded heels that I adorn. Truth be told, I planned on wearing a gorgeous baby blue necklace with this outfit, but given that all of Fashion Week was spent rushing places and being late, I completely forgot to put it on before the show. Womp womp.  

Thank you Marie Claire for featuring my outfit in your street style page, and big big thank you to all the photographers who sent me the pictures from the show! I couldn't bring my own camera because I was going solo, and didn't have anyone to take pictures for me! So much for blogging haha.

After the show I met up with fellow YouTuber Carly Cristman and we hung out around the shows for a while before dispersing and taking a deep and much appreciated sleep.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: DAY TWO.

Entire outfit from ZARA / Hat: Asos / Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim / Bracelets: Topshop, Hermes, Asos.

On my second day at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week I wore a faux leather crop top/sports bra, dark wash denim boyfriend jeans, minimalistic heels, my new 3.1 Phillip Lim pashli and a baseball cap to finish it off. I believe this is called "sports luxe", a trend that has been dominating the world of fashion this spring and summer.
I had the pleasure of attending the BCBG Max Azria show, which kicked off not only NYFW, but essentially all of fashion month! Watching a fashion show was really interesting because I'm used to the technicalities of runway from backstage, or a model's perspective. It was enlightening to be the one analyzing the models and drawing conclusions on their outfits ;)

Some of my favourite pieces that Max Azria featured in his Spring 2014 collection were crisp crop-tops, light trench coats, androgynous cuts, and glasses with thick black frames. Powder blue dominated the colour scheme, with the occasional greys, nudes, and floral prints.

Hello Hello! 

This year I decided to embark on a journey that I've only dreamt about, up until this point. I bought an airplane ticket, RSVP'd to invitations, booked a hotel room, and started planning my outfits. I've been following Fashion Week for years now, and every year I tweet something a long the lines of "Everyone is at fashion week and I'm just in bed being irrelevant". Now that I'm here, there's not a moment I have that isn't filled with gratitude. I seriously walk down the streets of NYC and smile. Maybe I'm cheesy, or maybe I'm quite literally in love with this city.

On the first day, I had the absolute best time meeting with bloggers from around the world. Come to think of it, one of the best parts of this trip has been the possibility of meeting other like-minded people. I met Liza, a russian beauty blogger, and we spent the afternoon window shopping, filming fun little videos for YouTube, and of course, what kind of tourist would I be if I wasn't taken to Times Square? ;)

When night rolled around I met with Sofie Eliseeva, one of my favourite Russian fashion bloggers. We spent some time in TriBeCa, drinking "French toast", which seriously- if you run across a cocktail that shamelessly shares it's name with a breakfast, run away.  

For my first day, I decided to wear a Saint Laurent ad inspired outfit that I was instantly drawn to when I was scrolling through the September issue of Vogue. Floral print dress, fishnet tights, combat boots, and you're good. It's the perfect mix of innocence and grunge, and I am 100% committed to this beautiful lovechild of styles. 

See you tomorrow for more Fashion Week craziness!
