Packing List: Fashion Week

by Emily

{Rough outfit sketches}

Tomorrow morning I’m heading out to New York to attend Fashion Week and I can’t wait to arrive. Even though the temperatures this weekend in L.A. are supposed to be close to 80°, I’m ready to brave the cold with open arms. It goes without saying that I have about 12 pairs of tights, bulky jackets, scarves and gloves packed as well, but I figured I’d offer you a glimpse at the fashionable items that I’m bringing along.

{Lots of black and white pieces}

{Beauty essentials: Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray, MAC Russian Red, Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads, EyesBy Design Eye Cream, Moroccan Hair Oil, Tarte ‘Dollface,’ Kiehl’s Creme de Corps, Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara, Makeup Forever Concealer, Aquaphor Healing Ointment}

{Aldo, Alaïa (um yeah, went back to Barneys yesterday), Marni, Yves Saint Laurent, Steve Madden}

{Baubles}

26 Colleen { 02.12.10 at 5:38 am }: Don’t forget your uggs, please!!! It’s still very slushhy out, you od not want to ruin those heels. Many people are changing their shoes once inside the tents. Thought you’d want a heads up – have fun!
27 Molly M. { 02.12.10 at 6:09 am }: Make sure you pack some shoes you don’t mind getting wet/muddy/covered in salt! The streets here in NY are a MESS! All of my boots are covered in a combination of dirt, mud, and street salt!
