Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week - Day 1

Hello from NYC and Fashion Week!



Well, sort of Fashion Week. I got in around 2pm and then unpacked and ran over to get my creds at the tents. I just missed the start of the Ports show (darn it!) but I did have time to come back and get cleaned up. It had been a late night and an early morning so it felt good to unpack and relax.

Oh, by the way I ended up sticking with the red hair, although a lighter shade.



I'm in a good location right near Grand Central just a few blocks from the tents.



It's a small room but pretty nice.



It doesn't look like it here but I packed probably way more than I could possibly need.

And these babies came with me. Where might they make an appearance???

Due to the snow, I came in a day late and was sad that I was going to miss Wendy B's sale but she had to move it because of the weather. So I was able to head to the Upper East Side to check out her showing.

I wore:

- Rosette cardigan from White House Black Market

- Tulle skirt dress from Target

- Aerosole black patent buckle pumps

I bought this cardigan specifically to wear with this dress and just love it. Especially the raw edge rosettes.

Because it's still pretty icy and slushy, the shoes I brought (besides the boots I'll be wearing most of the day time) are patent heels and these Aerosoles ones are about 8 years old and get worn constantly. I love them.

I paired the outfit up with this cute little clutch from Banana Republic. I don't really use a small clutch purse very often so I only have two. I like this to be simple, with unique materials or textures so that I can wear them dressy or with jeans. The creamy white and simple shape of this one adds to the versatility.

It was a nice turnout at the show. I didn't take a bunch of pictures - too busy chatting and admiring jewelry, but I think Wendy will have some up soon! I'll link to them asap.

Now off to bed because the weeks really gets cooking for me tomorrow.
