Fashion Week is Almost Here! Guide For Fashionistas Prepping For Catwalk

The runways, models, and couture are just a few weeks from hitting New York City. Fashionistas are surely gearing up for a week full of couture, parties and front rows. Here are our must have items for NYFW!

1. Fur Coat to Stay Toasty

We love luxury furrier Adrianne Landau. The furrier carries everything from the finest cashmere to fox, mink, and rabbit fur. Go with a mink poncho to add some class to any outfit, or get a fun but full waist length fur to make sure the winter doesnt get the best of you!

Adrienne Landau’s Showroom is located at 519 8th Avenue, 21st Floor, 212.695.8362.

2. Shoe Inserts to Keep Your Manolos Fresh and Functional

We like Silver Linings which are ultra-thin shoe liners preserve the life of your favorite Manolos or Louboutins by keeping feet fresh and clean. The linings are infused with silver, the technology is also EPA-registered and environmentally friendly. The fabric keeps feet dry and stops them from slipping without the use of damaging adhesives.

Silver Linings are $15.99 for a package, each pair will last you about one month, www.silverliningsnewyork.com.

3. A Fabulous Tote to Carry All Your Fashion Show Swag

Who doesnt love a good tote bag? And it’s absolutely necessary during fashion week, when you know you will be getting swag, sitting in the front row. Also, it doubles at a good place to hide some flats since you will be running around all day. We are big fans of the Bottega Veneta green crocodile leather tote with its classic design and roomy inside. We also love the Hermes Tote in orange (but it’s also available in black and brown). The beautiful leather bag is lined with canvas and will accomodate whatever you hope to hold.

The Bottega Veneta Tote is $35,000, www.bottegaveneta.com.
The Hermes Tote is $4,500, www.hermes.com.

4. Mega-Hold Lasting Hair Spray to Keep Your Coiffe in Place

When you are running from show to show, it’s imperative that your hairspray lasts, so that you can be camera ready for every photographer. If you are anything like us, you have tried every possible way to make sure your hair is set without being sticky or dry and brittle. We like the Aquage finishing spray and the Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold. Aquage’s finishing spray is humidity resistant. It will create volume and hold simultaneously, and it comes in a convenient travel size so you can pop it into your fabulous tote (as mentioned above). Ted Gibson’s Beautiful Hold is great to keep your hair flexible but in place and has a delicious gardenia scent.

Aquage Finishing Spray is  $18 per bottle, www.aquage.com.
Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold is $20 per bottle, www.tedgibsonsalon.com.
