Fashion Week Recap: Day One, 18 Hours

Fashion Week, Day One. In a nutshell, here’s what that entailed: 18 hours, four large coffees, three runway shows, two pairs of shoes and a handful of subway transfers. In other words, it was a busy whirlwind of meetings, fashion shows, public transportation and caffeine runs.

Here’s a recap of Day One:

Summer-to-Fall: Four Trends to Try

I’ve been putting in my fair share of style hunting/inspiration hoarding on Pinterest this week — partially due to Fashion Week sneaking around the corner (as if I needed an excuse).

An all-back ensemble: Black-on-black looks chic and sleek — especially when completing the look with a functional carry-all and patent ankle booties.
