New York Fashion Week, Fall 2010: What Did Fab Pack?

I’m ready to go. Unfortunately, a powerful lady called Mother Nature is hanging up my New York Fashion Week. Flights are delayed, shows postponed, due to a big Winter storm happening right now. But I’m all packed! I’m based out of San Francisco and therefore travel to NYC every Fashion Week. Packing has always been a challenge. Isn’t it the worst when you really want to wear something on a trip and you didn’t bring it? That used to happen to me all the time at Fashion Week – and when what you wear is imperative to making an impression, it blows. I also used to bring too much. For some reason I didn’t feel like I could wear something twice . . . Reality check: I’ve got tons of great clothes, laundry is possible, and no one is really looking at me; it’s all about whose in the front row. Plus, I like to be comfortable and am constantly in motion. I went from bringing three pairs of heels to one – strictly for parties. These days, February Fashion Week is all about vintage coats, cashmere, black, blue, cool layers, sequins and embroidery, exotic prints, flirty skirts, flats boots, favorite jewelry, and fresh hats. One large suitcase and one small, which carries my outerwear and trusty laptop. Want to see exactly what I packed?
