No Sleep 'Til NYFW

So here we are, just one day away from the kick off of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! I've always been more excited about Fall Fashion Week during my years at FIT, since it was the beginning of the school season and everything was so fresh and new.  But this season I started working in the fashion industry so I'm particularly anxious for the spring shows. Working in the office, I've had hands on experience with all of the intimate details that go into planning such important events as these runway shows. From the seating charts, to invitations, to programs, you never really take the time to realize how much hard work goes into something that seems so fun and carefree as fashion.

Can't wait to see the new Spring looks that are set to hit the runway this week! Which shows are you most looking forward to?

Weekend Wonder

This week is an exciting one for many reasons -- and it has nothing to do with the (not so exciting) snowstorms NYC has already experienced.  Two major world events are taking off this very Thursday and Friday: the opening games of the 2014 Winter Olympics, and the kickoff of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! Whether you love sports or fashion, there's a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy. Personally, I'm super excited for both! I discovered I really enjoy watching the Olympics during the 2012 summer games in London, so I'm definitely going to watch the winter games this year. And working in the fashion industry has given me a hands on look inside some of the hard work, amounts of detail, and weeks of planning that go into creating successful runway shows for fashion week, so there's nothing like seeing some of your hard work pay off. Can't wait for the end of the week!
