Back to the basics
Seeing as this is my rookie year at NY Fashion Week, I've had my fair share of panic attacks when trying to decide what to pack. When in doubt though {or, in my case, panic mode}, go back to the basics! Below are some staple items that I knew would need to be in my suitcase, regardless of what outfits I put together. {Also, item #1 is seen below worn by our lovely Lolo!}[show_ms_widget id="5078964" image_id="5254156" width="1190" height="892"]1. This okala pump is the perfect complement to any outfit, and the heel height allows for all-day wear. Lo loved them so much, she bought them in two colors! 2. I've been obsessed with this J. Crew tote for quite some time now {bonus, it's currently 25% off!}. Perfect for traveling and trips when you're needing to look chic on-the-go. 3. I recently discovered these amazing faux leather pleated shorts. The leather gives you an edgy look but the pleat makes them comfortable and still classy - perfect for going from day to dinner. 4. You really can't do NYFW without a red lip! This NARS lipstick in jungle red is my personal fave - bold color, matte finish, long-wear. 5. I'm a sucker for Ray-bans, and this black matte pair keep you looking trendy and classy all at the same time. 6. Lo was so sweet to send me this adorable Ted Baker cosmetic bag for my upcoming trip to NY! I love the gold bow and light pink color. 7. Please, do yourself a favor, and don't travel anywhere without a good pair of flats! My Caroline leather Tory Burch flats were such a good investment and have amazing durability. Be on trend this season and get yours in this cool grey color!Whew. Now that I've got my basics down, it's time to get packing. Happy Fashion Week everyone!
