Four Layers

Honestly , I couldn’t take wearing my winter puffer one more day! The alternative? A heavy duty layering effect instead, comprised of puffy vest, denim moto jacket, hoodie, and a long sleeve shirt. At least the sun was shining, which was definitely helpful in ditching my coat for the day; I am still truly looking forward to the day when this season is over, and I celebrate by dry cleaning and storing my heavy winter coat,which has gotten more play this season than ever!

Are you enthusiastically looking forward to the end of the winter season too?

For the past few seasons, I’ve been cataloging the “feet of fashion week,” pointing the lens downward when I see incredibly stylish, noteworthy shoes that I just have to share (see here for last season’s edition). This season, you’ll find the shoes worn by publicists, hair stylists, makeup and nail artists, designers, models, and fellow bloggers and editors worn backstage, as well as those on show-goers, and lest I forgot, some footwear from the fall 2014 runway and presentations.

Click through the slideshow above, to see all of my footwear finds, including a pair of my shoes too!

Which pair is your favorite?

What FPD Wore: Fall 2014 Fashion Week, Day 7

by Julia DiNardo

Day 7!!! I finally felt well enough to ditch my glasses for the day, running all over the town to cover a bevy of backstage beauty looks, and doubling up on my jackets, because it is literally so cold outside, that it cuts through everything! I had a moment to take pause at the TRESemmé Styling and Trends event, capping off the evening and getting the breakdown on runway and red carpet looks from stylists Jeanie Syfu and John D., with commentary by TV personality and host Louise Roe!

I also learned about the new 7 Day Keratin Smooth line, which lasts through three shampoos/up to seven days, which will keep your hair shiny and frizz free, which is basically, fashion week-worthy hair! Apologies that my photos are a bit dark; we were in the very cool, however slightly cavernous Landmarc restaurant at Columbus Circle.

Here’s what I wore for Day 7, which heavily revolved around staying warm:

What FPD Wore: Fall 2014 Fashion Week, Day 6

by Julia DiNardo

Brrr! This weather is no joke! Snow is on the ground, and with more on the way, I will definitely have a pair of boots on my feet for the last day of fashion week. Despite the frigid temperatures, ice, and snow on the ground, I’ve also had a cold ALL of fashion week, but with lots of vitamin C, I’m thinking I’m on the mend. I layered my J.Crew wool sweater underneath of my top for added warmth, and also worked a new bag into the fashion week outfit rotation – an Alexander Wang Rockie Crossbody Satchel look-a-like (everyone keeps thinking it’s the real deal!) for just $29.99 at T.J.Maxx — score!

Here’s what I wore on Day 6:
