Getting perfectly outfitted for New York Fashion Week is an important part of my planning for the week, and I was so relieved to have the tremendous opportunity to pick out some pieces from
T.J.Maxx and
Marshalls to wear, as I always find incredible on-trend, designer pieces of top notch quality at the stores. This Friday of fashion week resulted in a decidedly black and white aesthetic with a pop of color, thanks to my accessories; a very “it” look this season.

Staying cool yet prepared for the potential rain that threatened the earlier half of the week was crucial, and I felt pretty stylish, comfortable, and prepared for whatever came my way in these pieces. See below for more pics of my look from Day 2, including some great detailed close-up shoots of my jewels and bag!
Follow along on social media via the hashtag #WHATIWORENYFW and the tags @Marshalls and @TJMAXX for more fabulous fashion-week bound fashionistas in incredible baubles and wares from the stores.

To be completely honest, the bucket bag shape has REALLY grown on me lately. I recently purchased my first one (it will make its debut during New York Fashion Week), but am apt to get one or two more. Luckily, the timing of Laura’s feature at LollieShopping on Bucket Bags Under $100 couldn’t have been better! See the fabulous ones she found, perfectly for a variety of occasions and budgets, over at her site!

[My jewelry for the first day of fashion week!]
Today was the start of New York Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2015 collections, and it was QUITE a day!
I started off by taking the #OneShowerChallenge with Dove (more details here), followed by a busy day of running around,some lovely, lovely Venetian-inspired looks by Tadashi Shoji, the Altuzarra for Target launch party, and the star-studded NARS 20th Anniversary bash with Barneys New York. Phew! Posts over the next week will all be geared toward fashion week, resuming the normal schedule again on September 15th. In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the fashion week coverage, and here’s my day 1 look, that I literally wore for 16 hours today.
