Today was a looong one, all for the sake of fashion and beauty! I finished off the day at Betsey Johnson’s spring 2013 fashion show/70th Bday Bash/Retrospective (invite pictured above), and since it was a 12 hour day for me out and about, I decided to be stylishly comfortable!
[taken while waiting to go backstage at Narciso Rodriguez]
I literally walked 40 blocks from Lincoln Center to the Narciso Rodriguez show, made possible by my Sorel Derby shoes; there was NO WAY I would have been able to do it in any other footwear! It was such a lovely, sunny day that I had to take advantage of the sunshine. And to blow off some steam; I left my Sunglass Hut Prada Cat Eye Shades in the Osklen fashion show. So bummed!! But maybe it happened for a reason; within 24 hours I got a new pair of shades at the Betsey Johnson show, won the new Windows Phone from Style Coalition Lounge, AND won a My First Love case from Caboodles! Score!

Still feeling that I can pull of glamorous (opposed to exhausted) as my look for fashion week, I opted for this gorgeous Dana-Maxx dress, some Sorel booties (rain was in the forecast all day) to help me stay chic, despite the weather! I started off the day at the Ted Gibson meet and greet at the Style Coalition lounge in the Empire Hotel, and then was off and running to a day filled with a lot of back and forth between venues, backstage access, and shows.
I love the red accents of the Sorel Medina Heels! I can’t even tell you how many compliments I got as well, with most people not evening realizing that they doubled as rain boots.
My requisite accessories for the week – the Baume and Mercier watch and Sorrelli jewelry! Although my manicure IS looking a little beat up, so…
I stopped by the Birchbox Sample Stop, picked up a few beauty items, and got a new manicure, courtesy of Color Club, in this bright blue shade, dubbed Insta’ This!

Stamina, perseverance, caffeinated beverages! That is my New York Fashion Week mantra. With long days ahead, lots of visual stimulation, running around, and writing, there’s no time to get tired…or for precipitation in the forecast! I think I can handle it though, thanks to my Sorel Medina Rain Heels! Without further ado, let’s get this fashion week party started! I’m ready with a stylish assortment of apparel, footwear and accessories, a massive bag full of essentials and electronics, and of course, an umbrella!

The Sorel Medina Rain Heel, $200, is my new go-to (also available in the hue cabernet) and I think I actually may cease all complaining when it rains, thanks to this stylish, sleek, and functional pair of rain-heels! As you can see from the pics, these boots offer a streamlined design with a simple clasp, waterproof rubber upper and heel, a felt lined collar, and Sorel nameplate on the back. All of Sorel’s fall styles recently launched, featuring fab detail and color updates to favorite styles, with some completely new silhouettes added into the mix (I’m loving the Chipahko Felt and Wicked Workboot Tall styles).
Plus, have you seen the Fall 2012 Campaign, “Get Your Boots Dirty,” yet? It’s a campaign that celebrates women who make the world a more interesting place, featuring Leila Janah (wearing the Conquest Carly boots), founder and CEO of Samasource, a non-profit that creates jobs for people living in poverty, over the internet. How inspirational! Check out her TED Talk, and I think it’s a reminder of how lucky we are, and that we all can make an impact in this world –so what are we waiting for? Let’s go out there and get’s our boots dirty!
