Carrie Hits the Runway

Okay, so my three favorite things (I hate using the word "things" like that, so sorry) include nail polish, Carrie Underwood and fashion.  Well, Carrie Underwood collaborated with Nicole by OPI for a collection, and I recently received half of the shades in a care package.  I was so excited.  Then, today, Carrie Underwood made an appearance at New York Fashion Week.  Again, I'm sure you can guess my reaction when I saw Zoya's discreet tweet featuring Carrie.

Almost just ran over @carrieunderwood backstage at @Peter_Som - luckily she's just as nice as she is beautiful! #petersom #nyfw #ZOYANYFW

Carrie attended not only Som's show but also Rebecca Minkoff's showing as well.  I wasn't able to catch the Peter Som show, but I did live stream Rebecca Minkoff's.  I was very impressed with the assortment of winter wool jackets, and the appearance of dusty pink sprinkled throughout the collection.

New York Fashion Week

Tomorrow starts New York Fashion Week in fashion capital, NYC.  Designers will be showcasing their Fall/Winter 2014 Collections on runways all over the city.  Personally, I have always found fashion week to be rather intimidating and sometimes confusing.  So here are five ways to help you navigate one of the most celebrated weeks in fashion.

1. Know the Schedule

Preparation is key when it comes to trying to navigate anything.  The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has a list of designers here.  You can also see a full, rather long list here.  The shows begin at 9am and run all day at all different locations until 9 pm.  I am excited to catch Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg and Zac Posen to name a few.  

2. Catch Some Live Streaming

For the past few years designers have been allowing their shows to be streamed through digital devices.  This goes hand in hand with several social media campaigns to create a conversation with the average customer and these elite brands.  You can live stream shows on the MB Fashion Week page, or Style.com or NewYorkFashionWeekLive.com.
