Fashion Week for Beginners:
This morning, the insanity struck. Reporting for duty at 7:00 am is not something I'd normally sign up for but this being the most exciting of all exciting weeks, I bounded out of bed and was at the tents at Bryant Park to pick up my photo credentials. I met my dear friend and colleague Sarah Conley of StyleITOnline at the front of the queue (sorry to the peeps I budded in front of - that's how I roll) feeling under prepared. Which brings me to #NYFW beginner tip #1: Know where your next dose of caffeine is coming from. After proudly placing our official lanyards around our necks, Sarah and I stopped to refuel. Coffee, or "Champagne of the Morning" as I am going to be calling it this week, is an integral part of the #NYFW experience.

Following coffee, I popped my Fashion Week cherry at Mackage. Here are some of the images, apologies for the noise - my real camera is in the shop.
The theme of this show appeared to be: "Morning After the Night Before - Without The Shameful Walk Home." We're talking deconstructed "I Just Woke Up Hair" and "Did I Remember to Take Out My Contacts?" makeup
