September is Fashion Month

I've been surviving successfully in the city for four weeks now: I've been to the MET, the Cloisters, MoMA, and the Whitney, I've been in the live audience of America's Got Talent and Live! With Kelly and Michael, and I've volunteered at my first fashion week show! Yes, I still have a lot of homework to get done in-between. To catch up a little on how I got here:

First day outfit

Recreate the look:

Leather skirt / Crop top / Snake Armlet / Chunky Flatforms

Woke up at 3am to wait 10 hours in line with the roommate to sign up for fashion week volunteering. Many people had camped out all night! Don't mess with determined fashion students:

Backstage selfie at Zang Toi, Red Carpet Reception where I got to be a dresser!

Due to licensing and legality reasons I'm not allowed to put up any backstage pictures from Zang Toi (sad face!) but below you can see the entire collection for yourself: (but I have to say, seeing the clothes up-close and in person is a whole other experience)

This week I'm also volunteering for an event called Coterie, a market event where buyers come to visit hundreds of amazing exhibitors. I will be part of the Ronen Chen exhibit (a stunning Israeli designer) and I can't express how excited I am to experience this side of fashion! At least this time I'll be able to post pics ;)

Making the move

This is just a short update before the real fun (chaos?) begins! I will be moving to NYC starting this Saturday to start my life as a college student, and if you saw my last post I am thrilled to announce I successfully fit everything into my three box limit:

Packing is much more stressful than I could have imagined. Luckily these boxes made it to the UPS store on Friday (with the help of my awesome family) and I'll see them again on Sunday!

I also spent a considerable amount of time this weekend working on revamping the blog; how do you like the new look so far?  Let me know what you think!
