5 Tips to Survive Fashion Week
1) Research outfit.
Fashion Week can sneak up on you very quickly. Start out by searching for Fashion Trends or visiting your favorite fashion blogs for inspiration. *Pro-Tip* Pinterest and HuffPost Style is your friend.
2) Don’t wait to the last minute to purchase your outfit.
Now that you have inspiration on what you’ll be wearing to the show. You’ll need to put it to good use and go through with the purchase. *Pro Tip* Be sure to purchase your outfit 3 weeks in advance, this allows time if you change your outfit selection and still have time before the show. #StressFree
3) Come to the show early.
Be sure to arrive at least 15-20 minutes early to the show. This allows time to use the restroom, makeup touch-ups, time to chat with friends and Red Carpet photos. *Pro Tip* Always go to the restroom prior to entering for a check-up, let’s face it some people wont tell your lipstick or hair is out of place.
4) Make a check list of essential ideas.
DSLR Camera w/ SD card, fully charged cellphone (along with portable back up charger), lipstick, compact mirror, gum,pen for note taking. *Pro-Tip* The first night I had my camera, but forgot about my SD card. The second night of the show I had my SD but forgot I left my camera on all night. Be sure to learn from my mistakes be prepared.
5) Don’t be afraid to make new friends.
Pro Tip* – It’s a fashion show usually everyone looks fabulous, start off with a compliment and see where it goes from there. Sometimes lifelong friends are made from simple conversations.
Most of all – Relax and Have Fun!!!
