DIY Fashion Week



Here is a beautiful runway show to get you in the mood. Be on the look out for the stunning Yasmin Lebon wife to Duran Duran Lead singer Simon Lebon.




I know some us will not be going to the big apple for Fashion week . So here are some things you can do from home. To have a slice of the NYC fashion apple.

Pajama's
Buy yourself a fun pair . You know the goofy pj pants with grown up designs on them. You can get them at target for 10.00 dollars an up. I tweeted my Academy Award coverage in pair of very cute PJ's .Make them your fashion week pajama's darlinks.

Nails
Paint your nails with a NYC nail color Opi of course has some options.

Not Really A Waitress
My Private Jet
Flashbulb Fuchsia
Big Apple Red

Go to opi.com for swatches for these colors. It's fun to look at all the names of the polishes.





Fashion Night Out T-Shirts
Its a way of having your own little piece of fashion week. Even Barbara Walters rocked one out on the view last year. They go for about 25.00 to 30.00 part of the proceeds go to charity.

Ben & Jerrys New York Super Fudge Chunk

 Yes Ben & Jerry's has a website (http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/our-flavors/#product_id=27 )Don't go there if your hungry . You'll be running out to the store before you know it. I didnt know about the new flavors. Will have to try for research .

Increase Your Fashion Vocab
 There is a site I use all the time stylopedia . Especially during red carpet shows for instance. Wonder what a Flounce is ?

Flounce The flounce is cut from two circles creating a full flare at the hem and a smooth fitting line at the point at which it is attached to the garment

Bateau Neckline Also called a boat neckline; cut in shallow curve from shoulder to shoulder


Twitter

Last years hashtag was #NYFW for fashion night out it was #FNO
Jump in the trending some of your favorite makeup , hair & thread bangers will be tweeting live from shows an parties. Last year I felt like I was there. Its a good way to get a real life , real time look at all the goings on. One tweet last year had me in stitches when a makeup artist tweeted " Someone forgot to feed the models."  It was really allot of fun. I learned allot last year.


NYC Fashion Week Schedule

I'd print this out an post it to your fridge. Makes you feel like your there . Plus if your dying for a recap of Marc Jacobs show. You'll know when to start looking for footage.
