My first day of New York Fashion Week had a few firsts (Tadashi Shoji runway show instead of just backstage<\/a> and Noon by Noor). My day two is all firsts. I\u2019m stepping out of my comfort zone this season and letting less mainstream names fill my runway repertoire.<\/p>\n

Where’d NYFW go?<\/h3>\n

Before I get into that, can we all just take a moment to mourn the loss of public transportation in our fashion week travel plans? As you may know, the shows moved venues YET AGAIN this season. It’s the fourth (well, 5th if we count MILK) major venue shift we\u2019ve experienced in the last ten years. Changing it up four times in a decade isn\u2019t too bad I guess, but if you think about the fact that it\u2019s a TON of shows to move, it becomes a little bit more hectic.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ve moved from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center, on to Skylight at Moynihan Station (34th St.) and now down to Skylight Clarkson Sq on Washington St. or as I like to call it, No Man\u2019s Land. Maybe No Man\u2019s Land is a little bit of a misnomer. People are walking the streets of West Side Highway and stuff, just not during the winter.<\/p>\n

The reasoning behind the move is because there are more galleries and artists in the area. That\u2019s cool, but we\u2019re now entirely dependent on only one train- the 1 train. As someone who primarily only does public transportation to get me around town, this was sad news. Also, this area is the home of wind tunnels. \ud83d\ude41 I\u2019m clearly not into the new location. Then again, I wasn\u2019t into 34th St. either.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s move on from me bitching and moaning about the location move and get back to what happened the second day!<\/p>\n

New York Fashion Week 2017: Slushy Snow Won’t Stop Me! Edition<\/h3>\n

I started the day similarly to yesterday. AKA, wake up at 7:15 AM, walk the dog, put on makeup, put on semi-coherent clothes. This time around, there was no blizzard, so I actually left the house looking semi-OK. I went through 3 wardrobe changes before finally leaving the house. I decided sticking to flat boots was the best idea since the snow is all slushy and there’s ice on the ground. I fell yesterday, so I wasn’t looking forward to falling today.<\/p>\n

10:00 AM:<\/strong> Dan Liu<\/p>\n

Haven’t seen Dan Liu. Last season, there were some schedule conflicts I ran into, so I ended up passing on the invite to a blogger friend. This season I made sure that I wasn’t going to overload myself. I didn’t send out any invite requests or hellos to remind PR I exist. I kinda decided to let things flow naturally and see where they take me.<\/p>\n

I ended up sitting with my friend Mila. The collection was perfect for her because she designs scarves and there were MANY scarves used as accessories. The clothes might be more appealing to a preppier crowd. My style is a little bit dark\/flowy\/rock’n’roll, so I didn’t quite feel it fit my aesthetic. The designer has a great voice though, and he capped off the show with a song!<\/p>\n
