Fashion Week Essentials

PageDaily


1. A Change of Shoes: CitySlips
If there's a time to wear flats, Fashion Week is not it. Trendy sky-high heels wreak havoc on your feet whether you're a model, celebrity, editor or blogger running from show to show. Give your toes a break between engagements with comfy flats that fit in your bag.

2. Long-wearing Color: Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color and 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil

A statement-making loud lip or eye look is a must-have for Fashion Week. For a chic, classic red lip or edgy smokey eye that lasts, we love Urban Decay. The shadow pencil is easy to apply even in the back of a cab and stays on like no other product we've tried. The lip pencil is highly pigmented and does not budge even after your second or third after-party cocktail.

3. A long-lasting blowout: John Freida 3-Day Straight + Volume Refresher

We think there's a reason why fashion world people are always photographed with a high top-knot bun: they haven't had time for a blowout. If you can make time for a pro-blowdry, make it last by using John Freida 3-day straight product. And if your hair is falling flat or feeling greasy, their Volume Refresher does the trick and smells amazing, too!

4. An anywhere charger:

We asked Olivia Palermo what her number one Fashion Week essential is: "My Blackberry charger!" It's true - between snapping photos, tweeting, pulling up a confirmation email and Googling to find out the name of that blonde starlet in the front row, your tech can fail you. Luckily lots of lounges including Maybelline in Lincoln Center have charging stations. But if you don't have time to stop, keep one of Powermat's wireless chargers with you to charge up.

5. A quick-fix kit:

You never know what little thing you might need be it gum, floss, tissues, q-tips or blister pads. You have to be prepared! Fortunately Kmart came to our rescue with Zico Coconut Water to rehydrate, safety pins for potential wardrobe malfunctions, a Tide Pen (affiliate), lip balm, hand sanitizer, mints and a chic shade of nail polish for touch-ups! …which are items every girl should keep in her bag!
