stammy, i'm on my way

It's that time of year again... and as I am beginning my personal reports fashionably late, I do apologize for the delay! Looks like all of my fellow fashion bloggers have taken a chic leave of absence and have settled in New York City for the next few days. I'm actually en route to the city as we speak- I'm loving Bolt Bus with their comfy chairs, outlets, and wireless access. :)

Things I'm looking forward to for the next few days:
  • Actually seeing the tents (I've never been in NY for fall OR spring shows before, so I've yet to see the setup at Bryant Park!), which have taken on a 'voting' theme this season. Not quite sure how I feel about that... but I guess it's interesting to see a cross-promotion between fashion and politics...
  • Working as a papergirl for WWD. The only downside? Having to wear a logoed black tshirt during my time at the tents. These are the times that remind me that accessories are key. Also, that I don't have any accessories to jazz up my outfits with. Haha.
  • Shmoozing myself into shows sans invitations. :)
  • Do I even have to mention the street style? This photo from The Sartorialist excites me to no end.
  • As much as I hate to admit it- people watching. (read: celeb/model/editor spottings)
  • Tonight: shopping, shopping, shopping for things to wear for my uber-shortlived stay here... My closet at school is too damn ill equipped! Arghhhhhhh
Recommended reads throughout FW: The Sartorialist for some of the best dressed in the city; Fashionista for party & etc pics; The Cut for snappy, up-to-date runway reviews. {ETA: Racked is doing an amazing job of 'liveblogging'-- Photos from Marc Jacobs are already up!}

Be back in a few!
