If Day 1 of NYFW was a marathon, Day 2 definitely felt like a sprint! More like a sprint in the middle of August with minimal water…it was rough!
We started the day off pretty early, hitting up Pier 59 Studios to grab some video footage and photos from Sam and Pierre before show. At this point, I’m feeling great after my first cup of coffee and chocolate chip cookie from a cornerstone bakery! A few of you guys DM’ed me and asked about my outfit. Honestly, I find most of my finds in vintage shops!
Then we hit the Milly show, where a ton of style abounded both on and off the runway. Walking around filming the setup, I did get my photo snapped a few times so that was definitely fun! 
The inspiration for this collection was definitely fur and color-inspired, and I saw that through the playful use of color and texture throughout the collection. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation, and loved how the models encircled the space!
Afterwards Esmesha and I ran into journalist and FBD reader Alicia Quarles, who was wearing Milly and looking fabulous. Quick selfie time! However, we couldn’t stay too long; the 5:31 Jerome show was beginning in a few hours and my stomach was rumbling for something tasty! We grabbed a quick slice of Pizza and then trecked our way forward! 
The 5:31 Jerome show was definitely my favorite show thus far, just in the stylistic approach of the models to even how he presented his collection. Although we had to wait (it felt like) forever to get upstairs, security guards and long hauls of “I HAVE A TICKET” people kept company while waiting for the elevators to go upstairs. He didn’t conventionally show them coming down a catwalk or walking around, but rather had them stand behind a line and stand and pose. 
Occasionally they would rotate out, bringing in new pieces to showcase. Jerome was there, and I was able to grab a couple of photos of him with his models, but also a sweet selfie to show ya’ll how much fun we were having!
After a long day of hauling to shows and surviving the New York Transit system (which has no service, by the way, and drives me insanely mad), we had one more stop to make which proved to be eventful. Invited to the Ty-Lite Launch Party, it was time to go out and get your selfie on! 
When we got there, the rooms were filled to capacity so thank goodness for heavy coats and gloves! After finally getting inside, I was able to grab some selfies with a few celebs, including Ty Hunter himself, Ariane from LHHATL and the model Shaun Ross. 
Fashionistas were out SLAYING IT ZOWWWWN in fur coats and boats, so nobody came to play! Camera quality was definitely my factor of the night, but the party did give me “college basement” vibes, so I guess the photos are befitting.
After being out of the house for over 12 hours straight, I collapsed when I got home. How people survive three and four shows a day plus after parties is beyond me. Final thoughts of Day 2 were simply, “Now this is fashion week.” Trust me, if you don’t absolutely and completely love what it is you do, you’ll never survive this week. But I’m signing out, grabbing some rest for another big day tomorrow! Smooches <3
P.S. Shoutouts and thank you’s go out to Sam and Pierre who stood out in the blistering cold with Esmesha and me to grab footage and photos. Another shoutout to Ariane who saved me from complete darkness in the party by using her Ty-Lite so we could take our selfie. You’re the real MVP.
