In the bag… NYFW Survival Kit

39

This NYFW, I’m laying really low.  It feels sacrilegious, but I’m not going to a single show – or either blogger conference.  While this makes me a little sad, there’s a lot going on at the “real job” (BaubleBar,) and I’m finally taking BlogShop this weekend… something I’m so excited about.  I’ve also been really, really sick for the past week.  I’ve realized I have to take a step back and take better care of myself, which means missing out on some of the fun.  That said, I still have a few fun things planned.  Hosting FNO with Nine West, and a few meet-ups here and there with friends.  In the meantime, see below for my ultimate survival kit.

magical case that charges your phone. // An amazing multi-tasking palette to conceal + brighten // The cheeriest iphone case.

dreamy statement necklace that will add an edge to any outfit.  // For blisters… the prettiest band-aids.

These towelettes smell incredible! // Supremely chic, supremely comfy… beautiful ballerinas. // The longest lasting gloss-stain hybrid.

…all packed into the dreamiest of Miu Miu totes!

    sometimes all can’t always be done…but you have so much going on already that whatever you “miss out” on with NYFW, you will definitely make up for in other ways! I hope you’re over your illness!!!

      Hi there! I do remember you. I actually subscribe to your site via reader and love your necklace projects.

      That said, I think you may want to reevaluate how you are interacting and engaging with other bloggers. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but when I spend the time to put together a post, and someone comments on it – with a comment that is completely irrelevant to the content I’ve posted about, only trying to get me and/or my readers to visit there site, I am turned off and lose any desire to visit that person’s site.

      I’m only telling you this because I think you have a lot of talent and potential… but engaging like this could end up hurting your blog a lot in the long run.

    Love the towelettes and the battery charger!!  Need one of those for my droid stat. 

    • Grace Atwood September 4, 2012 at 5:41 pm #

      Ahh, I don’t know if they make one for Droid… hope they do!  Mine has been an absolute life-saver… especially at the conferences!

    Will you do a post on what your blogshop experience?

    • Grace Atwood September 5, 2012 at 4:51 pm #

      I’m not sure it will warrant a post, but if you have any questions, def email me! x

    Love this survival list of all the latest must-haves to keep your sanity during a busy week. Nothing better than being prepared for anything! That necklace is to die for – a necessity to make any outfit pop!

    I want to attend BlogShop so badly. Too bad it’s a little out of my way. Have lots of fun!

    • Grace Atwood September 5, 2012 at 4:50 pm #

      Thanks, so glad you like them! x

    A friend of mine told me about that charging case!  magical indeed, I was fascinated when looking at it, the tech geek I am.  I’m hesitate to get it bc i’m sure I will want to scoop up the new iphone. 

    Might need that travel concealer and brightener though!

    • Grace Atwood September 5, 2012 at 4:49 pm #

      It really is just the best!!!  (The concealer + brightening palette is so good, too…  a definite life saver.)

    I know exactly what you are talking about … caught a bad cold and took it as a sign to relax a little . Feel better ! 

    • Grace Atwood September 5, 2012 at 4:48 pm #

      Yeah, it’s a pain, but taking care of yourself has to come first!  Feel better and try to relax! x

  15. Tierney September 5, 2012 at 9:39 am #

    Now…THAT tote I like.  Classic and structured in a gorgeous lipstick shade.

    • Grace Atwood September 5, 2012 at 12:17 pm #

      Hahaha… I love it too.  I’m just a little sad as it’s nearly twice the price!

    How many gorgeous red purses are you going to make me lust after?! Love this post – I have to try that gloss/stain.

    • Grace Atwood September 5, 2012 at 4:48 pm #

      I know, right?  I want them all.  The gloss/stain is so good… it really stays on!

  17. Sarah September 5, 2012 at 1:21 pm #

    The perfect, timely post :) Thanks for the tips! This is my very first fashion week and I’m totally stressing about what to bring! The only thing I’d add to this list is a little notebook to take notes on, assuming you plan to blog about the shows or street style at some point. Sometimes typing on an iphone isn’t good enough (in my opinion) and I still prefer good old fashioned pen and paper. 

    • Grace Atwood September 5, 2012 at 4:48 pm #

      So glad you found it helpful!!

    im glad youre taking care of yourself. i will be in ny next week for the holidays, maybe we can meet up if youre feeling better?!

    • graceatwood September 7, 2012 at 5:21 pm #

      Oooh I would LOVE that! Email me, please! xo

    I love the cover for the iPhone and that peach purse would be perfect for the office! Great article =)

    • graceatwood September 17, 2012 at 3:01 pm #

      thank you, Tisha!
