And so it begins.  Today is the first day of fashion week in New York and the city is a buzz.  Even though we’ve just started getting ready for fall, everyone is excited to see what designers have in store for Spring 2013. I’m scheduled to attend more than 60 shows.  Whether I make it to them all is another story.  I’m most excited to attend Jenny Packham, Marissa Webb, the Harper’s Bazaar breakfast, and all the men’s shows, for obvious reasons. To follow all the fun in real time, you can follow me on twitter and instagram.  For those of you not interested in fashion, my normal life will resume on Friday, September 14th. 

Until then, I will be chugging lots of Diet Coke, hiding the bags under my eyes with my Lookmatic glasses, and trying to keep track of my schedule in my Smythson diary, and on my iPhone calendar.  It takes a village to make it through but I know a million girls would kill to be attending fashion week so I won’t complain!
