Hey curvy girls all over the world,
Tomorrow is the official start of fashion week and I have yet to pack my survival kit bag. This will be SC’s 3rd year attending fashion week and I am thankful for the opportunity. Being that it’s my 3rd year, I’ve learned to always be prepared for anything. So here is a list of the most important things for me to have to survive NYFW
1. Flats-For those of you who don’t know, I do not play when it comes to my feet hurting. I love my heels but I will whip out my flats in 2.5 seconds when my feet start to hurt. Normally while traveling to an event I wear my flats and when I get a block away I go behind a car and put my heels on. Hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
2. An extra camera battery- Sometimes I like to record backstage footage of shows or just take a ridiculous amount of pictures when I attend a show. It’s embarrassing and annoying when your camera dies. So I bring an extra battery with me just in case.
3.Makeup bag- After running from show to show sometimes I need to refresh my lipstick and powder down my shiny forehead.
4. Snack-Sometimes I have a few minutes between shows and I like to eat a little Nutty Butty to help recharge.
5. Notebook-I carry a notebook with me because I take notes at shows. Sometimes when I’m writing my reviews I refer back to my notes of what stood out to me.
6- Magazine-Unfortunately I don’t take cabs to shows. I have to take the train so I need reading material and magazines are the best thing for me.
7.Nikon Point & Shoot-Duh, I need my camera so I can take loads of pics and record mini videos. I have a wide 5X zoom to take quality pictures when I am sitting in the nose bleed seats or have to stand way in the back.
8.Perfume- I keep a small tube of perfume with me so I can stay fresh and smelling good while traveling back and forth.
9. Blackberry-My blackberry holds all the information to show dates and times it also allows me to update my twitter and facebook with photos and my personal commentary.
10. Aleve-I get headaches often fromt he hustle and bustle. I go to many shows in between working my full time job. Sometimes I am just moving so fast. Aleve helps with any headaches that I may incur.
Well, that’s it for me. Be sure to follow me on Twitter for of the moment updates and also be sure to follow me on facebook for extra photos of shows that I may not post on the blog.
