Work It
Whether you’re hitting the shows, crashing the parties, or just trying to navigate the city during the madness that is Fashion Week, chances are you’ll need a bag stocked with survival needs.
Here are the essentials we’re carrying this week to make the most of all the excitement.
*Be sure to check out our Fall Beauty Guide for inspiration this Fashion Week and beyond.
LARGE BAG
First things first, you need to find yourself a big chic bag to carry all your essentials. Those tiny clutches just won’t do. A structured tote will provide all the versatility you need to hold your things while also looking fashionable and sophisticated.
We love this version from Matt & Nat because it hits all the right points and is cruelty free!
CELL CHARGER
Between the fabulous looks and celeb-spottings, you’ll want to have some serious battery potential. ‘Gram or it didn’t happen, right??
You could get one of those big charger cases, or just carry around this cheeky Charge On The Go Charger perfect for a conversation starter.
MOISTURIZER SPRAY
People always associate dry skin with Winter, but all that sun and sweat can actually leave your skin in need of moisture. Especially on a busy day running around.
Instead of carrying around a jar of moisturizer, we recommend a moisturizing spray. You can use it throughout the day to hydrate, and spritz it over your makeup! We love Josie Maran’s Nirvana Hydrating Treatment Mist.
DRY SHAMPOO
Who has time to do their hair each day when they’re bouncing from party to party? If you can stand it, let your hair last a few days with the help of some dry shampoo.
Dry shampoo can be a girl’s best friend, but finding the right one is hard. Cult favorite, Captain Blankenship Mermaid Dry Shampoo is our go to!
LIPSTICK
Every fabulous grandma will teach you that the secret to looking put together on the fly is a great lipstick. That pop of color immediately draws attention, and can trick people into thinking you spent hours getting ready (which if you’re like us, you totally did not!).
Along with all of our other Fall Beauty Essentials, we rounded up some seriously amazing lipsticks you have to try! Our makeup bags may or may not be packed with all new buys…
WATER BOTTLE
You know how we said hydrating the skin was important? Well, same goes for your body. When you’re running around busy all day, it’s easy to forget to drink water. But if you have a super cute water bottle with you, keeping hydrated is a no brainer.
SUSTENENCE
We make it a habit to ALWAYS have some kind of snack in our bag. It’s a good habit for everyday because you just never know when there’s gonna be a subway delay or you’ll need a pick me up before that barre class. But especially during Fashion Week and other busy weeks, be sure to carry a snack. Long waits at restaurants, running from place to place, and the meager refreshment tables call for snacks.
Try our Travelin’ Snacks, Sriracha Popcorn Trail Mix, or just pack your fav granola bar.
FIERCE FLATS
Flats are the new heels. Let’s be real, even the queen of heels herself, Victoria Beckham is rocking sneaks these days. If you just can’t be seen at the shows or parties without your heels, still be sure to pack some comfy cute flats for getting around, or for some serious dancing!
We’re obsessed with these new Keds for Kate Spade Glitter Sneakers.
