#NYFW Recap: Getting Beautified and What I Wore

This fashion week has been so busy, but it worked out well that Birchbox set up a pop-up for beauty touch-ups across from MILK studios, where some of the shows this week were held. I dragged my stylish pal, Renata of Scorpion Disco, to check it out before we headed to see the Alice and Olivia presentation.

This was day 5 of NYFW, so my nails were in desperate need of help. Nicole J. for Color Club made me feel more polished (no pun intended) in a pale metallic nail color, which I picked out because if it chipped in the next few days and I didn’t own the color or have time, it would still look good.

Kerastase also saved my so-so hair day and envisioned a beautiful beachy wave with my bohemian outfit. My hair naturally does that wave, but it never looks as good as when someone actually spends time on it. What actually works, according to this stylist, was to curl the hair in a tighter curl, let it cool before touching it—no matter your urge to touch it! She used a hair spray to hold them in place, but broke apart the curls slightly by rubbing the hairs between her fingers. It really worked and even looked better the next day. It’s hard to want to wash your hair when your ‘do looks better each day!

After my touch ups, I was able to make my own Birchbox. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this brand, Birchbox is a great way to try out 4-5 new products that get sent to your mailbox each month with a membership (it also makes a great gift, which I’ve given and people love!). With the help of the Birchbox ladies’ recommendations, I picked out some great ones including a Stila lip gloss that was my perfect shade of red and didn’t come off until I brushed my teeth that evening!

Thank goodness I got my touch ups because while Bill Cunningham didn’t snap me that day (he may have another day…but I he was getting the fashionista next to me!), Guest of a Guest did!
