Travel Woes.

So... I had been planning for London Fashion Week for about 2 months. Shopping, scheduling, networking and so on. I arrive, nothing went as planned. I was very sick the whole time and spent more hours in my hotel bed than shopping or attending shows. I'm quite irritated about the whole situation and wish I could go back in my delorean with the Doc. Things are as they are and that's that. My entire coverage of LFW live, did not exist. I seriously want to cry. I will be honest and say I have already shed a few tears. I will be back next week with new posts and show off a few photos I did take and give some reviews of the hot London designs for spring/summer 2010. Hope all your lovelies have a fantastic weekend and week to come! I will return Oct. 1. xoxo Peace and Love.

Can you smell it? mmm... Fashion Week is in the air! From New York to London, I've put together a little treasure chest full of my must-haves for Fashion Week. (especially for all you die-hard fashionistas)

I must tell you that everything you see is what is piled in my room upstairs and will be my arm candy next week while boarding the plane to London. (if I can manage to carry it all) Yes, you don't see any clothes, shoes or accessories (yet) but that is why this is a "20 Fashion Week Must Haves- Part 1", hence there will be a part 2 next week. In which will showcase the rest of my motherload pile, sitting on the back of the couch (across from my piled vanity of course) that will literally be stuffed into a HUGE suitcase, while I thank God above that my hotel has an iron.

Don't think that attending Fashion Week is all glam, because believe you me it's alot of work! I've been shopping for 2 months, organzing events, making travel arrangements, scheduling my mani/pedi-haircut-facial, emailing back and forth with press contacts, all while trying desperately to lose 10 more pounds! There have been many days I just wanted to grab a snickers bar from all the stress. But I've been good and I'm ready to go! (well expect for trying to close my suitcase) and I'm excited! So all in all the preparations for LFW have been well worth it for me! Are you headed to London Fashion Week? What's in your suitcase?
