new york fashion week {day 6}

Top: J. Crew; Pants: J. Crew; Shoes: Charlotte Olympia; Clutch: Vintage; Sunglasses: Karen Walker; Jewelry: Lauren Elan c/o

This will forever be the outfit that I caught Bill Cunningham snapping a picture of my shoes in. Whether or not that picture makes it into the Sunday Style section -- it doesn't matter. It's still a big check for the ol' bucket list. 

And speaking of to-do lists -- have any of you checked out the Threadflip New York Fashion Week flash sale? I highly recommend you take a quick work break to do so -- before I snap up too many of the items here myself! Plus, 100% of the proceeds benefit the Rescue Paw Foundation. Shopping for a cause? Not bad for a Friday morning, eh?

Top and skirt: Patricia Chang (borrowed); Shoes: Zara; Sunglasses: Karen Walker

Ah, yes, Patricia Chang strikes again with this outfit! You may have seen some of her work in this last outfit here and I'm still beyond myself that she asked if I wanted to borrow some of her pieces for Fashion Week. (Seriously, you guys need to check out her Spring collection -- the doctor's coat is everything!) 

For this particular outfit, Heather and I decided to take a slight pause before our show festivities by indulging in a cocktail (or two) out on the terrace of our hotel, the Yotel. The sweeping views of both the Hudson and skyline behind us made for the perfect, kick up your heels treat. And on that note, I'd like to send out a huge thank you to the Yotel for hosting me during my stay in New York. Aside from their amazing terrace bar, we couldn't have been in a more perfect location (Hell's Kitchen) which made multiple outfit changes throughout the day incredibly easy. My favorite part though? The bellhop staff was awesome -- such great senses of humor and they never failed to recognize a pair of statement shoes when they saw it (kindred spirits!).

Someone pinch me -- this is really happening.

I'm excited to announce that this Saturday, I'll be covering the backstage happenings at Prabal Gurung's Spring/Summer 2013 show (!!) alongside my good friends Heather and Alicia. Being a longtime fan of Prabal's work (case in point, see here and here) I can't wait to get a sneak peek at the madness that ensues behind the curtain before the show begins. Make sure you tune in for all my Twitter and Instagram updates at 10 a.m. EST and if you can't wait to see all the full looks (let's admit it, who wants to wait?) you can peep the collection live starting at 12 noon EST on the Prabal Gurung Facebook page.

To prepare for the big day -- and trust me -- preparations are in order, we had the amazing opportunity earlier this week to stop by Prabal's new office in the Garment district to partake in, what else, but a little dress up. (I might need someone to pinch me again, here). Be sure to check out how Heather and Alicia style their looks as well!

And to top this all off (yes, there's more) -- you can snag some Prabal for yourself! Like my look on Facebook here for a chance to win my t-shirt. 

Now how's that for a happy Fashion Week, ladies!?
