As New York Fashion
Week came to an end, we were finally able to take a take a five-minute breather!
Although it must be noted, the minute that five-minute breather ended, I wanted
fashion week to start all over again. I genuinely didn’t mind the hectic fashion
show schedules, endless shooting agendas, draining sessions of trekking around the city in
circles for days. If anything, I loved every second of the chaos and desperately searched for a restart button.
On the bright side, it meant that I could freely roam the vast streets of New York City and finally sink in the sites like a real tourist should. When traveling, comfort is EVERYTHING to me. I don't want to wear anything that could remotely translate into a wardrobe malfunction. Therefore, when wanting to stay comfortable yet stylish, you can't go wrong with a cotton knee length dress. You just can't. I chose a striped figure-hugging, long-sleeved one from DKNY. It was the perfect dress for a long day in the city because it was so comfortable to wear. It's one of those low-maintenance dresses that look like anything but, with its intricate layering effect in the front and bold print. I loved the way it fit. A pivotal element? Its stretchy fabric meant I could easily move in it as well. It allowed me to walk/power walk/jog if I really wanted to.
With it, I carried along my trusty Michael Kors Selma satchel in the color tan. It's safe to say that it's one of my favorite classic accessories as it goes with everything, and it's big enough to fit almost anything. This includes my absolute essentials which I brought with me eve-ry-where, such as: Fuji camera, makeup, NYC Lonely Planet guidebook, sunglasses, passport, a large water bottle and finally a pair of flip-flops (Yes, that's right. Just in case my feet get worn out from heels). That's why you don't see me carrying clutches very often - I don't/can't carry light!
As for my makeup look, I sported basic foundation, powder, blush + bright red lipstick. As you can see, I wasn't wearing any eyeshadow, eyeliner or mascara. My eyes get easily irritated so If I know I'm going to have a particularly long day, I try to keep them natural. Also, I never ever wear mascara unless I absolutely have to. Mascara is wonderful to enhance ones lashes, but when applied on me, it feels uncomfortable, hence I stay clear from it. I'm obsessed with brows and I use a combination of Too Faced Bulletproof Brows in brunette, Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in dark brown and Tony Moly eyebrow tattoo in light brown to shape them. Last but not least, the lipstick I'm wearing is my favorite hue of red from Make Up For Ever.

Alas, all good things must come to an end, so that other wonderful journeys may be given the chance to have their beginnings.
