nicole miller fall/winter 2013
If you've read much about nyfw, you've probably heard that the majority of shows really highlighted wearable collections. I found that a lot of the big trends were similar to those of the last FW shows, but reinvented. Menswear inspired, furs, leathers, cutouts etc... you know the deal. All of it was brought out in this show with a downtown cool and but with polished silhouettes. If you'd like to read our full article on the show, please check it out on Chictopia!

nyfw friday
While I want to start this blog off by saying it's "better late than never", that's actually not true when it comes to fashion events, is it? Surely you've already heard everything about nyfw and the super-storm that hit it early in the week. Nevertheless, I'll still let you all into nyfw from our humble point of view.
Only a year ago, we had never been to NYC and this February, we ventured out on our third trip to fashion week. We're so thankful to Chictopia for offering us the opportunity to earn this trip every six months... I don't know any company who treats their freelancers this well!
Packing for this trip was so difficult because we were warned of this impending blizzard that would be hitting us in Toronto, while we were about to embark on our trip. Obviously, it was also slated to follow us to our destination in New York when we arrived. My mentality while packing was just, "eff it, I want to be warm." so I opted for modest heels and wore two coats at all times.
In our previous trips, we stayed a few subway stops away from the Lincoln Center, thinking "oh, it's only a couple of stops and a few minutes to walk", but this time laziness got the best of me & I immediately booked at the Empire Hotel when I found out that we were going. This hotel is so laughably close, that they actually have a camera pointed at Lincoln Square so that you can watch it on the TV in your room. YES. Oh yeah, and it's basically the Gossip Girl Hotel.
Just a really quick rundown of Friday...
We took an overnight trip into NYC, arrived at 8am and THANKFULLY our room was ready for early check-in
apparently Sam predicted the decor when she wore her Mink Pink tiger sweater from LuLu*s.
Settled into our room for a bit and then headed out to check out times square while the blizzard started
We went to Times Square again, and the hail was legit whipping us in the faces, so it wasn't a great time & it was just too hard to take out a camera. We fabric shopped a bit but it was generally an uneventful day.
Went to our first few fashion shows:
Chartreuse Paisley Dress from LuLu*s, Marc by Marc Jacobs Werdie satchel, UB leather perfecto jacket, Aldo viersen boots.
Zara faux fur coat, Call it Spring brass knuckle purse, Blackmilk resurrection leggings.
We finished the night with Dinner at Ed's Chowder House (because it's IN the hotel & we don't have to brave the inclement conditions) and a few beers in our room. It was phenom.
Pics of the Fashion Shows are coming up in separate posts! Thanks for your patience guys!

a snapshot of NYFW
So last weekend, we went to New York for fashion week again! It was our THIRD time in NYC within a year and it's all thanks to Chictopia. This time around, we found out only 3 weeks prior to leaving so our bookings were rushed and then the official announcement only happened a day before our departure, so we didn't get a chance to blog about it yet!
So if you've been out of our loop... SURPRISE! We're back from NYC & we'll start with just a quick feed of snapshots from our instagram. It was a shorter trip than usual but we had a blast staying at the Empire Hotel across the street from the Lincoln Center. Despite the massive blizzard called Nemo following us into the city, we had a great time! Check out the pics that we grammed for now-- we'll update you for realsies soon.
