Under The Tents: NYFW Day 3

On day three under the NYFW tents, I had the experience of a lifetime. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably heard me gagging about it the entire day. I finally got a chance to experience first-hand a DVF collection viewing. As one of my top three favorite designers, words can’t express how amazing this was for me. I mean, I was geeked! I’m bubbling over with excitement just thinking about it, but let’s start from the top of the day.

My first stop was at the Stone Rose Lounge at Columbus Circle for The Daily Style Sessions. There I met up with good friends Misha of The Fab Chick and Annika H. to sip cocktails, enjoy free beauty treatments and pretty much…lounge!

After that I headed to Lincoln Center to wait for the DVF Spring 2012 show to begin. Can you see the excitement on my face? Lol!

Inside I ran into this super cute girl who’s hair was bigger than mine! She’s from China and she’s a designer who met DVF in China and was personally invited by her to come and watch the show. How amaze is that?
Sat across from Nicky Hilton…
…and Rachel Zoe! Above is supermodel Joan Smalls rocking the runway as well.

Overall it was an awesome show – quite possibly the most exciting 15 minutes of my fashion week.

After the show I ran into super model Selita Ebanks and….*drumroll please*

…DVF!!! I was so absolutely honored to be in her presence, she’s such an inspiration. And she chatted me up about the collection like we were BFFs – love her!
