“At the start of fashion week I deejayed Cole Haan’s FNO event. I kept my makeup pretty basic using my favorite red lip crayon by Nars, which has the best name, Cruella.

I loved the Karen Walker show, all the girls had huge bangs that they could barely see out of; I actually really want to cut big bangs myself now. I also loved the peachy lips the girls were all rocking.

That night I slept pretty badly. So I woke up and applied a lot of Ren Active 7 Radiant Gel on my not-so-well-rested eyes. This kept me looking tiptop while I did the music for Naeem Khan’s show. Luckily it went amazingly well, but it’s pretty scary doing the music for such a big show — its definitely a major responsibility.

Before the show, I ducked backstage to wish Naeem good luck, and slip into my Naeem Khan dress.

Suno was incredible. The prints and silhouettes were beautiful as always. I had a blast dj-ing their after-party in a cool Chinatown loft.

I had to snap a picture of my shoes while en route to deejay the Monika Chaing presentation. My trick to wearing high shoes throughout fashion week is to never get a pedicure the week before. It definitely helps when they aren’t baby soft!

Later in the week I went to the Interview Magazine dinner at Milk Studios. By this point I was absolutely exhausted. Some Laura Mercier concealer under my eyes saved the day! Here I am with my friend Maryna Linchuk. And that’s a wrap. Thanks for following my New York fashion week beauty adventures!”
