What to Wear in NYC
If you're off to the Big Apple like the E! Style Contributor grand prize winner Stacee Michelle, you're going to need to bring a few things with you. To help you think like a fashion girl, Stacee shares her must-haves.
Statement Suitcase
For starters, a stylish suitcase goes with everything, so have fun with an animal-print take.
Hairspray
If you're running around (at NYFW, per se), a strong-hold hairspray, like TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray, will expertly tames flyaways and keep hair in place all day.
Knit Dress
Knit dresses are really on-trend this season and a bold print makes it the perfect attire for fashion week outings.
Missoni Dress, $1,271
Bomber Jacket
When it's chilly, layer up with the season's hottest jacket: the bomber! For a fashion-girl twist, embroidered florals add just the right amount of flair.
Knee-High Boots
Knee-high boots will elongate your legs and make you feel like a supermodel. Besides, a neutral camel color is so transitional and goes with just about any outfit!
Cat-Eye Sunnies
Fashion rule number one: Sunglasses are always in season. Go bold like a city girl with oversized cat-eyes.
Dita Stormy Sunglasses, $550
Siganture Scent
Having a signature scent is every successful woman's secret weapon. This one's mine: I can't leave the house without spraying it on.
Jimmy Choo Illicit, $112
Dry Shampoo
If you're crunched for time and unable to wash your hair, a dry shampoo, like TRESemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo, will flawlessly revive your hair in a pinch!
Wrap Skirt
A classic wrap skirt with a slit never goes out of style. Not to mention: It makes it easy to trek around the city.
Vampy Lipstick
A bold lipstick is my favorite way to give any outfit an instant edge, especially when roaming the streets of NYC.
Emergency Snacks
Finding time to eat can be a challenge during fashion week, so it's always good to have some emergency snacks on hand. Gummy bears are without a doubt my go-to!
Crossbody Bag
When you're on the go in the city, a practical (read: hands-free) bag will make your life so much easier!
Diane Von Furstenburg Micro Secret Agent Leather Crossbody Bag, $178
