On the first night of NY Fashion Week, models, moms and celebrity moguls came out to celebrate Paul Frank Industries’ new children’s collection called “Circus Jumble” at Hudson Mercantile.

The event featured two runway shows with mini models strutting the catwalk and the event opened up to a lively party for kids of all ages with music by DJ Fulano, snacks of cotton candy and popcorn and entertainment by aerialists, contortionists and stilts walkers.

Even though I wasn’t able to make the event, I passed my invite on to one of my good friends – Jovan (IG: @ponyy_boyy) and his adorable baby sister. They said the event was so much fun and the collection had some really nice pieces. Here are some shots he got while there.

New York Fashion Week was held from February 11-19th. It was a week filled with networking, activities, after parties but most importantly…. FASHION! I traveled into NYC from New Jersey so I made sure to have a larger bag with me so I can pack everything I need for the day since I wasn’t be able to head home in between shows. Here are just a few of my MUST HAVE items that I packed with me for #NYFW.

1. My camera, Nikon D3200 – I never leave home without my camera when I am headed to events. As a blogger, the photos accompanying the post are just as important as the content.

2. Business Cards! – This is one of those items that you should always have on you. You never know who you will run into when out & it’s better to be prepared.

3.Cell Phone & battery pack – In this day & age, I don’t know anyone who can be away from their phone for more than 5 minutes. During NYFW, you are constantly checking out social media and posting updates so having a battery pack is super important for when your phone starts to die and you need a recharge.

4. Gum – Self Explanatory, everyone likes minty breath 🙂

5. Oil Blotting Papers – I’m super oily so I never leave home without blotting papers.

6. Urban Decay Naked on the Run – This palette saved me during this NYFW season. It is the ultimate beauty traveling kit. I usually keep a mini make up bag with me and mid day all the contents are randomly spread throughout my purse. This kit has all your needs in 1 case and has everything you need for a complete look or just a touch up. Here’s what is included: Eyeshadow: Dive (metallic rose w/golden micro-shimmer), Fix (soft taupe matte), Resist (medium metallic taupe), Dare (medium brown matte), Stun (metallic bronze w/light gold micro-shimmer) and 5050 (cool bisque satin). Bronzer: medium bronze matte. Blush: vibrant pink w/light shimmer. Perversion Mascara: blackest black. 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil: Stag (deep brown satin). Naked Lipgloss: Sesso (rose w/pink shimmer). Everything about this palette is perfection. I often find myself reaching for it when I have limited time at home to get ready as well.
