I can't believe that next week is Sept which means that not only is it my birthday month but Fashion Week starts again! It's all about seeing shows, presentations, going backstage to do interviews and the parties! I love running into my friends who are also covering, talking shop and somewhere in between, you find the time to upload content. I also love that I get interviewed about what's going on or someone snaps a pic for whatever publication they are working with so you always have to be ready. I'm all about easy dressing that's super fashionable, no fuss and looks fab with heels. At the same time I know what works in terms of beauty items to keep on site. My secrets are now yours with my musts.

First, I have used Palmer's Cocoa Butter since I was a little girl. I can go through an entire large tub in a very short period of time. I love the smell, the fact that it keeps my skin smooth and when you do have blemishes, it takes them away (on a recent trip back from Miami TSA took my Cocoa Butter (but this is in any drugstore so no worries on not being able to find it) - it's not a liquid sigh at least I had a backup). I don't go anywhere without this and although they have a convenient stick, I love the tub! Another tip: if you use this everyday, God forbid you forget a day, after taking a shower and toweling off, your skin will stay hydrated!

The past few months I have definitely embraced my inner Poppy from rocking the bags, jewelry, travel accessories and soon jacket - such a cute line but now the fragrance! Coach's Poppy scent has been in my bag since I went to their launch event. It's a fun fragrance and it wears well throughout the day. I do believe it is becoming one of my signature scents as it's perfect for summer and going into the fall, I believe it will work here too!

Jane Iredale has a great cosmetic line and although I liked this translucent SPF 30 puff, once again after having lunch with the creator herself, I fell in love with it even more. Through all my press trips this summer, it has served me well. Since I will do a lot of running around in a small amount of days and being in and out of the sun, you still have to take care of your skin to ensure that it is protected!

Avon is a newer product to enter my little group of go to products. I have had the pleasure of attending a few events here and there and I was sent this large tray of glossed from them that had a number of shades in a natural gloss look, high shine and then sparkly. It wasn't until I was flying out to Boston the other week that I lost my Rosebud Salve (gasp). I was running around the house trying to find it and only the fact that I am anal about getting to the airport at a certain time stopped me from going into hysterics about this. I ran into my office and picked the clear Avon gloss and left - it was something at least. I became a fan after the first dab and haven't stopped using it! It glides on and it feels great. On the days that I don't want color, this is perfect - I'll definitely let you know about the other shades.

These are my essentials whether it's for NY Fashion Week, running around, traveling and more!

This is the time of year that I am seriously living in Starbucks (writing to you from here this second) and am catching flights to learn more about brands. This week I will be in Boston and next week, I will be in Vegas for a number of fashion trade shows where I will be looking at men's and women's collections so expect to see a lot of goodies as we make the descent into fall! I know it's super hot but unfortunately, that's how the calendar works!

If you have ever been out and about with me you know that I always have a notebook of some sort in hand as I do a number of inspiration walks around the city as well as impromptu coverage. I scour through my book to make sure that I have followed up with everyone or whenever inspiration strikes. Personally, I love a leather book that has a place where your pen can be held so that you're never searching for it as well as having the elastic flap to close your book so that it doesn't fly open and your pages are protected! I also love when there is the bookmark as well. I have found that others have adopted my behavior as well. In addition, I think (based on me being inspired by others) that having a nice pen is the perfect compliment to a book. These crystal pens are perfect for an Accessory Expert as well as those that simply like to have something pretty with heft!

Finally, it's all about the bag! Earlier this year, I was introduced to LUANA which has gorgeous handbags but I couldn't take my eyes off of the Meg. Here she is shown in the larger bag and there is a smaller one as well. I love this as it's perfect for your iPad, small laptop and the items you have to take with you when you're on the go. I love the colors (the green one is my fave) and I like that it has the old world school bag feel to it! This is definitely a bag that you should check out. I will update this post to let you know where you can find this but I had to share it with you for those that will be heading back to college in a few weeks, young professionals or those that are just chic wherever they go!
