Our 5 NYFW Musts: How We Get From Morning To Night

Burt's Bees
Cliché as it might be, there's plenty of double kissing at Fashion Week. Make sure your lips are not only hydrated but attractively dressed with one of these 100% natural, full coverage creamy matte lip color crayons from Burt's Bees. Easy to apply and lightweight, they’re formulated with shea butter, kendi oil and jojoba oil so they feel just as good as they look.
"Whether it's a fun day look with a few swipes of Sedona Sands, the wonderful new nude lip crayon from Burt's Bees, or a perfectly-edged, super richly pigmented red lip using Burt's Bees lip crayon Napa Vineyard, you can't go wrong when it's 100% natural, super long-lasting and easy to apply. Toss a corresponding tinted lip balm from Burt's Bees into your purse for quick layering of a surge of moisture when you need it most, and you're set from morning until night," says Denno.
Available in six colors.

3.1 Phillip Lim
When you’re very busy, it’s best not to waste time (or risk forgetting/misplacing things) switching bags day-to-night or day-to-day. With that in mind, versatility is key, which is why this timeless black leather carry-all from Phillip Lim is perfect.

Electronics
While it may be portrayed as glamorous, at the end of the day, most of the people who are NYFW regulars are there to do a job. This makes an iPad or lightweight laptop an essential. Along with, of course, a smartphone for quick social media updates.
Apple, prices vary

Healthy Snacks
There was a time when you’d go to the NYFW tents and, even if you weren’t in one of the invite-only lounges, there were plenty of snacks, free lattes and booze for days. Not so anymore, so toting around fuel is imperative. Inspired by Fashion Week, Big T's teas are full of beauty-boosting antioxidants (key when you're not getting enough sleep) and they taste just as good cold as they do warm. A staple backstage at the likes of Nanette Lepore and Billy Reid, you can brew them in small batches and throw them in your bag.
Something to nosh on is also important and Organic Avenue has plenty of healthy, tasty options — all of which you can pick up at one of the brand's many shops or shipped to your home. One Lucky Duck is another good option.

J.Crew
When people who have never been to Fashion Week ask about what shoes to wear, they’re surprised to find out that most people who cover shows extensively wear flats. The truth is, it’s crammed, people are pushy and you’re spending a ton of time waiting in lines — comfortable shoes are key! Just because you’re going with a flat, however, doesn’t mean you can’t go bold. Ideally, stick to a shoe with some black so it’s versatile enough to wear multiple times throughout the week.
