the only downside to fashion week is that i won't be able to style my own shoots cause i won't have any time, so that aspect will have to be on a slight hold. but of course, the shows will give me inspiration for new themes for shoots! can't wait!
fashion week prep: this time around
last season was the first time i worked on shows during fashion week. let's just say i was not prepared. i almost fainted while still working at 3am and nice people had to fan me. this season i am so prepared its not even funny ha ha. here is what i do:
-stock up on food for 2 weeks
-stock up on bottled water and V8 fusion juice, need to stay hydrated all the live long day
-stock up on granola bars for on the go
-buy lots of fruits and veggies to make a shake cause there will be no time for eatin' healthy, you take whatever food you can get, eat fast, and back to work
-paint my nails freshly black
-remove the pink polish from my toes and then proceed to cut them (this may sound weird and pointless, but i will most likely be wearing lots of heels (just to shows, not to work) and they are more comfy this way.)
-install my printer finally in order to print out all show/presentation/party invitations
-ingest lots of vitamin c
-hang out with friends lots the weekend before because i won't be seein' them during the craziness
-get lots of sleep in exchange for the sleep i won't be getting during fashion week
-make sure to RSVP to all invites, wait for seating assignments
-etc.
last season i didn't know what it was going to be like, so i just threw myself into it. now that i know what is coming, i get a bit nervous and stressed. fashion week in general stresses me out major. i mean i love it, and i get very excited too, but stressssss takes over. and of course all of the prep i have done will go out the window once fashion week actually starts, but the prep makes me feel calm before the storm.
whoooooooooo i'm pumped.
