NYFW: Glam, Grit & Red Bottoms
Whew — New York Fashion Week 2025 was one for the books. Equal parts sparkle, stilettos, and way too many suitcases, the week was a whirlwind of shows, activations, late-night eats, and unforgettable moments. From bold runway looks to subway photoshoots in gowns, here’s my full recap of fashion week.

Runway Moments
I kicked off the week with Eloquii’s first-ever fashion presentation in a gorgeous burgundy Eloquii look — and it set the tone for everything that followed. Other highlights included Harlem Fashion Week with Nina Parker, where the energy was unmatched and the styles were next-level.

Brand Activations & Gifting Suites
Between shows, my schedule was packed with brand events that brought fashion and beauty to life in such fun ways:
Bobbi Brown — makeup touch-ups that carried me through long days.
OLAY — a skincare moment I didn’t know I needed.
Walmart x Scoop — chic pieces with that high-fashion feel.
Bollare & BRANDEdit gifting suites — aka suitcase overload (yes, I dragged extras through JFK)!

Foodie Stops Along the Way
Fashion might fuel the week, but food kept us going:
Beauty & Essex — glamorous dinners with the crew.
Katz Diner — because you can’t do NYC without it.
Golden Diner + House of the Red Pearl — cozy bites between shows.
Bad Roman — bold flavors and even bolder vibes.
And yes, Chris snuck away for a classic Prince Street Pizza slice.

Style Highlights
This year, I leaned into bold prints and luxe details. A few favorites:
Tiger Print Set — statement-making and so me.
Sleek Blazer Dress — polished with just the right edge.
Black & White Look — classic but bold.
Dramatic Subway Gown + Red Bottoms — the moment.
Each outfit was a reminder that curves belong in couture, and I felt so powerful showing up in looks that matched the energy of NYFW.

Travel Essentials
NYFW is always a marathon, and the right essentials made the week so much smoother. These were my MVPs for surviving the chaos in style:
Stanley Cup — staying hydrated on the go was key.
Miss Mouth’s Stain Treater — because fashion emergencies happen.
Jack and Rose Travel Steamer — kept every look crisp and fresh.
Travel Makeup Bag — compact but held all my beauty must-haves.
Packing Cubes + Hair Tools Travel Bag (Amazon finds) — made organizing outfits and beauty tools so easy.
These little lifesavers kept me organized and stress-free while bouncing from show to show. Click Here To Shop.
Final Thoughts
NYC was a blur of laughter, luxury, and late-night eats — and honestly, I’d do it all again tomorrow. Fashion week is as much about the moments in between as it is about the runway, and this year reminded me why I love the mix of glam and grit that only New York can bring.
Until next time,
xoxo,
