How fleeting is Fashion Week? It only just ended last week in New York, and already has made its way across the globe to London and now Milan. It's exhausting to think about really... imagine being an editor and having to cover every show! And while it might be a dream for some, at the end of the day Micol and I were relieved to be able to take fashion week on at our own pace. Though it was fun to dress up and join in on the excitement at the tents and after parties, we were equally happy sharing a bottle of wine and a platter of oysters and watching the fashion set walk by.

That's not to say we didn't take advantage of the opportunities we had to head out, discover new talent, and have a blast! Below is a guide to our mini NYFW photo diary above...
