New York Fashion Week Recap Part II

Fashion Week is a lot of work with very little play, I did manage to squeeze in some fun time at the booths, shows, and backstage.

Some of my colleagues and I working very very hard 


I met some really great people and amazing photographers that kept me sane 


One of the photographers passed out after a long day of shooting

During one of my breaks I signed up for a free hair styling session at the TRESemme booth 

I was so grateful to have discovered this, my hair was looking un-fantastic that day


I had my hair done by celebrity hair stylist Marco Guglielmino who was really personable and informative. I asked for soft big curls and he did it in less than 20 mins! In case you're wondering which hot iron he was using, its the 1" Hot Tools curler. Marco has his own private salon located in Soho, New York, have a look at his site MarcoNYC.com for more info


I was really happy with how my hair turned out :) not sure why my co-worker looks petrified


Chambord had a chocolate fountain in their booth!


Being a chocoholic I was all over this one, you can pick between marshmallows and pretzels to enjoy your chocolate with


mmmmmmhhhhh delishhh choc0late!

The Tent within the tents

The Tadashi Shoji show about to start

looks like a lot of fun/work! :)
but OMG tresemme dry shampoo! I've got to try it! Let us know if you do. I think it's pretty cool that companies are putting out Dry shampoos now (that are affordable). I do like my batiste dry shampoo though ($8). :)
