We all hustle when its really time for the shows to begin. With Street style photographers, bloggers and editors hovering around we all want to play the part. I didn’t have a guide book telling me what to do, so here’s what I have come up with, from my fashion week frenzy experience.
1) What to wear? Firstly before anything starts mark your calendars for the looks you need to wear for the next 6 days. This is the most productive thing you will probably do to save time. Because busy people don't ponder looking at their wardrobes, they know what to wear! Always! Do your shopping a month in advance. I usually look out for one statement piece a day (a coat, pants, blouse or shoes) and pair it with classics.
Here's a little fashion inspiration for the insiders
2) Coffee! You definitely need to be tanked up on caffeine and having an on-the-go coffee cup can be used as the matching accessory to keep you company. There are some amazing versions you need to get a hold off now!

3) Carry your ipad! I know you're proud of your iPhone 6 and 6+ but lets get serious if you're for real you know the importance of a notebook or more like the usual big size tablet, an iPad or a macbook to make those notes and do the real time interviewing. Its not cool to not have your SLR on you if you really want to capture the right moment. Be bold and sling the camera it works as the perfect accessory too.
4) The fashion week Bag. It’s really okay for a poser to walk with an insignificantly small bag but NOT for someone who is serious about covering the fashion week. Buy the latest oversized tote, the bigger the better. It all comes with sizeable meaning. Big space means a big you who is resourceful with all the things you need at one place. (Including those high heals for the after hours)
5) The Coat/Jacket! An over sized jacket to just throw over your chic ensemble is an absolute must. They have to keep the temp. cool at the show, and also because the forecast for March is not so warm. Cover your shoulders up with something plain, simple and classic. And the more of these you have the more you need to change them everyday.
6) The comfy trainers. And oh boy! Do I recommend keeping your trainers on stand by? Yes I do. Fashion week can be severely taxing in heals all day. And also because it is comfortably desirable to be spotted in a pair of Stan Smith’s or neon Nikes.
7) Energy Fluids. Keep Hydrating yourself with a squeezy full off your favourite juice. This will only help you through the day right upto the time of that after party. Because you need the energy for that lousy mid day show after lunch. It does get really tiring.

8) Make-up pouch. Carry a small make up pouch with your quickly ‘fix me’ essentials. You do need this to look super fly for that after party. A quick touch-up goes a long way!
