Street Style New York Fashion Week

I spent a good part of fashion week documenting the amazing street style around Lincoln Center on my Instagram. I just couldn't get over the creativity and the shoes (my God the shoes!). It was super fun to be on the other end of a lens. You may not know it but I'm a little self conscious when getting my photo taken. I don't know whether to smile, smize of do my fierce "i'm that b*tch" face. It can all be really....confusing. So I love when I encounter the photographers shooting street style who tell me exactly how to pose, where to stand and whether to smile or not lol. It definitely takes the pressure off. This by far was one of the best moments of Sunday afternoon. I finally got the courage to ask June Ambrose for a photo! If you missed some of my pics here's a quick Insta-Recap Below.

Epic Alexander Wang Sandals that promply sold out when I wanted to buy them last season.

 

Make sure the check out more behind the scenes New York Fashion Week information HERE where I talk about what really goes down at Lincoln Center and how it's a major goal to get photographed at Lincoln Center.

GET THE LOOK

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret...I never pay full price for anything. This blog aint called Fashion Steele NYC for nothing! I have a hefty obsession with Alexander Wang and them wangs aren't cheap full price. Here's my secret...for discounted designer shoes check out these sites: shoescribe.com, theoutnet.com, barneyswarehouse.com, yoox.com

The majority of my shoes are ordered from these sites from 40-80% off. Yes...80%. They carry all designers and I mean all and some you have never heard off. I just saw some Gucci's for less than $100 on yoox.com. I mean seriously its shoe heaven.

The same sites or at least the last 3 offer designer clothing as well for next to nothing. It is possible to rock designers without being filthy rich. I am neither filthy or rich. lol. I got these wangs for 60% off and these Phillip Lim Culottes (Yes culottes are a thing now lol) I got for $40 at Century 21. DO NOT SLEEP ON CENTURY 21 in NYC. If you live here or are planning to visit it is A MUST! Go early on a weekday (Tue/Wed/Thurs) right when they open and you will have the place to yourself for at least 2 hours. It will be quiet and orderly. Anytime after that and you can fagetteabouit. I got these Gianvito Rossi sandals last year from Century 21 for a mere $120. Yes they were on sale and I saved $500.

If you are a die hard thrifter check out Ebay, Etsy and my Thrift and the City ebook. for shopping online I also have the POSHMARK app. I scored this Vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Sac Seau bag that I've been wanting for 2 years on POSHMARK and haggled the price down to $200. Yes....I am that good.

Anywho just wanted to bless yall with some shopping knowledge but im sure if you shop like I do...you already know. Now...im off to soak my feet cause im dying after walking around in these wangs all day. Make sure to check out all the New York Fashion Week Streetstyle on my Instagram and HERE for all the behind the scenes on the shows (including my photo bomb of June Ambrose' Instagram lol)

Make sure to check out my FASHION WEEK link for all the happens from Day 1 (with celeb photos from front row as well as video of all shows I attended). I punked out when meeting one of my favorite stylist, I almost died in a cab with Claire from Fashion Bomb and I had a good discussion with blogger bud Nigel about what brands/PR companies are eager and not so eager to let bloggers into their shows.

as always keep up with me on INSTAGRAM.
