New York New York - part 2




Which hairstyle should you have in New York City for fashion week? What about  booking an appointment at the Dry Bar in the morning - like a true New Yorker-  and ask the stylist for some lovely retro curls? It will be an easy and quick blowout and you’ll be looking perfect all day. It’s also totally inexpensive and they'll offer you tea/coffee and cookies, while on the screen they'll show you a movie (most likely an episode from "Sex and the City").

For the evening, add more glamour and pair the hairstyle with red-wine lipstick, like these actresses in the photo below.




During the day, to be comfortable and stylish you should wear denim: I absolutely love the mid rise super skinny Hudson and the skinny stretchable J-Brand. They both feel like a pajamas and yet they look so great!



For the guys, I don’t think there is a brand that can beat Diesel: they can honestly make you look so trendy and cool. Pick the right cut for your body shape: Diesel have all sorts of cuts and styles and you will surely be able to find the pair that fits you best.


Don’t underestimate the power of the shoes guys: you can have some fun and pick one of those colorful Paul Smith. New York - during fashion week in particular - looks pretty creative, so enjoy wearing what makes you feel happy and confident!


And now that you are ready for the big Apple, let me give you some little tips: pamper yourself with a good breakfast at the Sofitel (ask for the basket of croissants and pains of chocolat). Do go for afternoon tea with the girls at the Ritz and if the day is nice, walk in central Park to enjoy some fresh air and quiet time. 
If you are planning to do some shopping, do it in style at Barneys and stop at the Espresso Bar upstairs. Have fun with the big screen on your table, like my friend Liana in this photo: she ordered a macchiato first and then a pair of heels (from the same screen) while she was enjoying her coffee!
