As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
These past few days it really started to feel like Fall and I was quick to pull out some of the pieces that I’d been saving for the occasion. I wore this plaid mini and turtleneck situation on Friday to hear a talk at the AOL studios with legendary designer (and original #girlboss) Diane Von Furstenberg.

Day 1 of NYFW was grey. And so I dressed the part. Actually, I picked out my outfits a few days in advance and rain or shine I would have been in this monochrome, slightly borrowed from the boys look.

The first time I attended NYFW it was held at Bryant Park – I was 20 years old, interning for designer Nanette Lepore and dressing models backstage. Many years later, a few venues and about a hundred blisters later.. I like to think I’ve learned a thing or two about how to get through this wild week in one piece. These days I’m lucky enough to be reporting from backstage rather than frantically dressing girls a foot taller than me – but no matter what situation I find myself in I’ve narrowed a list of things that will help me survive it in style.

I’ve been slowly crafting a wardrobe of well-loved ‘modern classics’ and this denim jacket definitely makes the grade. I almost can’t think of an outfit or accessory it wouldn’t match with, so consider this the first of many…

This weekend marked the end of Summer and also, the end of our laze about, do whatever we want weekends. For awhile at least. The next 6 weeks are going to be busy in The Steele Maiden world (NYFW kicks off this week and our trip to Europe will be here before I know it) – so I took the chance to really relax these past 4 days.
