"Suits actress Meghan Markle recently attended her first Fashion Week ever and documented her entire journey in this exclusive Instagram diary. Read on for part two of the insider&amp;#x27;s experience. Monday, September 9 10:00 A.M.: Sleep in and have brunch at one of my favorite spots, The Smile. Scrambled eggs, multigrain toast, and jam starts the day. 12:00 P.M.: Lunch with my agent at Peels to discuss film opportunities for the hiatus. 2:00 P.M.: Fitting for Vanity Fair&amp;#x27;s International Best-Dressed List party. The Outnet was generous enough to lend me a Giambattista Valli skirt, DVF top, and Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps. Later at the party, Jay Manuel tells me he loves my outfit. I&amp;#x27;m blushing. 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M: Arrive at VF IBDL party and bump into these guys (you may recognize them from Revenge). I can&amp;#x27;t help but take the requisite photo-booth pictures with my partner-in-crime, Lindsay. 9:00 P.M.: Dinner at ABC Kitchen, where the executive chef, Dan Kluger, and his team, turn out the most beautiful meal I&amp;#x27;ve had in ages. They also remember that I had my birthday since the last time I was in and send out a belated birthday cake for me. Thanks, Dan! Tuesday, September 10 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M.: Glam for the Tory Burch show while enjoying coffee and fruit salad from room service. 8:20 A.M.: In the car on the way to the show. I went for a bold lip to complement my all-black Tory Burch ensemble. 8:45 A.M.: Bill Cunningham takes a picture of me as I&amp;#x27;m walking in. My publicist and I freak out! He&amp;#x27;s as adorable as he is a New York City institution. 9:00 A.M.: Rashida Jones and Emmy Rossum round out the actresses at the show, but my dear friend Joe Zee has me seated next to him so we can catch up. 10:00 A.M.: Chat with Tory backstage, who is undeniably one of the kindest women. It gets really hectic backstage at the shows, and she was being pulled in many directions, but when our conversation was interrupted, she squeezed my hand and whispered, &amp;quot;Sorry.&amp;quot; It seems so minute, but in the fleeting moments of feeling overwhelmed, those classy and thoughtful little gestures of kindness mean so much. It was a pleasure to meet her. 11:30 A.M.: Grab a peach from the local farmers&amp;#x27; market and some chia-seed pudding to tide me over. 12:00 P.M.: After changing at the hotel, I treat myself to a platza at the Russian &amp;amp; Turkish Bath House. I&amp;#x27;m using the term &amp;quot;treat&amp;quot; loosely, as having a heavyset Russian man beat you with wet oak leaves in a sauna that reaches over 100 degrees is not exactly pleasure at the moment, but afterward you feel like heaven. 2:00 P.M.: Pick up falafel from Taim, my favorite lunch spot when I&amp;#x27;m in the city, and head back to my room to enjoy my pita, hummus, falafel, and beet salad with tabbouleh. 4:30 P.M.: Typically designers lend three or four options for you to wear when you&amp;#x27;re a guest. The team from Marchesa picks up the options I am not going to wear and drops off a clutch for the show tomorrow. 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.: Glam for the Novac Djokovic Foundation dinner. Guests in attendance include Ricky Gervais, Tommy Hillfiger, Donna Karan, and Harvey Weinstein. 8:30 P.M.: Step and repeat for the event in a Temperley London dress I fawned over. My fashion guru, Tuke, and the gals from theoutnet.com styled me for the night. I felt like a princess with old-Hollywood waves in my hair, smoky eyes, and such a beautiful dress. 10:00 P.M.: Lindsay and I drink wine and unwind in my hotel room. There&amp;#x27;s honestly nothing like sharing all of this with my best friend. Wednesday, September 11 8:00 A.M: Glam for the day with Jackie from Drybar. 10:00 A.M: Arrive at Cantor Fitzgerald Charity Day for Many Hopes, an organization that educates and empowers young girls in Kenya who are impoverished, orphaned, and affected by abuse. The organization enables them to make better lives for themselves and their communities. 10:15 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.: I am on the trading room floor along with Billy Crystal, Julianne Moore, and other celebs! Here I am making calls and deals, where a percentage of the proceeds go to Many Hopes. The employees of Cantor Fitzgerald waive being paid for the day, which is also pretty amazing. This is an incredible and humbling start to the day, as we honor and remember those lost on 9/11 and raise money for causes close to our hearts. 12:00 P.M.: Quick change for the Rachel Zoe show. I arrive to find that my seat is taken by someone&amp;#x27;s (ahem, unconfirmed) guest. No big deal, though. I sit across the runway in the front row and watch the most stellar and wearable collection go by. I love these pieces! 1:30 P.M.: With my buddy Joe Zee I meet Rachel Zoe and her lovely son. This woman is on another level of good. She&amp;#x27;s so real, refreshing, and talented. Check out this picture. There&amp;#x27;s no one I would rather be photo bombed by than Skylar! 2:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M.: Glam for the Marchesa show. I opt for a classic black knit dress from their line with black patent Louboutin pumps. 4:40 P.M.: Arrive at the New York Public Library for the Marchesa show. The space is transformed with white carpets on the ground, and the looks are romantic, sexy, and enviable. Courtney Love runs in a little after the show begins and squeezes in the seat next to Sheryl Crow. My jaw drops when I see how gorgeous Molly Sims and Petra Nemcova are. A bottle of Marchesa fragrance is on each seat&amp;amp;#8212;I&amp;#x27;m wearing it as I type this. I feel like a lady. 5:20 P.M.: I say hi to my friend Edward Chapman and meet his sister, Georgina, to congratulate her on her beautiful collection. 7:00 P.M.: Wash my face and get ready to meet up with two of my girlfriends, Jessica Stam and Dianna Agron, for oysters, burgers and vino at Minetta Tavern. Girl talk and feasting ensues. I cannot think of a better end to a full Fashion Week! What do you think of my first Fashion Week? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
