"In a mere 48 hours, my world will be turned into a non-stop parade of champagne, stilettos, parties, models, taxis, canapes, endless Twitter updates of Kanye West&amp;#x27;s whereabouts (you better start following me now!), and of course, CLOTHES. Yes dolls, it&amp;#x27;s New York fashion week once again. Starting on Thursday morning, this town will be taken over by beautiful people (and um, girls like me who write about them). I&amp;#x27;m looking forward to my twice-yearly dose of major fabulousness, and here&amp;#x27;s what&amp;#x27;s topping my list: 1. The runway return of Irina Lazareanu. The brooding beauty with one of the most distinct walks in the biz (New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn once said she &amp;quot;walks as if she&amp;#x27;s swinging two frying pans&amp;quot;) will take to the runway once again after a little hiatus--and she&amp;#x27;s got a chic new crop, to boot. 2. And a bevy of beautiful new faces. Check out Refinery 29&amp;#x27;s list of 10 models to watch this season--I think I&amp;#x27;m already in love with R&amp;#x27;el Dade! 3. Fashion&amp;#x27;s Night Out. 500 stores across the city getting people excited about shopping--what could be more fun? Justin Timberlake will drop into Saks Fifth Avenue, Miss J from ANTM is giving runway lessons at H&amp;amp;M, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will tend bar at Barneys, and you have a chance to design your own Chanel handbag. It&amp;#x27;s happening city-wide this Thursday night, and you better believe we will be covering it all over our Twitter feed!

We&amp;#x27;ve kinda been freaking out around here ever since it was announced that Anna Sui was designing a Gossip Girl-inspired collection for our favorite cheap chic store. And now we lucky New Yorkers can get our hands on the collection early, thanks to a pop-up shop that&amp;#x27;ll be open at 54 Crosby Street all weekend! 5. License to over-caffeinate. I like to think of that intense espresso-induced buzz I experience throughout the week as fuel for my fashion fire. Besides, there&amp;#x27;s no better place than Starbucks on 42nd and 6th for spotting models off duty! 6. Jason Wu&amp;#x27;s new jewelry line. The first lady fave has teamed up with Atelier Swarovski on a line of baubles that will debut during his spring 2010 presentation at the St. Regis hotel. We all know how Mrs. O loves a statement necklace, so I say it&amp;#x27;s only a matter of weeks before we spot her in one of the new pieces... 7. Lady Gaga performing at the Marc Jacobs after party. At past MJ parties, I&amp;#x27;ve eaten BBQ ribs and rodeoed with midgets, grooved the night away on a rotating dance floor dressed in gold body paint, and heard Kanye West give a private concert to some of the biggest names in the art world. This season, a lucky few attendees will hear &amp;quot;Disco Stick&amp;quot; from the queen of the wacky wardrobe herself, Lady Gaga. 8. Falling models, nipple slips, and a slew of other OMG moments. Remember all of the cringe-worthy, laugh out loud funny, oh-no-she-didn&amp;#x27;t moments we brought you last fashion week? We&amp;#x27;ve got a whole lot more of that coming your way. I can&amp;#x27;t wait to see which celeb overexposes herself, what couples we catch canoodling at an after party, and who makes the biggest splash with their runway antics. So dolls, those are the 8 things I&amp;#x27;m most excited about this fashion week--how about you?
