"PinterestFacebookMy view from the nosebleeds. Gotta love the zoom lens!\nAs I&amp;#39;m sure you know, this week is New York Fashion week. I&amp;#39;ve never been to a Bryant Park fashion show (I&amp;#39;ve worked for magazines for seven years, but on the lifestyle side), so I was thrilled to be invited to the Tracy Reese show this week. I have to admit, I was a little nervous (what would I wear??) but really excited (who would I see??). I brought my camera, my dears, and here&amp;#39;s the craziness that ensued.....\nThat morning, I woke up early. After all, I had to comb my closet for something appropriate. I tried on a bunch of dresses (my favorite white vintage dress had a hummus stain on it, arg!) and finally settled on a navy Theory dress with red shoes. After my boyfriend told me twenty times that I looked fine, I took a deep breath and headed out the door. (I kept asking myself, Why am I so nervous? I blamed it on one too many episodes of Project Runway, plus a little Devil Wears Prada...)\nPinterestFacebookSo I hopped on my trusty bike and rode up to Bryant Park. From down the block, I could see the huge white tents and crowds of tourists surrounding the steps into the shows. I had brought my boyfriend&amp;#39;s giant camera and took some street-style shots. Here are some of the beauties around me!\nPinterestFacebookI love her belt, shoes -- and gorgeous hair.\nPinterestFacebookThis cutie&amp;#39;s silk flower necklace was amazing.\nPinterestFacebookIf you like this fiery redhead&amp;#39;s look from the front....\nPinterestFacebook...just look at the flower in her hair!\nPinterestFacebookWhat a pretty pop of yellow.\nPinterestFacebookThese two looked like flower fairies...\nPinterestFacebookI adored her 1920&amp;#39;s flapper style -- complete with pearls and a feather fascinator!\nPinterestFacebookAnd, of course, there were a few, um, more wild styles...\nPinterestFacebook...As Tim Gunn would say, &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s a lotta look.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookI spotted J. Alexander, the coach and judge from America&amp;#39;s Next Top Model. What a hilarious dude!\nPinterestFacebookThe show opened with beautiful fairy lights hanging from the ceiling and amazing music that made you feel blissed out...\nPinterestFacebookAs soon as the models hit the runway...\nPinterestFacebook...the huge section of photographers went nutty!\nPinterestFacebookIf you&amp;#39;re super fancy (think: Anna Wintour, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Klum), you get an assigned seat in the first or second row. I spotted our very own Tracey Lomrantz (bottom left) inches from the runway.\nPinterestFacebookMeanwhile, I was way up in the serious nose-bleeds -- on the top row of the bleachers, in the standing-only section. This barrette was my view, unless I stood on tiptoe -- but it&amp;#39;s still pretty, right? (Seriously, everything is pretty at New York Fashion Week.)\nPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookI loved seeing the gorgeous dresses, but it was even more fun to watch the expressions of the fashion editors. Fashion can be judgy!\nOverall the show was really fun, and I loved Tracy Reese&amp;#39;s flowing, bejeweled dresses, which she described as &amp;quot;Spring Awakening,&amp;quot; but I was secretly glad to bike home, change into shorts and watch Will &amp;amp; Grace on my sofa. Fashion week is thrilling, but I&amp;#39;ll leave it to the pros!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
