The Fashion Week Freeze

By: Ayana Bryant-Weekes



New York Fashion Week is testing the fashion sense of Fashion’s most stylish people with bone chilling winter weather during the busiest time in fashion! Here are some answers to the question: How to survive the Fashion Week Freeze?!

The Vogue Paris Fashion Blog had this to say about the cold during NYFW “Winteris not joking here in New York!! in her sleek black Shearling coat and bulky scarf. 


BODY HEAT! Check out these Off Duty Models keeping it cute AND WARM during the freeze of Fashion week 15!! To stay warm while keeping your style in tact in this frigid weather, GET YOUR GIRLS! HUDDLE UP! & SAY CHEESE!

You wouldn’t dare leave your house without a warm hat on your head and neither would this NYFW attendee who made sure they were covered!

 Dont let the Sunshine fool you! Even though it didn’t snow the polar air still hit so hard you could cry! Prevent winter tears like this NYFW attendee who won’t be crying over cold temps!

Sometimes a scarf just doesn’t cut it! Take warmth from the neck up to a new level with a fur sash like Vanessa Hong’s @thehautepursuit . No hung heads this way!

 Protect your fly from winter residue with a wrap cape like this vintage Moroccan cape from Marrakech! Don’t let salt and water stains catch you slipping! 



Bundle or Brave? Some may sit pretty in this cold with Rihanna’s “Winter is NO match for me!” attitude and dare to brave the chilling temps still hot enough bare a little skin, but I am all here for Cassie giving us “Winter, No Thank you!” front row at NYFW, bundled warm & UNBOTHERED by the cold!



YES! It’s THAT cold! NYFW is bringing out some ice cold winter fashions because we’re all just trying to be stylish without freezing! Kelly Rowland and Editor in Chief of Lucky Magazine, Eva Chen, wore what we’ve all been thinking – it’s actually cold enough for Double Coats!

Then, when it gets closer to warm weather and our prayers of Spring have FINALLY been answerd, Comfy Sweatshirt it is! But, nothing says hoping for spring days more like Chunky Sweaters !! Hurry Spring!!!!!

Winter Essentials ~ Illustrious Liz

We've made it halfway through winter 2015 and THANK GOD!!  It has been a mild winter here in Michigan so far HOWEVER, we still have about 7 more weeks to go and I have my fingers crossed that the weather will continue to be above average.  Last year it felt like winter lasted forever and my winter essentials consisted of a turtleneck, leggings, long sweater, and snow boots. Here are my Winter Essentials for this year:

Shea Butter to moisturize my skin 
Petroleum Jelly- for my lips and skin

Pom Pom Hat- to keep my head & ears warm

Fingerless Mittens- to keep my hands warm, but keep my fingers free for my phone

Black Turtleneck- to wear alone with a bottom or to layer with

Sweaters- I love to simply throw on unique, chunky sweaters and go

Statement Necklace- looks great with blouses, dresses, and sweaters

Tights- I wear black tights just about everyday 

Boots-  these boots are perfect because they have a little heel and they fit my calves.

What are your Winter Essentials?
