Killing Me Softly: New York Fashion Week Shoes That Hurt So Good

Just making a quick spit stop during New York Fashion Week to bring you some House Of Jeffers goodness! 

Yesterday, I attended Day One of LuckyFABB in New York, held at the beautiful Times Square Building. And yes, I took lots of snaps to share with you... Check back MONDAY for my official LuckyFABB recap, which will be chock full of highlights and my favorite moments from the event!

When it comes to Fashion Week, it's a prerequisite that you'll probably, and unknowingly,  sacrifice your  health during that time... and your feet usually take the worst beating.

If you're like me, and the other 900 fashion bloggers traipsing around NYC right now, you probably come equipped with killer shoes for show, and a pair practical shoes that you have no shame whatsoever changing in front of total strangers right after leaving the stylishly hip event you attended.

I wore these Steven Madden Girl Hopee pumps to LuckyFABB. Love em like woah, 

but after 10 hours in em, flip flops it was.

So, if you're gunna suffer for fashion, might as well make it hurt so good.

Here's my pick for practical and "Hot damn!" shoes you should invest in for New York Fashion Week.

Candy Striper

What I'm Wearing:

Red Luxetouch Piped Tee - Banana Republic (buy it here)

Striped BDG Cropped Skinny Jean - Urban Outfitters (similar style here)

Dany Platforms - Jessica Simpson (buy em here!)

Black Satchel - Zara

Silver Braided Cuff - Macys

I know everyone wants to jump on the Fall bandwagon, but I'm not letting go of summer anytime soon. Sure, I might break out jeans on an occasion now that it's not 100 degrees in New Jersey every day... but I just love my summer wardrobe.

Looking back on what was in my closet last summer, and what I've built up this year, I can say that my where I spend my money in terms of clothing has absolutely changed. I really do take time to think over my purchases before checking out... Less impulse buying, more long term investment. Fashion broker, perhaps?

Then again, when you find striped pink jeans for $9 at Urban Outfitters, there really isn't much to think about. Case in point - these cropped skinnies that were originally $58 smackers. Plus, you're gunna gasp out loud when you hear I shopped at Banana Republic's Outlet, where I paid about $21 for this red tee. So comfy. Should have stocked up for Fall... or Summer. Whichever comes first.

Oh, and see you at LuckyFABB, soon!

My beaded friendship bracelet is from Antigua, which I bought on my honeymoon!
