New York Fashion Week Essentials!

joyGreat news: I am thrilled to be working with Ouidad Hair (aka the curly hair experts) for New York Fashion Week as their Curl Ambassador! In this role, I’ll be creating fun content, Instagramming cool, curly gals and tweeting live from the shows! I can’t believe fashion week is just around the corner (two days away – September 5, to be exact!). I’ve been attending shows for over 5 years for my work as a stylist, fashion blogger and writer and each season it’s all about having the right essentials on hand for the fun-filled, fast-paced week. Here are my current favorites!!

MJ’s first beauty line hit Sephora shelves just in time for fashion week. I love this “Boom Boom” shade. I’m obsessed with pink lips and how can you not fall in love with the name?!

2. Ouidad Mongongo Oil Hair Treatment, $58

A couple of sprays of this high-powered oil is enough to fully revive my thirsty curls. And the smell? Divine.

This beautifully packaged polish adds a juicy hue that stands out in street style shots.

I love the scent plus it’s super moisturizing.

When you’re running from show to show in heels, cute flat sandals give your feet a much needed break.

Trying new blush shades is one of my favorite things to do! This deep wine hue will look great with a nude lip. 

Black eyeliner is one of my all-time beauty staples. I come alive with a cat eye.

This stylish carryall holds everything from an iPad to your flats. Plus, cobalt blue is my favorite color!

In the mornings, a bit of this product quickly styles and moisturizes my natural hair. It’s magical!

These heels have everything I love in a shoe: standout color, snakeskin print and an ankle strap! 

 *Stay tuned this week for my exclusive fashion week diary, Instagrams of my fave NYFW curly gals and tweets from the shows! #joyadaezeouidadnyfw
