Daily Diary: NY Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week with Diet Pepsi – Day 3

I woke up this morning ready to go!

Diet Pepsi invited me to NYC for the last 2 days to work as a Style Correspondent right from the mecca of Fashion Week… under the tents!  Honestly… this was a dream come true for me.  Fashion has always been fun for me. It’s been a way to express my personality. It’s been a way for me to “grow” and evolve. Fashion just adds that flair to my life that I absolutely love.

So truly, when Diet Pepsi had me come with them to NY Fashion Week, it just made total sense for me. The FUN. The FIZZ. The FLAIR.  It’s all there in fashion and all there in Diet Pepsi.

Ahhh… so getting back to TODAY! 🙂

I couldn’t wait to hit the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tents and see what Jill Stuart was going to be gracing down the runway.  She’s one of my FAVE designer’s and I just think that her clothing is gorgeous.

As soon as I got there, I was able to head backstage with the film crew to grab an interview with Jill Stuart (herself!), along with any celebs hanging out back there.

Guess who I happened to come across?

Kelly Bensimon!

She was very sweet and very nice to take some time to chat! She even asked to hold the Diet Pepsi! 🙂

And then I got to dish with Jill Stuart about her collection! She said she was inspired by old-Hollywood! I asked her what was one item every mom needed. She said a black tuxedo suit, which she just showcased down the runway today! It was gorgeous! As soon as I get a pick I will post!

But seriously… how gorgeous is Jill Stuart?

After Jill Stuart I got to head to the Diet Pepsi Lounge and make Skinny Coconut Coolers, Diet Pepsi’s Signature Cocktail at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week with Chief Mixologist Adam Wilson!

And then… unfortunately it was a WRAP. I didn’t want the events to end! I had such an amazing, amazing, amazing day!!

Here’s a hint: I had to find some fashion flair for less!
