    Fashion Week is over now, but for my final Fashion Week post, I wanted to show you what was inside the goodie bags. Every designer, if you sit in the front two rows or so, gives out a goodie bag. Each night, I'd come home, deposit the bags on the floor and sort through the contents. This is a port ... More >>
