J Mendel Spring Summer 11

With Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week just around the corner, it's time to reflect on survival techniques that can make or break this marathon fash-fest for the lowly blogger. Here are 5 fool proof tips to get your through the day.

1. Heel height - if it's a short day knock yourself out and go extreme - it's a high fashion event baby - when else are you going to have the chance to rock your style with the best of them. If, however, you're on a long haul of back to back shows you might want to consider a feet friendly brogue.

2. Get tech ready - consider the lightest techie gadgets in your armoury and juice them up - carry chargers, and be ready to wrestle for a charge spot at the Lincoln Centre media pit.

3. If you're there to blog hunker down and get on with the job - don't be swept up by the 'paps' who are looking for the street style shot of the day - you're only canon fodder to them. Much better to spot some well dressed attendees yourself, take your own shots and use them later in a post.

4. Scope out the rest rooms at Avery Fischer Hall - much more refined than the port-a-potties that are flown in  and appended to the side of the Lincoln Centre.

5. Snag as much free water as you can - it's a war out there, you need to be hydrated to the hilt in order to go the distance in those lines to get into the shows.

PLEASE keep all discussions relevant to fashion, textiles, beauty products, or jewelry.
