Time-Saving Tips

Mia divulges her tips for surviving fashion week.
Fashion week has officially begun, and while covering it is one of the most exciting parts of my job, it’s also the most exhausting. Luckily, I have a few tricks to keep myself energized, organized, and ready for anything LGFW can throw at me. (No caffeine required.)
- Plan Ahead: The biggest time waster in my morning is figuring out what to wear, so I’ve picked out five outfits for each day (and can sleep an extra few minutes since I won’t be pacing in front of my closet).
- Style Savers: For an easy ‘do, I’ll tie my hair in a bun and sleep on it. In the morning, I’ve got loose wavy locks that took no time at all. And, of course, there’s always dry shampoo, which is a life saver.
- Health Kick: I don’t drink coffee (though I definitely see the appeal some days). To keep my energy up for the week, I get lots of sleep in the week leading up to LGFW, drink lots of water, and eat well (and pack snacks!). It’s an obvious tip, but it makes a world of difference.
- Bag of Tricks: Because you never know where a day at the tents will take you, I opt for a big bag that can hold everything from makeup to notebooks, a camera, and even a pair of flats.
