Last week I had the most dreamy experience representing TRESemmé — the official haircare sponsor of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week — at New York Fashion Week. It was truly a whirlwind of excitement, I felt like a little girl wearing her mother’s heels the entire week. What an incredible honor to be part of it all and TRESemmé treated me like a princess. They literally gave me the VIP treatment and being backstage with so much talent was unreal. The commotion, the creativity, the beauty — it was all so unbelievable. Because I have so much I want to share, from outfit photos to hairstyle tutorials and backstage experiences, I’ll be spreading things out just a bit. For right now, here’s the first dress I wore to the BCBG and Marissa Webb Show. I’m in love with the delicate floral pattern and pastel colors in this dress. It also fit the bill on being conservatively modest so it was a no brainer for me!

The Lincoln Center was filled with photographers and beautiful people wearing beautiful dresses. I could have sat in the center all day with some popcorn and stalker glasses just watching the culture and personalities from everyone who came and went. It was really cool though to be all dressed up and fancy because photographers would just flock to you. They’d follow you around in hoards and make you feel like a celebrity. Tomorrow I’ll show you what happened backstage at the Marissa Webb Show and then I’ll make sure you get some amazing hairstyle tutorials — because duh — it’s TRESemmé. You simply can’t go four days at #NYFW without learning more than a few amazing things from their talented hairstylists!

Abby you are such a beautiful woman! That dress is perfect for your complexion. Sounds like a dream come true to be back stage at New York fashion week! Wow!, way to go girl. I love your braids and makeup tips etc. thanks for all you’ve done.
Your makeup/skin looks flawless! Any tips or secrets of what you used on your face?
Thanks Heather! Actually yes, I use the Temptu Air Brush machine and I absolutely swear buy it!
Your skin/makeup looks flawless. may I ask what foundation or face products you were wearing?
I’m using the temptu airbrush. It’s literally my favorite beauty tool ever!
Gorgeous! Is your hair that long already? Looks great!
The outfit is adorable, but doesn’t seem the most practical price wise. I’d really love to see more outfits that look nice like that don’t cost $900 head to toe. I know it can be done 🙂
What a great way to wear the 5-strand dutch braid! I just learned to do it yesterday and I’m definitely going to try it in the way you showed today 🙂 Also, you look so pretty and happy 🙂
This dress is absolutely stunning! The soft pastels look beautiful on you(:
