Bold leopard prints at Kate Spade.

Dressing for New York Fashion Week can be a stressful thing, throw a blizzard into the mix and it’s a true fashion test to dress accordingly. I found myself layering cashmere sweaters, wearing multiple jackets and relying on a hat I packed last minute—it’s really amazing how much warmer you are with something on your noggin. To cap off my NYFW this season I’ll leave you with three things that caught my attention: leopard and cheetah prints (get some!), red in bold ways and subtle ways, and last but not least, oversized knits (à la Phillip Lim). Here are some highlights from my 5-day whirlwind in New York.

Catching up with my pal Caroline.

 My most favorite find while at NYFW, cheetah print flats and heels at Jenni Kayne—top of the Could I Have That list right now!

 Crazy about this dress paired with red lips at Jenni Kayne.

 A hooded jacket at Herve Leger, something I could have definitely used this week.

And then came Nemo.
