That's right! ChiTown Fashionista is headed to New York Fashion Week (September 8-15)!

While there, I will be attending the Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) Conference* and a few runway shows. Unfortunately, I will only be in NYC for the first half of the week.  But you can rest assure that I will provide as much coverage and as many photos as possible.  Since this is my first time in New York *gasp*, I will also sneak in some shopping. As usual, I'll keep you posted on my findings.

Gabriel will be at fashion week the entire time! He has won an internship with FIJI Water and will be behind the scenes at many of the major shows. He will also be styled for the entire week by Topman. I'm sure we'll all be waiting anxiously to hear about his experience. Let's congratulate him on this amazing opportunity!

We will be tweeting like crazy. So, follow us on Twitter at @shoelovadotcom and @mistertyler for real-time updates.

ChiTown Fashionista in NYC...this is going to be #EPIC!
