Hi! It’s Naomi back with more exciting backstage fun from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week! In case you missed my first blog I was lucky enough to travel to Fashion Week in New York and hang with some of QVC’s most amazing beauty vendors last week and had to share some of the excitement with you!

My first day in the city was a whirlwind, and as soon as I got out of the cab at Lincoln Center I ran to meet up with my friend Sarah Potempa.  She invited me to join her at the Richard Chai fashion show at Lincoln Center and I couldn’t have been more excited for my first show of the week. 

Of course I arrived with beachy waves thanks to my BEACHWAVER.  These were done around 6am that morning and I love how they still look pretty good even after hours of travel!

One of the highlights of the show was bumping into Eva Chen, the newly-minted Editor-in-Chief of Lucky, one of our favorite magazines!

Ironically, Eva came up to me as we were taking photos of the Jonas Brothers, who were sitting from row at the show.  She wanted to make sure she knew what all the excitement was about! They were surrounded by photographers! She also recognized Sarah, who had done her hair for a photo shoot recently.

On Friday night, Sarah swung by our live remote broadcast in Bryant Park and joined Courtney Cason on air for more fun. Hope you were able to tune in!

Hi girls!

On Saturday night, I met up with Sarah’s team again backstage at Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show!  Sarah’s team styled the models with beachy waves for the show, and theme of the event was “empowering women inspiring change.” It was so fun to be backstage and chat with the ladies in the show, especially because most of them were not professional models and they were all so genuinely excited and couldn’t stop raving about their hair!  All of the moms loved the BEACHWAVER so much!  As someone who personally uses it at least a few times a week, I was so happy to walk around and share how it has literally changed my life. It’s hands down one of the best beauty products I’ve ever discovered at the Q!

On my last day at Fashion Week, Courtney and I joined Sarah and her teammate Marisa at the Dennis Basso show!

Sarah & Marisa came to my hotel before the Dennis Basso show and I was lucky enough to have Sarah create this incredible fishtail in my hair. I loved it so much I didn’t want to take it out!

Here we are after the show. Seeing Dennis in all his glory was amazing and his designs were so colorful and fun!

I’m so thankful to Sarah & her team for allowing us to join her all week at these different events.  She’s so incredibly talented and such a hard-working mom—I’m so inspired by how she balances her family and her incredible career and hope you enjoyed taking a peek at our time together in New York!
