I\u2019ll be the first to admit I\u2019m pretty spoiled. As a born and raised Angeleno, I\u2019ve acclimated completely to warm-weather life: lovely sunny springs, scorching poolside summers, and temperate fall and winter seasons that seemingly blend into one. This is why every February, when I touch down in New York for fashion week, the sudden drop in temperature, makes for a big shock to my West Coast system. Yes, the energy of show- and party-hopping is exciting, but planning for the icy, snowy, dead-of-winter weather always brings a touch of anxiety. <\/p>\n
For this reason, I plan my outfits for NYFW fall\/winter shows meticulously ahead of time, making lists of the formulas and pieces I\u2019ll be packing to ensure efficiency and one less headache once my marathon week commences. This season felt especially tricky as the weather hit record lows. My fashion game plan consisted of strategic layers, heavy (yet glamorous outerwear), and sturdy footwear. Think: longline faux fur coats in fun animal prints and hues, soft nubby long-sleeve shell tees under nubby sweaters and quilted jackets, leather combat boots, and of course, thick teddy scarves. <\/p>\n
Ahead, see what all my careful planning manifested. Here are all the outfits I wore while trekking the chilly and stylish terrain that is NYFW. <\/p>\n

For Ralph Lauren\u2019s off-calendar show on Feb. 10, I went for rustic-chic vibes, donning a slinky printed maxi from vacation brand Bananhot and a cinched-waist suede jacket from Ducie. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n While I chose to wear this sheer gown in the dead of winter, I\u2019m happy to report it transitions nicely to the warmer months ahead. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n STAUD\u2019s Wally Boot are a year-round staple for me. I lierally wear them when jeans, shorts, dresses, and everything else in my closet. <\/p>\n I can\u2019t get enough of the silhouette of this jacket: the cinched waist and padded, strong shoulders make me feel powerful everytime I wear it. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I love a versatile piece. This oversized tote from Lemiz features straps that tuck in nicely, so it doubles as a large clutch, which is how I prefer to wear it. <\/p>\n Angela Melero<\/p>\n The first official day of NYFW was by far my busiest. Between the Coach, Collina Strada, and Tory Burch shows (to name a few), I had a full schedule of appointments and coffee meetings. I needed a fun outfit that could take me around town without a hitch, and nothing makes for a good time like colored tights and a cozy leopard faux fur coat. <\/p>\n KHY\u2019s faux fur coats are super style-forward and reasonable in price, my favorite combo. <\/p>\n
