What a foodish blogger eats during LA Fashion Week

fashion week day 1
About a month ago, New York magazine asked four members of the fashion community to keep track of what they ate during the go-go-go chaos known as Fashion Week. The magazine followed two models, a fashion show producer, and a fashion magazine editor and itt was surprising to see the diets of the models. Even more interesting was the fact that the magazine editor ate the least!

Since I also write for one of our sister blogs, Styledash, I went to LA's Fashion Week, which wrapped up at the end of last week, and since I'm a foodist at heart, I thought it would be fun to do the same thing to see what my diet would be like (good? bad? ugly?) during five days of fashionable frenzy: fashion shows, after parties, then blogging into the night.

Think a fashion magazine editor doesn't eat much during Fashion Week? How about a food blogger...

DAY ONE
7:15 AM - Two cups of coffee and half a croissant while blogging at my desk.
11:15 AM - Three hard-boiled eggs sprinkled with soy sauce and sriracha (yes, it's delicious) before heading off to opening day.
4:00 PM - Prunes and dried apricots that I brought with me in my purse and bottled water.
9:45 PM - Greek salad I made at home (one of my favorite salads, so I try to keep the ingredients on hand all the time) and 1½ glasses of Syrah while blogging at my desk.

Fashion Week cookies

Fashion Week, the spectacle that descends upon New York City's Bryant Park, is winding down. I don't follow couture, but I'm aware that the show is as well-known for previewing bleeding-edge styles as it is for creative cross-promotions.

One of this year's marketing efforts surely takes the cake, or perhaps I should say cookie. Sugary, calorie-laden treats have never been big among the fashion set. That is unless they're adorned with images of models and designers.

Eleni's Bakery created the cookies, which feature such luminaries as Vera Wang (pictured), Diane Von Furstenberg and Anna Sui. The fashionable treats go for $6 a pop, but Delta Airlines is giving them away at the show. Oh by the way, if seeing The Devil Wears Prada didn't quench any hatred for Anna Wintour, now you can literally bite her head off.

Fast food fashion

As if the Whopperettes weren't bad enough, food-as-clothing hit the catwalks in New York's Fashion Week. Designer Jeremy Scott seemed to decide that the world's selection of fast food-themed clothing was sorely lacking, as he turned cloth versions of packages of French fries and hamburgers into dresses and sweaters. Of course, the French fry packet dress might be an actual "super size" wrapper from McDonald's, filched before the fast food giant eliminated the size, since the real box was probably large enough to fit one of the Mr. Scott's models. Several other pieces in the collection were also food inspired, such as an ice cream cone dress and a pizza robe/dress.

Tip of the Day

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
