The invites have been sent out, the seating charts are being filled, and fashion folks everywhere are resoling their Manolos (or cleaning up their Chucks): Fashion week is upon us!

It may just be seven days on a calendar (eight, if you wanna get technical), but as anyone in the industry will tell you, it feels way longer than just a week. Midnight deadlines, traffic jams on your way to Jason Wu, a dead battery when Kim and Kanye are front row–it’s a lot of stress. The good kind of course–we feel pretty lucky to get to do this.

Here at Fashionista, we’ve collected all the things that get us through the chaos with our sanity intact. From Hayley’s trustworthy NARS lip pencil to Kibwe’s all-purpose coconut oil (and lots of black boots), these are the items that help keep us cool, calm, and collected during fashion week.
