Attend New York Fashion Week From Your Couch: A Complete List of Shows Livestreaming This Week

New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week...with even more coming in! The best part? You won't be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine... See any shows we missed? Let us know!

Fashion Shows In Swimming Pools, Street Style on Yachts, and More: A Dispatch from Aruba Fashion Week

Funnily enough, there are lots of parallels between any major fashion week and Aruba fashion week. There's a Karl Lagerfeld-type who runs the show and a vibrant street style scene--it just happens on yachts and beaches instead of Lincoln Center. Oh and runways are in the middle of swimming pools. If you ask us, New York, London, Milan and Paris could learn a thing or two from Aruba.

Fashion News Roundup: FDA Says There's Lead in Your Lipstick, Lara Stone Has Road Rage, and Kate Middleton Went to a Non-Alcoholic Bar

FDA Says Most Lipsticks Contain Lead: Just when you thought it was safe to add some pigment to your pout! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducted a study for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, and found that of 400 lipsticks they tested, the majority contained low levels of lead. L'Oreal's "Color Sensational" Pink Petal lipstick had the most lead, containing 7.19 parts per million. Compare that with children's products sold in the U.S., which are not allowed to have more that 100 parts per million. But don't get too worried-- the FDA says the levels are so miniscule, there's really nothing to worry about. (HuffPost) Orlando Bloom Says Wife Miranda Kerr Makes Being Beautiful "Look Easy": He might not be spending Valentine's day with his supermodel spouse, but Orlando Bloom had no shortage of nice words for his wife Miranda Kerr. The actor told the folks at Australia's Kyle and Jackie O radio show that he is in awe of how quickly Kerr shed those post-baby pounds: "To have just had a baby and then got back up on to do that. I don't think it's easy for those girls. They make it look easy, but you know, it's a lot of work to look good." (Vogue UK) Huffpost Style Compares NYFW to Your High School Cafeteria:...and they might have a point. From seating politics, to an arbitrarily determined social hierarchy, Fashion Week is kind of like a chic flashback to our high school days. (HuffPost)

Charlotte Ronson Fall 2012: Aviator Scuba Chic

Per usual, the Charlotte Ronson fall/winter 2012 show was a total friends and family affair. The front row was packed with the designer’s friends including hip hop mogul Russell Simmons, his daughter and frequent show-presence Angela Simmons, the somewhat dormant Nicki Hilton, and DJ buds Chelsea Leyland and Becka Diamond (who arrived together and giggling minutes before the show started). Once the lights went down Ronson sent over 33 looks down the runway that, like last season, were a bit on the eclectic side. I looked to the line-sheet for some pointers, but there weren’t any pithy sayings or obscure literary quotes for guidance. So if I attempted to sum it up:
