i’ve been home from nyfw for a couple of days, mostly recovering from nearly two weeks with little to no sleep (yikes!), but also having tons of fun going back through the hundreds (ok, thousands) of photos i took during my trip. and of course, one of the most exciting experiences from nyfw was the opportunity to walk the runway for the polyvore live event!
we arrived at the venue at 12:30pm to start the process of transforming ourselves from fashion bloggers to “models” for the day. prior to the event, i had been taking photos backstage at several runway shows to get a peek at the hair and makeup before the shows, so it was quite a role reversal to find myself sitting in the chair getting primped and pampered by cover girl, sarah potempa, and tenoverten. and as you can see from the photos, i was barely recognizable after a full head of extensions and a very fancy updo with sultry makeup and a very glamorous dress designed by celestino. it was a surreal experience, to say the least, and i am so happy to have been a part of the event! it was tons of fun to play a model for the day and to try something completely new, though i definitely think i’ll be keeping my day job, haha! a big thank you to everyone who participated in the event!
if you missed the live stream, you can still watch the full video right here. (it’s a long video, so if you’re curious, i walk the runway at around the 23:36 mark!)
What an incredible transformation! Looks you’re having a great time!

saw the video and loved you and rebecca. also, I love this hair on you, it’s so ladylike. and the dress was pretty much perfect.
You look stunning and I love the long hair on you. Wow, what a difference but I still love your bob ;).
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us. Your dress was fabulous.
thanks! it was fun to try out, but i agree. something about a bob is so much more free-spirited and easy to wear than all those long tresses. at least on me!
so gorgeous!!!!! love your hair and makeup!!!

wow! how fun for you, erin!! beautiful job.
You look beautiful with AND without bangs. What a treat to see yourself styled completely differently than normal!
Did you see all the people looking at your tattoos in one of the runway photos? I love it! Also, you look so different without bangs- I had to scroll down to see if it was really you. You look beautiful, as always!
i totally didn’t notice it at first, but i think it’s hilarious! since it’s on the back of my leg, i rarely ever notice people checking it out, but it must be much more eye-catching than i ever thought, haha!
You look absolutely stunning, what a lovely dress too!

Oh my gosh! I didn’t even recognise you, these photos are stunning! It looks like you had a magical time xx
Holy Smokes! You are kicking ass in these photos!!!!!!!! Were you like jumping up and down inside while you were on the runway?! Ha! How fun.
Wow, this is amazing! That dress looks beautiful on you
Wow, what an experience! I think I prefer your everyday look though – I’m not sure all that makeup suits your Californian, bike-riding girl vibe. Fun for a change though.
wow, you look absolutely amazing. I love your transformation!
oh wow! you look so different with long hair! but always beautiful, stealing your eyebrows! LOVE
beautiful! i looked through the pictures first and didn’t even realize that gorgeous model was you! i can pick up on your hispanic features more with your hair back like that. que bonita!
You are so beautiful!!!
I am addicted to calivintage!!
You look beautiful!
