Fashion Schmashion
We're in the New York Fashion Week home stretch and already feeling like we need a bajillion shots of B12 in our systems to make it through the last couple of days. While we're the first to admit that we wouldn't win any prizes for stamina, at least we know whom to go to for advice.  We polled some NYFW All-Stars like Kate Bosworth, The Courtin-Clarins Girls and Anna Dello Russo to see what they eat, drink, or carry in their purse to help get through Fashion Week. Our takeaway? Lots and lots of juicing.  Read on.

"We get constant orders of Liquiteria because it's non-stop sixteen hour days every day until the show. I like the grasshopper. It's a little bit of lemon juice and cayenne pepper and it's kind of cleanse-y."

"The only thing [during NYFW] that's pre-emptive is [putting] Band-Aids in the bag.  As a girl, you know. It's the feet. The feet take the biggest beating."

"[I like to] be attuned to the current political season -- watch Rachel Maddow.  I watched everything [from the DNC] -- I TiVo'd it."

"A car cell phone charger saves my life.  My phone dies all the time and having a car cell phone charger means no matter where I am, I can get into a car and I can find where I'm going because most of the time, I'm not so sure! A car cell phone charger is the key to my professional life."

"Because I never have time to eat, I always grab a protein shake -- that becomes my meal during Fashion Week -- but this season, I've been trying something that I've never done before and eat at 6 o'clock before the late show and then not eat again. So far, it's been great."
