Supermama With Style - Who says having kids has to slow you down? Not us! We know that you’re a supermama who can run from daycare pickup to the front row of a fashion show without breaking a nail. Here are a few tricks and tools to add to your arsenal as you give your little ones a first-hand education on being stylish and comfortable at this month’s New York Fashion Week.

Co-ordinated Chic - Celebrity stylist and designer June Ambrose and 10-year-old daughter (and front row fixture) Summer Chamblin show us how to do NYFW right: a cool patterned pant that won’t show wrinkles, jaunty hats that can conceal a bad hair day, and layers that will work whatever the temperature in the room make them chic and comfy.

Flatten Out - Yes, heels are fab, but you know what’s not fab? Tootsies that ache so bad that you can’t keep up with your kid. A sexy pair of flat boots or shoes like the Prada Perforated Pointed Toe Flat ($690) are the perfect footwear for long days on your feet. (Photo: Nordstrom)

Bag Lady - Your fashion week tool kit starts with the perfect designer carryall. Cross-body and tote bags are on trend for the season — and they make it easier to carry the world with you as you go from show to show. We love the show-stopping Kate Spade Cedar Street Medium Harmony ($298). (Photo: Kate Spade)

Pretty Protection - No mama’s bag is fully packed without a stash of bandages. Decorated with runway images, jewels, sequins and lace, Band-Aid’s Cynthia Rowley-designed bandages ($5) are perfect for NYFW. (They also cushion friction-battered heels in a pinch.) (Photo: Band-Aid via Amazon)
