LIFE via INSTAGRAM - February 10th to 13th, 2013

In this installment of Life via Instagram I struggle to balance NYFW with some heavy media promotion for The Face. I start out at DVF,  go on VH1 with Nigel and then a radio tour with Karolina. The Face mentors and coaches ring the NASDAQ bell and finally I wrap up Fashion Week by taking my Team Coco girl Stephanie Lalanne to her first runway show, Rachel Zoe.

Follow me at @cocorocha for more real-time updates.
