GO: Fashion's Night OUT!!!

You've probably heard by now about Fashion's Night Out, the brainchild of Ms.Anna Wintour herself. This event aims to kickstart the economy by promoting shopping at full-price and busting out the benjamins in the name of fashion. On Thursday September 10th from 6-11pm, stores throughout the burroughs (and in twelve other cities worldwide) will keep their doors open late and offer some extra incentive to shop til you drop:

*cha-cha lessons and havana highballs at kate spade (find me there from 6-8:30!)
*balloon sculptures and a hide and seek scavenger hunt at cynthia rowley
*a full-blown block party at opening ceremony, equipped with food, music and special edition merch
*pink champagne and guest dj's in the courtyard of fenton-fallon

and many many many more....

hope to see you ALL there!
