Fashion’s Night Out 2011

Last year I went to Fashion’s Night Out in NYC during Fashion Week and let me just say…it is one crazy night. If you’ve never been, it’s a very fun evening, and the best part is, you don’t have to be in NYC to celebrate! This year FNO will take place on September 8 and it’s happening nationwide and even online.

This year I’ll be attending FNO in Chicago and you’ll be able to find me at the 900 North Michigan Shops where Brad Goreski will be in attendance, as well as the Saks event with Brian Atwood.

Where will you be for FNO? No matter where you’re going, be sure to pick up some official Fashion’s Night Out merchandise (which seems to be getting cuter every year by the way). Here are a few of my favorites…

Chi City Closet: Proenza Schouler Beach

About a month ago, I ordered the Proenza Schouler beach bag and towel because let’s be honest…I can’t resist anything Proenza. I’ve been so busy I haven’t really had the chance to use them but thankfully I had a few free moments to spare for the pool this weekend and Proenza beach made its debut!

This bag is huge so it’s easy to pack up for a full day at the beach. There are a ton of pockets to keep your phone and wallet protected plus there’s a bottom pouch you could put an ice pack in.

And I mean…how sweet is the towel?
