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…

Topshop Topman Lollapalooza After Party

This weekend, I attended the Topshop/Topman Lollapalooza after party at Bar Deville. The venue was super laid back which goes along with the whole music festival theme. There were all sorts of people there; from those who were at Lolla all day in their cut-offs and tank tops to those decked out in dresses and sky high heels. And yes, I drank PBR in 6 inch Louboutins…so what? 🙂

Ran into Jeff from The Midwestyle!

This was such a fun event, and I got to see Tinie Tempah perform…which was really awesome. I’ve heard a few of his songs before but it was way cooler to see him live.

So basically (once again), Zapwater killed it. And I am so looking forward to more Topshop events and even more so…the TOPSHOP OPENING NEXT MONTH!
