Shop For a Cause With Macy’s

On Saturday, August 27, 2011, Macy’s will host its 6th annual Shop For A Cause benefiting charities across the country. This one day event is a fun way for non-profits, school booster groups and other charitable organizations to raise funds and awareness for their causes.

By purchasing a $5 shopping pass from any participating organization, customers support their favorite causes and receive 25% off most regular, sale and clearance purchases in the store. This is even valid for shopping online all day Saturday, August 27!  Plus, customers have the chance to win a $500 shopping spree.

Shop For A Cause passes are also being sold at all Macy’s stores through the 27th and at macys.com. All of the passes sold in store and online will benefit the March of Dimes, a leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health.

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…

Shop It To Me + What I Wore Shop Crawl

On Wednesday, August 24 Jessica Quirk from What I Wore will be at the 900 Shops promoting her new book appropriately titled, What I Wore. This is especially awesome to me because Jessica’s blog was the first personal style blog I ever discovered and really got me interested in fashion blogging.

So come to Julie Watson Style at 900 N. Michigan and sip cocktails, meet Jessica, and of course…shop!

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!
