Fashion's Night Out

Last Thursday was Fashion's Night Out. FNO is an one night shopping event turned pARty!! It was the first time Indianapolis was an official participant. There were events going on all over town. I went to the VIP reception at the Artsgarden in Circle Center mall. It was a really fun event with free wine from Mass Ave Wine Shoppe, manicures, and several local designers showcased their current lines. It was like a giant fashion show, with bloggers, designers, photographers and anyone interested in fashion and shopping. I could have people watched all night! 

I had a great time with my fellow blogger friends and met some pretty cool new friends too! Believe it or not, I didn't buy anything! I know, crazy right?!?

Overall, it was a fun event and I'm so happy Indianapolis is participating! I think every year will be better and better! Can't wait til next year!

Fashion's Night Out Indianapolis

Over the past few years I have heard about my friends (in other cities) participating in Fashion's Night Out events and sales and I have always been a little jealous! Well I no longer have to be jealous, because FNO is coming to Indianapolis THIS YEAR! Next Thursday! 

What is Fashion's Night Out you may ask??

Founded in NYC in 2009, Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) is an unprecedented global initiative celebrating fashion, restoring consumer confidence, boosting the industry’s economy during the recession, and putting the fun back in shopping. Past FNO events have featured special limited-edition products, celebrity appearances, unforgettable performances, and incredible giveaways.

Last year's bash featured events in eighteen countries and more than 4,500 events here in the States. With special limited-edition products, celebrity appearances, and unforgettable performances, FNO 2012 is promising to be even bigger and better than before!

Indianapolis is celebrating FNO as an official participant for the first time this year and I am SOOO excited about it!!! FNO is being presented by Pattern Indy, which is the fashion networking group I have been attending meetups with over the last few months. 

Fashion's Night Out is Thursday September 6th from 6-10pm. 

Some participating retailers include: 

The Fashion Mall, Saks Fifth Ave, the Circle Centre Mall, and the Indianapolis International Airport.

Several stores within the malls are participating. For more information check the Pattern Indy website!! 

Hope you will all take advantage of this fun night of shopping!!
