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: 

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!!

An American Legacy


For the last few months I have been attending Pattern meetups as a way to get involved with the Indianapolis fashion industry. I have met a lot of people and made several new friends. It's a great organization and very welcoming to all those interested in fashion whether as a career or just a hobby. If you have any interest, definitely check them out (link above) and let me know if you would like to go  with me to a meetup!


A couple of weeks ago I attended the Pattern and Fashion Arts Society meetup at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  I enjoy going to the IMA, particularly when it has fashion related exhibits and at the meetup we were offered a personal tour of the exhibit: An American Legacy: Norell, Blass, Halston & Sprouse, all of whom hail from Indiana. I really enjoyed the inspiration from the pieces getting ideas for dresses I would like to create myself! The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 2013 so go and check it out! The pieces will be rotated and therefore you may just want to go twice. Click HERE for more information. 

Very Betty Draper.

This was my favorite!! I love the sparkle.  Maybe New Years Eve dress!?!





Fabulous fashion friends!
