Fashion's Night Out

New York Fashion Week kicked off while mum and I were in NYC. And with Fashion Week comes Fashion's Night Out. FNO was started in 2008 by Anna Wintour during the height of the GFC and was seen as a way of boosting sales.

Basically retailers put on food, drink, prizes, celebrity appearances and GWPs etc to entice shoppers to visit their stores.

Mum and I decided to head up to Lord & Taylor, a department store, to celebrate the night. Upon arrival we both received a key. There were 30 locked boxes located throughout the nine levels of their store. Simply, if your key unlocked the box, you won whatever was in the box. Some of the prizes included iPads, Kate Spade leather goods and make up packs. We didn't win anything, but it was still fun searching for the boxes and hoping ;)

Lord & Taylor had plenty of other things going on, including free facials and make up stations, Jockey male models and the NYC fire department signing their 2013 calendars. They also provided free drink stations including champagne, wine, vodka cocktails and tequila!

Shopping and drinking - does it get any better?! hehe.

While we were walking around I was approached by two people who asked me if they could take a photo of me and my outfit for their blog.

Here is the photo they took, minus my head - which I cut out haha:

I was wearing navy Gap shorts, Banana Republic blouse, tan Tony Bianco wedges and tan Tony Bianco handbag.

I also had a photo with the Jockey male models. One of them was tall, and we all know how much I love a photo with anyone who is taller than me!! haha.

I had my six inch wedges on in this photo and he is still taller than me!! hehe

All in all we had a really great night! It was lots of fun, and shopping and drinking should be mixed more regularly! HA!
