Fashion’s Night Out Insanity in Meatpacking


Like thousands of other great fashionistas, I spent my Fashion’s Night Out 2011 cursing the shops of the Meatpacking District in search of free drinks and couture. It’s like one big free party where the guests of honor are the clothes. I started out the evening with a mixed drink at Hugo Boss. There, I got the urge to take a picture of myself in the mirror to show off both my outfit and the store as a whole. I kept doing this at every single store throughout the night.

My next stop was Matthew Williamson (pictured left) where the colors were vibrant as always. Due to some rambunctious fashion lovers last year, the House of Matthew Williamson had a strict two drink maximum. With lines around the block, Alexander McQueen was harder to get into than Will and Kate’s Royal Wedding. So I headed over to Diane von Furstenberg which had crowds of its own and some really awesome dresses. After stopping by Catherine Malandrino and Scoop, I hopped around some more and finished the evening with a mojito at Carlos Mieli. FNO is always a good time.

On Fashion’s Night Out, celebrities make appearances everywhere. I was secretly hoping to see a Kardashian. The girls from the new cast of America’s Next Top Model All Stars took over the Express store in SoHo.

The crazy shoes of FNO! Everyone was taking pictures of this girl’s shoes.

The streets of Meatpacking were transformed into a couture-driven Disney World. Can’t wait until next year.

Holiday Shopping at SCOOP NYC

It is time to keep aspiring.  According to the news, a second downturn may soon disrupt our economic recovery.  Fear not socialites because I predict the after Christmas sales this year are going to be better than ever.  Last weekend I raised my glass to the fallen socialites of the last century as I shopped over champagne in the Meatpacking District at SCOOP NYC.  Surrounded by Marc Jacobs bags, designer jeans, and tall couture boots I had a truly iconic shopping experience.  Every digital diva needs the most stylish tech accessories and I am head over heels for this Marc Jacobs computer case complete with pink bows (pictured left.)  As an Aspiring Socialite, I must always seek to entertain and be entertained.  Therefore, the shopping experience is a vital part of my everyday life. At SCOOP, I was reminded of Glee when the NYU A Cappella group, the N’Harmonics, gave an excellent performance at the storefront.  Hoping for a new Marc Jacobs bag in the near future to accessorize the song in my heart.  Happy Shopping!
