It’s that time of year again when the fashion world unites for a one-night only worldwide celebration to kick off Fashion Week. Retailers transform their stores into party zones with shopping incentives, beauty bargains and other special surprises. Last year, I was on the scene for Fashion’s Night Out. However, I’ll be sitting this one out for a very good reason. I’m expecting my first baby! Of all due dates, mine falls on Sept. 8th — Fashion’s Night Out. How fitting that my little one wants to enter this world in style. I’ll keep you updated on the arrival.
In the mean time, since I’ll be missing the fun festivities, I’m counting on you to take my spot. For all the Chicagoans, If I coulda, I woulda been heading to Macy’s Water Tower Place for the third annual event. The retailer is going all out with beauty raffles every 30 minutes, photo booths, and spa treatments, among other exciting stuff. Plus, the newly revamped beauty floor is bananas with high-tech lighting, a feng shui feeling layout and top-notch brands. Many of the counters are offering gifts with purchase and other treats for the taking just for this one occassion.
