Fashion’s Night Out celebrates 4 years!!!! This September 6th join editors, bloggers, stars, models and fashionistas at the worldwide fashion party known as fashion’s night out. FNO is an unprecedented global initiative that was created in 2009 to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, boost the industry’s economy during the recession, and put the fun back in shopping! In the United States, the program is a collaboration between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company, and the City of New York. With special limited-edition products, Sales, celebrity appearances, and unforgettable performances this FNO is going to be the best one yet! Last years bash featured events in 18 countries with more than 4,500 events in the U.S. alone. Some of the largest events will be taking place in NYC and LA. NYC will be also kicking off New York Fashion Week on the 6th as well…..so if you’re in the New york area, take full advantage. I will be celebrating in the Los Angeles/ Beverly Hills area for my 4th year now. Last year I stopped by Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang and Alexander McQueen on Melrose in LA, then was off to Beverly Hills where the streets were literally shut down( complete with food trucks and a ferris wheel) and stopped by Saks, Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. I had the best time and am very excited to do it all over again! Where will you be on September 6th?
Official FNO hours. Thursday september 6,2012. 6pm-11pm
Official FNO Collection available HERE.

This past Weekend I went to Hester Goes Hollywood, a cool street fair with live music, food trucks and fabulous jewelry and clothing finds. I was overwhelmed at the amount of cute stuff! I overspent but left VERY happy. I made sure to grab a card at every vendor that I LOVED and now I’m going to share them with you.
Shoppublik. I loved their hanging spike bracelet and the zipper bracelet.
Agapanthanyc. I really like their use of vintage watch parts in their jewelry and their hammer necklace.
Visantine Collective. Great pieces and great construction. They had an amazing jacket, one of the best I’ve seen in quite sometime.
LeFashionTruck. I scored on some amazing two toned faceted teardrop earrings. Plus it’s so fun shopping in that cute pink truck….and YES there is a dressing room inside as well.
Threeheartz. Great head wraps and infinity scarf collection as well as fun jewelry.
Skaist Taylor is building a following…….fast! The “California eccentric” collection brought to us by the LA based designers who gave us Juicy Couture in 1996, is making major fashion waves. The team has since sold Juicy Couture to Liz Claiborne Corp. and have dived right into the Skaist Taylor line. Pamela Skaist- Levy and Gela Nash- Taylor launched the boho- chic line during new York Fashion Week this past Spring to rave reviews. Don’t worry there will be no tracksuits this time around! Remember wearing those everywhere?????? I admit I must have a dozen tracksuits lying around and still wear them to lounge in the house, I was a bonified “Juicy” girl…. But there comes a time for every fashion “moment” to move on though and this is that time for Pamela & Gela!
Skaist taylor is available now at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Skaist Taylor.
This affordable faux snake skin clutch is a perfect addition to any wardrobe. Available in burnt orange($28.10), mint($45.98) and brown($31.51) at Asos.

New york’s style savvy mens store Odin.($14.99-$99.99)

Statement necklaces are a great way to add a bit of flair to a look and are an easy way to look effortlessly glamorous. I’m a such fan of bib and collar necklaces, they tend to sit up high on the neck (grazing the collarbone) and look great with dresses, tanks, t-shirts or over a buttoned up chambray or sweater. I love how they can literally be worn as a collar, which is a fun twist on an otherwise normal necklace. My only tip is to keep the neckline simple as to not take away from the necklace ( no busy patterned shirts etc) Below are some necklaces for you to shop.
Sequined collar necklace($9.90) and Cutout leaf necklace($5.80) both available at Forever21.
Agate and brass bead bib necklace($58) available at Anthropologie.
Chain & rhinestone bib necklace($20) and Ebony jeweled necklace($298) both available at Nordstrom.
Silver feather necklace($23) available at Lulu’s.
Hammered metal collar($18) and Aruba collar necklace($38) both available at Nastygal.
Gold tone snake-skin crescent bib necklace($16.80) and bead & spike necklace($30.80) both available at kohl’s.
Looking for a trans-seasonal blazer that will complete any look? Look no further, a crisp white blazer will be there for you when you’re in fashion need and can be dressed up or down. White blazers are just as much a wardrobe essential as are black blazers and can be worn over dresses, with shorts, with jeans(wide leg or skinny) or anything really. With Fall just around the corner, there is no need to put away your white blazer, this is a great piece that carries over into Winter and beyond. I know we’ve all heard the saying…. but, no white after Labor day is an outdated fashion rule that’s not only been broken on countless runways in the last decade, but has practically been re written; hello! Winter white. It is A-okay to wear white after labor day!!!!!!
Below are some great ways to rock a white blazer anytime of the year.
Some blazers for you to shop.
1. Linen blazer($88) 2. Cropped blazer($59) 3. Knit blazer,petite($59) 4. Patterson J. Kincaid blazer($198) 5. Blazer,plus($54.90) available at Nordstrom.
