Fashion's Night Out

Did anyone watch Fashion's Night out last night? I dvr'd it and watched it today.

If you didn't see it the website basically says what it was all about. "From Brooklyn to Brazil to Boston, the fashion industry is already buzzing about the 2010 edition of the biggest fashion party in history."

It was really meant to inspire you to go out and spend money on fashion again. Explaining that consumer spending keeps people working from the electrician that hangs the lights in the stores to the boutique owner and designers who fill the store. I know it's a big circle b/c if you aren't working or are under employed how can you go out and spend money? I did find it interesting that Tory Burch as huge as she is doesn't do any print advertising. She only promotes through social media and says she loves it this way b/c she gets feedback instantly whether it be positive or negative.

If you watched let me know your thoughts...

Clothes Hound Party

I had so much fun today, I did a Clothes Hound party at Topsail Beach. What could be better than the Beach, Shopping and Wine with your girlfriends?! Of course I forgot to take pictures but Becky and Julie threw an amazing party which had a great turn out. I got to catch up with some old friends from high school I hadn't seen in a long time and enjoyed meeting some of their other girlfriends. I'm always amazed at the great group of friends girls have, I love being invited into their circle even if it is only for a few hours during a party. It's fun to observe the dynamic, hear about their interest and of course eavesdrop on the gossip. :) Definitely a fun Sunday! Thanks again Ladies!
