Fashion’s Night Out was created four years ago by Vogue (the concept was Anna Wintour’s baby) along with the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the City of New York, to celebrate fashion, boost the industry’s economy during the recession, and put the fun back in shopping. The initiative has since exploded globally, and several stores in our back yards are participating tomorrow night, Thursday, September 6, with in-store special events, deals, entertainment and more. Grab a girlfriend, your wallet, and go shopping — no need to go to the city!
Several stores in the Westchester Mall will be hosting special Fashion’s Night Out events – notably, Neiman Marcus, where you can meet handbag designer Santiago Gonzalez, enjoy tastings from BLT Steak, and check out the accessory bar with blogger Stacy Geisinger of Stacyknows. Other participating stores include Bebe, Ann Taylor, BCBG, Dooney & Bourke, Juicy Couture, Steve Madden and Papyrus. 4-8pm. 125 Westchester Ave, White Plains.

I happened upon this site by way of Watercooler when I saw that one of the mom’s from this site was new member at Watercooler in Tarrytown. This is a great site. I’m not a mom but I still love reading the clever and informative write up about great spots and activities around Westchester. I look forward to visiting the site in the future and will share it with my co-workers who live in the area. Thanks
Also alot of people from NYC often like to take a break from the hustle and bustle of this city so if you haven’t already I think this would be a great site to introduce via play groups or other venues to moms and moms-to-be in the city.
