Fashion's Night Out 2011 - Doing it Up on the West Coast

Fashion’s Night Out is just a few short weeks away (September 8^th to be exact) and the events are starting to line up. While most retailers host special events and parties on this night the actual intent of FNO is to remind consumers of the importance that fashion, retail, and shopping bring to their local economy. However, there is nothing wrong with having fun while indulging in a little retail therapy.  I don’t know about you, but I enjoy shopping a lot more with some cool tunes in the background and a glass of champagne in hand.

Reviving L.A.’s Fashion Scene

I was quite bummed when I found out that Fashion’s Night Out (organized by Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour) wasn’t a big deal in L.A. as it was in New York. WTF! Hello! This is Los Angeles - the town where the film industry and celebrities dictate a majority of the trends in fashion. Seriously, do you see models on the covers of magazines anymore? Why the hell does L.A. lag when it comes to fashion?
