I use to avoid fashion night out because I thought oh just a bunch of snot nosed teenagers looking to spot some couture designers. Yes, I was wrong in my assumption. Depending on where you are, the crowd can get out of hand. But if you plan and go earl, you can get lots of of your FNO evening. Fashion Night Out in NYC is fun time to meet other fashion and beauty lovers, meet and interact with brands, and have a fabulous time. I attending last season with my sister and enjoyed events at some of my favorite brands like Aveda and Korres. There are several events happening at department store locations such as Bergdorf, Bloomies etc. I’ve only highlighted the ones hopefully I’ll be able to get to. Most of the locations will be hosting FNO from 6-10pm unless otherwise noted.

Here are my top picks:
