Fashion’s Night Out Go-To Guide

Well, it’s finally that time again – NY Fashion Week – squeal!! Unfortch, I’m squealing from home this season with baby C. in tow (in my belly, that is), but I am still excited, nevertheless, and can’t wait to see what all of the designers have in store for us come spring (when I can actually squeeze into that mini again!)!

Most of my reporting will be done via afar – however – I have been lucky enough to secure a couple of too-fab “co-bloggers” (aka I Heart Heels Fashion Week Correspondents – that just has a ring to it, I like it!) to cover several of the actual runway shows of which I had to hand over the invites this past week. Check out their own blogs ahead of time, Fab Over Forty and Ferohhhsh.

Tomorrow night is the kick-off – Fashion’s Night Out – and I’ve received e-mail after e-mail of so many super-cool events, I thought I would post my own “go-to” guide. So, here it is, for your fashion-viewing pleasure. And lucky you if you’re in the city and going to any – purchase some heels for me, will ya? -xoxo
