Last year marked the first annual Fashion’s Night Out, an initiative brought to you by VOGUE, Mayor Bloomberg, NYC & Company and the CFDA. This multi-retailer shopping event hit New York like a storm on the eve of Fashion Week!

Last year, I celebrated Fashion’s Night Out by getting in as much shopping as one could fit into one night. I first stopped by the Tory Burch store in the Meatpacking District for shopping (plus my free camo bag with purchase), music and drinks. Next I browsed through Catherine Malandrino for more shopping, champagne and chocolates. I ended the night at the RACHEL Rachel Roy pop-up shop to purchase some of her graffiti collection and mingle with the stars, then headed over to the Anna Sui for Target pop-up shop before calling it a night.

This year’s Fashion’s Night Out promises to be even bigger, with hundreds of participating retailers in New York and throughout the country. This is your chance to score snag one-night-only discounts as well as meet your favorite designers and celebs! If you’re in NYC, here’s a sampling of some of the hottest FNO events:
