Look for me to post more pictures soon - I've been very delayed with getting pics off my camera. (Oh that day job!)
Last year I participated in Fashion's Night Out in Chicago - but only Neiman Marcus was participating. That was why I was very excited to hear this year that Chicago was getting much more involved for Vogue's 2nd Annual initiatve. Some of the shops who participated this year were Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Macy's (as well as all of Water Tower Place), and H&M.
As there are so many hours at the event, the girls and I only made it to Nordstrom, Macy's, and H&M.
1st Stop: Nordstrom
Nordstrom had a fashion show in the lobby outside of their store, which showed men's and women's looks. Some standouts included a fabulous classic men's suit, and a lot of animal print! Also saw some fabulous off-runway fashion from a few ladies. (Again, look for pics in a follow up post)
2nd Stop: Macy's
Before we get to the store itself, wanted to note how fabulous it was to see how packed Michigan Ave was with people on Friday night! The word had really gotten out about the event.
At Macy's Water Tower Place location we headed right to contemporary, where they were passing out delicious cookies, and were doing a promotion with Gucci's new fragrance, Guilty, by having patrons share their guilty pleasure. The winner received a basket of Gucci fragrance goodies. Sad I didn't win, but what a fun promotion! After walking out with a Rachel Rachel Roy dress, it was on to H&M...
3rd Stop: H&M
H&M was absolutely packed! We perused the aisles, but found the most success in their accessories department picking up some fun costume jewelry and for myself a faux fur scarf. Can't wait to bring that out in the winter months!
After all of that shopping excitement, the girls and I headed off to a late dinner and cocktails at Tavern on Rush. Overall a very successful and fun night - until next year!
