Fashion's Night Out 2011




Well, another successful Fashion's Night Out has come and gone.  I was actually supposed to be in NYC for a shoot with Conde Nast yesterday, and the east coast storms a few weeks ago kept me from being able to get a ticket.  With my crazy shoot schedule, I usually have to make day trips to either coast so I can get back in time for the next day's shoot here in Dallas.  Needless to say, I was pretty bummed out to be missing FNO in New York and meeting the wonderful, stylish crew at Conde Nast.

To keep my mind off my sorrows, I was sent to cover FNO last night at Highland Park Village (the very first shopping center in the country!) and Tootsies, and it was an even bigger affair than last year.  The amazingly beautiful and always gracious Jan Strimple put on two runway shows at HPV that wowed everyone.  Another fun event at HPV was at Jimmy Choo, to celebrate the official debut of "Style Sheet" at D Magazine.  Two of the most creative and wonderfully nice people you'll ever meet, Kristi and Scot Redman (pictured above) are the brains behind Style Sheet, and even if you aren't a local, you should check it out for inspiration.
Sadly, since I was working, I didn't get to experience the manicures at Chanel or check out the new DVF collection, but I plan on doing some fall shopping this weekend to make up for it. :)
It's tough to know what to wear for FNO, since everyone looks so lovely.  I chose a comfortable Black Halo dress and Via Spiga heels (not pictured)...which weren't comfy, but added a good five inches to my height.
It was taken from my iPhone, but here is a quick glimpse at the outdoor runway show. Enjoy!
