FASHION'S NIGHT OUT - Manhattan by Shalanda Turner : Lucky Community

Entering New York & Company to meet Stacy London from TLC's What Not to Wear

I've been participating in Fashion's Night Out for 3 out of the 4 years of it's existence. However, this was my first year being able to participate in FNO in New York; the home base for all Fashion's Night Out around the world. I was super excited to be in New York for FNO, I think it even trumped being in New York for IFBCon altogether. However there was soooo much going on for FNONY that it was a bit overwhelming.

The line to get into to New York & Company to meet Stacy

The first 100 people in line received Stacy's new book which isn't even in stores yet! I started reading it on the plane ride back to Houston! It's great! Can't wait to read all of it!

The book-signing station to meet Stacy. We left before this because we had tons of other locations to get to for FNO!

Stacy first took her guests on a tour of NY&Co with her picks and favorite pieces. Not only is NY&Co one of my favorite stores, but What Not to Wear is one of my favorite shoes so meeting Stacy, in New York, at New York & Company was so that and more. I literally was standing right in front of her in this pic and we had a convo about this dress by New York & Company.

Next we stopped by Bloomingdales to meet Kellan Lutz, but he was runnin' late, so we pieced out. However we did make purchases in Bloomingdales. I bought an FNO Shirt.

After Midtown area we headed to Soho. Walking past the DASH store, I recognized Johnathan Cheban inside. He's a celeb PR rep and Kim Kardashian's best friend.

Then I went back to midtown on my own to see if I could catch Michael Kors at his store, but I had just missed him and Karaoke was over :-(, but I still had fun and purchased a new pair of MK Aviators!

Even without Michael there, his store was poppin!

Coveting all these purses!

After leaving Michael Kors I went to DKNY. Fun because they had sexy firefighters to take photos with! I missed Ms. Piggy and Donna Karan herself, but sure didn't mind being with the firefighters! lol
