Your FNOuting in Chicago

The best
thing about September? It’s the official unofficial Fashion Month of the year. The best thing about Fashion’s Night Out? You can be anywhere in the world to celebrate, including Chicago! Whether or not you have your FNOuting plans set in stone this Thursday, here is a summary of boutiques worth browsing. See you on the fashion circuit!

Hosted by
Brad Goreski, the anticipated Fame,
Fashion & Flavor-themed event at the 900
Shops boasts a complimentary beauty bazaar, runway photo booth from Shop eDrop-Off,
in-store promotions and more. (900 N. Michigan)

Famed Chicago-born shoe designer Brian Atwood will be unveiling his new shoe line, B Brian Atwood, at Saks
Fifth Avenue. (717 N. Michigan)

Hang with Kelly Osbourne, cast members of Bravo’s The
Real Housewives, and stylist Marcellas Reynolds at Macy’s on State Street for mini-makeovers, music, informal modeling and special
shopping incentives.

Just down the
street, stop into an H&M
for the chance to win an exclusive, all-expenses paid trip to NYC for a prelaunch shopping soiree celebrating Versace for H&M. Two lucky winners will also score a $200 gift card! (840 N. Michigan & 22 N. State)

Next door on Michigan Avenue, you can finally shop the famed fashion powerhouse Topshop. They’re offering free makeovers,
styling tips and a free gift when you spend over $100
in-store.

Once you’ve
looped (ahem) around Michigan
Avenue, head over to Oak Street for a major FNO block
party with Jimmy Choo, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Sofia Vintage and Vince
(just to name a few). If you’re looking for free swag, cocktails, nosh, raffle prizes and free giveaways, Oak Street is one stop you’ll want to make on
your FNOuting. (Pssst… I heard Marc Jacobs will be giving away carnival tote bags at 6 p.m. - first-come, first-served!)

If homeward bound is north, make Southport Corridor your last stop enjoy complimentary cocktails,
desserts and in-store discounts at Cerato
Boutique. Don’t forget what FNO is all about: supporting local designers!
Being able to do so at such affordable prices is just an added bonus. (3451 N. Southport)

… Or if you’re due west instead, head into Cynthia Rowley with Dana Weiss of the
Possessionista. She’s hosting the exclusive launch of the designer’s
collaboration with BANDAID, celebrating with giveaways and treatments from
Bliss Spa. (1653 N.
Damen)
