How Was Fashion’s Night Out? The Verdict!

Here is the totally overdue report on Fashion’s Night Out. The PR team split up that night so we could man the different outposts. I headed to Saks Fifth Avenue to meet Daria, who just gets more and more beautiful. She was wearing Isabel Marant suede over-the-knee boots, Maria Cornejo leather leggings and a little bit of makeup. Tons of people stopped by for photos and to get Daria’s signature on their bottles of Hypnose Senses, the new fragrance launching next month. It’s a very pretty scent in the fragrance family known as chypre (just say “sheep” with a slight French accent and you’ve got it). Lots of VIPs swirled around the beauty floor, like Vogue beauty director Sarah Brown, Essence beauty director Mikki Taylor and supermodels Julia Stegner and Coco Rocha. Saks felt like one big party.

I was bummed to miss the fun at Bloomingdale’s SoHo. Arlenis was there, along with many of our favorite beauty bloggers. Check out the video above, shot there by our friends at Daily Makeover during the event.

I hopped in a taxi to get to our Upper West Side boutique party. I couldn’t believe all the people we passed by, all dressed up and walking from store to store. Everyone was in such a good mood. The boutique party was a blast. Lots of Henriot Champagne, Magnolia cupcakes, more of our fave bloggers, models, makeup artists, editors, even a Food Network star. Sandy Linter, Daniel Martin, Andrew Sotomayor, Veronica Webb, Chris Benz, Elettra and even our boss were there. Several people put their name on the waiting list for the Chris Benz lipstick–a real test of faith as we didn’t reveal the color. One lucky person won two tickets to Chris’ show.

Were any of you in New York City that night? If so, I’d love to hear what you thought–and what you bought.

  3. Hi, Beauty Logic! I'm sorry I missed you. Did your mom get to meet Arlenis? I forgot to mention in the post that I was very psyched to meet two of my fave bloggers for the first time–Luxe Tips and Fab Over 40. If you haven't checked out their blogs, do so.
