Event Alert: Fashion’s Night Out Is Tomorrow

Some of the stores participating in Boston’s Fashion’s Night Out.

In case you haven’t heard, Anna Wintour has made it her personal mission to revive the consumer culture. Fashion’s Night Out, a massive city-wide shopping block party in Manhattan, was such a hit last year that it spread across the country and overseas, becoming quite the extravaganza.

Limited edition clothing, flea markets at indie boutiques manned by the likes of Alexander Wang and the Rodarte sisters, Rag & Bone vs. Shipley & Halmos over ping pong at Barneys Coop,  boutique BBQs, etc. etc. But that’all in NYC. So sad.

Boston is easing in on the action, though slowly and quietly. Runway regulars Cynthia Rowley and Diane von Furstenberg are hosting events at their Newbury Street shops, and Saks and Neiman’s are hosting events here too, along with Kenneth Cole and Ann Taylor.  Let’s see if we can’t get this  party started.

Boston Shop Alert: Converse, Pinkberry, Ibex and J.Crew Men

Back in town for a day before heading off to NYC for a The Feast/Shop fest.  After a mani/pedi at Miniluxe I hit Madewell (got a super cute print dress, studded belt and army green jacket), then Saks for a return, and over to J.Crew (MUST try the toothpick pant – v. comfy). Here’s the new openings I spotted along the way.

Converse opening this fall on last block of Newbury next to Patagonia.

G2O Spa+Salon moving from last block 2nd floor space to fancier spot at 278 Newbury.

Pinkberry to open at 286 Newbury. Mmm.

Ibex (outdoor clothing) joins Newbury, in the former Framery space on the corner of Hereford.

The guys get their own. As reported by WWD this spring, J.Crew Men’s is opening in Boston, across the way from J.Crew in Copley Place. This will be the first men’s-specific store outside NYC. Now if they’d consider a Crew Cuts in the same location, I’d be all set.

Event Alert: Erin Gates Shopping Party at Cynthia Rowley

164 Newbury Street, Boston

Boston interior designer, stylist, and blogger Erin Gates of Elements of Style is hosting a shopping party next week at Cynthia Rowley on Newbury Street. Unfortunately I’ll be out of town (well, not so unfortunate, I’ll be in NYC) but if you’re interested in attending, let Erin know. You’ll get 20 percent off your purchases that evening. There are some great fall looks.

I’m especially loving the  prints and fringe.
