save the date: fashion's night out

*
unless you've been living under a rock of late, you know that this thursday is fashion's night out. touted as an event to inspire consumers, invigorate the economy and local industry. it's an ambitious objective.

fashion's night out nyc. most events 6pm - 11pm.

there are too many events to comprehensively review...so here are my picks.

bergdorf goodman.
big fashion names will be on-site at bergdorf goodman doing various things, ranging from a fashion game show to selling paintings. who? andre leon talley, donna karan, annie leibovitz, cynthia rowley, zac posen, alexander wang et al.
754 5th ave, near 58th

barney's.
the main draw to hit up barney's would be checking out the olsen twins' outfits while they (gasp) bartend.
660 madison avenue

soho h&m.
miss j (america's next top model runway guru) will be teaching shoppers how to walk the runway.
soho 515 broadway, between broome st & spring st

teen vogue bleecker street block party.
runway show featuring rag & bone, cynthia rowley et al.

burberry.

9 e 57th st, at 5th ave

$5,000 shopping spree.

anna sui for target pop-up shop.
this pop-up shop will save a trip out to brooklyn's target where the anna sui for target line will debut september 13. hit up the pop-up store on september 10 for an advance purchase, and likely see a few of the gossip girl cast along the way.

anna sui for target, blair's look.

anna sui for target, vanessa's look.

anna sui for target pop-up store.
september 10-12; thurs 11-11pm, fri&sat 11-8pm

best bets for itinerary are soho and then 5th ave midtown/upper east...

waiting for weekend

*

with no days of pre-call or post-call, it is a full work week. meh.

last night i went out for pommes frites and dollar-sushi. (yes, you read that right. dollar-sushi). first stop, pommes frites. i may have to eat fries every week until i have tried all the dipping sauces. last night, we had the cheese sauce, sundried tomato mayo, & parmesan peppercorn mayo. the next ones i want to try are mango chutney mayo and grilled eggplant mayo. (as per recommendations). second stop, dollar-sushi. it may sound totally sketchy, but it was surprisely o-k. the place was packed, which is generally a good sign. after, i was too lazy to walk to butter lane to get "the better cupcake." (next time...)

tonight, i was contemplating checking out barney's warehouse sale which started today. after reading some stories online of the queue to get in this morning and the lack of any worthy sales, i passed and decided to check out the saja sample sale in the lower east side. i'm glad i did. although the sample sale was a disaster with absolutely no rhyme or reason to the way merch was put on the racks...there were a lot of great deals. trying to look thru the racks was deadly. i don't know why, but there were a lot of tiny asian girls there. and asian girls can get mean when they are shopping for deals, peoples. i snagged this small sized dress (which were few, most of the merch was size 6), as angry little asian girls watched with envy.

saja cowl neck dress in moss print. (retail $470! who would pay this, really?!!) sample sale $70

finally friday tomorrow! want to try one of ippudo or jewel bako .

this weekend: visitors! saturday night booked at bouley. the tasting menu. all i can say is, it better be good, peoples. it better be really good.
