More Fab Details on FNO at Saks, Other NoVA Shops

Posted by Natalie Kaar / Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

Hello there, shoppers! So, it’s unofficially fall.

The kids are back in school. The traffic is back to nightmarish levels. And the local shopping scene is hosting all sorts of events to get us excited about the new season — and help us forget all of that horrible traffic.

Of course this week things are really heating up on the shopping front with Fashion’s Night Out! While the FNO festivities are looking mighty fine in Georgetown, there’s no need to cross the river with what Alexandria’s BeautyFull Boutique (Fashion’s Night Out Plus for plus-size pretties), Tysons Corner Center stores (Quidam by Cirque du Soleil displays and music, plus cocktails, sweet treats, raffles, tons of store discounts and more) and Tysons Galleria stores (celebrity appearances, complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, gifts with purchase, sweepstakes, live music and more) have planned.

As for Tysons Galleria, we have more details on Thursday’s soiree at Saks, and they’re stellar.

So we told you there would be healthy cooking demonstrations with star chefs and a silent auction to benefit March of Dimes, but we haven’t filled you in that Oprah’s former trainer for her Life Your Best Life Tour, Laurent Amzallag, will be there along with chiropractor Dr. Jen Faber, who has helped keep the Lada Gaga dancers dancing.

Also, the event, taking place from 4-7 p.m., presenting by “A Healthy Baby Begins With You” celebrity spokeswomen Tanya Lewis Lee (wife of Spike Lee), Saks, The March of Dimes, The Office of Minority Health and DC Magazine will include makeovers and a photo booth in celebration of the new B Brian Atwood collection.

Hope you’re resting up!

Happy shopping!
