Fashion’s Night Out in D.C.

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Fashion's Night Out Georgetown LogoGood morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you all made it to where you are safely — and dry. Should you need a little lift this morning, other than some high, waterproof wedges or something, you’re in luck.

Fashionistas, as you know, the annual global fashion celebration Fashion’s Night Out is coming up soon, Sept. 10. What you may not have heard is that Georgetown is gearing up for the evening with perks planned that could rival even those in NYC! And, just think, no pricey train ticket or time off from work needed.

From 6-11 p.m. on Sept. 10, over 60 Georgetown stores, restaurants and salons will be joining together to make it one “epic” evening, offering over 60 unique fashion-focused events. Festivities are to  include: Cirque du Soleil performances around the neighborhood (and a chance to win tickets to “Ovo” when it comes to D.C.);  fashionista-themed cocktails for charity at Farmers & Fishers; a Nintendo Wii tournament at Lacoste with fantastic fall apparel prizes; a chic shoppers’ lounge at Dean & Deluca thanks to Vitaminwater;  a Halston Heritage trunk show, gifts with purchase and treats at Urban Chic; free bus rides; pedicabs for those with a proof of purchase and much more!

“Fashion’s Night Out is one of the biggest and most exciting global fashion events ever to come to D.C., and Georgetown is absolutely thrilled to be the neighborhood leading the efforts for D.C.,” says Nancy Miyahira, marketing director of the Georgetown Business Improvement District, sponsor and organizer of the event.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Fourth of July!

Gearing up for all of the holiday shopping specials? Here’s your go-to guide!

In no particular order …

Leesburg Corner Premium Outlets are having a July 4th Summer Sale through Monday. Save 25 to 65 percent at stores like Ann Taylor, BCBG Max Azria, Coach, DKNY, Kate Spade, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lacoste, Pottery Barn and Williams & Sonoma.

Of course, area Macy’s stores are in on the sweet sale action, too. You’ll save 25 to 80 percent through July 5 with an All-Day Savings Pass.

Looking for formal wear or a wedding dress for the summer? Make sure to stop by the Priscilla of Boston trunk show in Tysons Corner, which lasts through July 6. Also in Tysons, Nicole Miller stunners are now marked up to 60 percent off. (Another FYI, Nicole Miller fans: It’s still not too late to enter the designer’s contest for a $1,000 shopping spree.)

If you plan to hit up The Attic at Hysteria, which, per usual, has massive discounts on designer clothes, bags and accessories, don’t leave Alexandria before checking out the sale items at Silver Parrot Jewelry Boutique, too.

And, don’t forget to include nearby Arlington in your plans, as well, as Farinelli’s 4th of July sale is a must! Save 65 percent on spring/summer fashions and 50 percent on denim in-store, as well as online with the codes “FOURTHOFJULY” and “FOURTHOFJULYDENIM”.

Yet another store calling your name  … Lord & Taylor is offering 20 to 30 percent off their online selection; that’s with the code “JULY4″.  And, don’t forget about  swimwear savings of up to 50 percent! Plus, here’s a coupon for 20 percent off in-store merchandise.

Are shoes and accessories what you’re after? You can save 30 percent on Steve Madden shoes and bags plus ship them for free with the code “SPIN30″ until July 5.  And, just a little heads-up: Stylish heels like the trufle come in a variety of summer colors.

If only the top designers will do, here’s a real treat: Save 40 percent off already-reduced Cusp merchandise in stores, plus receive free shipping on any Cusp.com order with the code “CUSPFS”.  Likewise, save 60 percent on clothing from the Saks Fifth Avenue during the designer sale.

Then again, if you’re hoping to find some fabulous deals on furniture, consider Frontgate. You can receive $50 off the website’s Zen Conversational Seating Furniture collection, including outdoor furnishings and pool essentials.

Could the kiddos use some cool new clothes? The American Eagle Outfitter’s summer collection is up to 70 percent off, and shipping is free all week online.

And, don’t forget about the many semi-annual sales going on now, too. A few great examples:  This season’s essentials from South Moon Under are 50 percent off.  And, Bath and Body Works is offering “buy three, get three free” on their signature collection of fragrances, as well as free hand sanitizer with any in-store purchase.

Still, that’s not all. Feel free to share the scoop on any of your favorite holiday bargains!
