Updates: Fashion's Night Out Itinerary!

The time is fast approaching! I can't believe it's September already. Where did the summer go? It's early September and you know what that means - Fashion Week is coming whoo!! It's actually next week and I can't wait. I was chosen to volunteer for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week so I can't wait to see what's in store underneath the tents.

Not only am I bubbling with excitement about Fashion Week, but I cannot WAIT for Fashion's Night Out on September 10th. It will be epic. I'm inviting all my friends to come out for all the great events, free giveaways performances and T-shirt signings. Should be fun. As promised, here's a list of my tentative activities that night. In no way, shape or form am I going to be able to cover all these spots but I can dream right? Here are my top picks for places I plan to hit up on Fashion's Night Out:
