Toes on the Town: Fashion's Night Out in New York

Fashion's Night Out Fun

Last night, my bright orange Dollhouse "Fina" booties and I partook in the city-wide shopping party known as Fashion's Night Out. The plan was to make at least 6 stops, but when the drinks are flowing, crowds are thick and I have amazing shoes in my sight, it's difficult to move quickly. Nonetheless, I had a great time. Here's are the highlights of my night.

Stop #1: Saks Fifth Avenue

Sergio Rossi Poiret Sandal

Sergio Rossi Lola OTK Boot

Jerome C Rousseau Antinea Bootie

Stop #2: "Byron Lars in Sony 3D"

My Fave look from Beauty Mark by Byron Lars

Macrame shoes... Ooh!

Pineapple yellow heels. YUM!

Xante Liqueur. Tasty!

Stop #3: Cesare Paciotti

Loving these stacked platforms

Electric blue always gives me chills

Ruching and ruffles, oh my!

Fourth and Final Stop: Reed Krakoff

Skankeskin heels on a d'orsay pump. Oww!

Fur open toed booties. Fierce!

I love a boot laced up to the knee.

Shoemongers everywhere know Piperlime.com as a prime online destination for the hottest shoe styles and brands. An inventory of on-trend shoes at a variety of price points, coupled with style picks by celebrity stylist and fashion editor, Rachel Zoe makes the site worth its weight in soles. Those in New York for Fashion Week this September will have the pleasure of actually shopping at a brick and mortar Piperlime store. From September 9, 2010 through October 3, shoppers will have access to not only exclusive styles from some of their favorite brands (think Marc by Marc Jacobs, Frye, Cynthia Vincent, etc.), but also to professional tips on how to wear them. In addition, there will be a style loft in the store, where customers can participate in daily style challenges. To celebrate the opening of the location (93 Mercer St.) and Fashion's Night Out, the store will be open late on September 10. Attendees that night will be able to meet Rachel Zoe and the cast of Project Runway.

Much Ado About Shoes: Fashion's Night Out and Omelle's NY Launch

One Moment in Time

We'd like to take a brief moment of reflection in memory of all those lost on September 11th, 2001 and in honor of those they left behind. It was one of those days around which we gauge other memories, and we can all remember where we were and what we were doing when the attacks took place. Please take a little time today to be thankful for your life and for those you love. As that day reminded us, it can all be snatched away in an instant.

Last night, Vogue, the CFDA and NYC & Company united with New York designers and retailers in an attempt to reignite shoppers' thirst for fashion. Fashion's Night Out was a city-wide celebration of all that's fun, fabulous and even frivolous about retail therapy. (Some stores even sold limited edition T-shirts to benefit the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.) The Shoes & Booze crew was out & about swilling bubbly and swooning over all the chicness. (Those jelly beans at Prada were top-notch!)

The highlight of our night came at Debut NY, where Omelle made its New York debut. Effortless chic and innovative heel design have placed the brand among our favorites, so we were giddy at the chance to meet Cherise Angelle, one of the ladies behind the magic. She's pictured here with Hardy (our fave of the season) and a couple of other styles. (We also heard talk of Pat Field pulling a pair for SATC 2!) Look forward to seeing more Omelle shoes paired with drinks VERY soon.
