Mark Your Calendar!

Founded in 2009 by Vogue , the Council of Fashion Designersof America, retailer NYC & Co. and the city of New York, Fashion's Night Out (FNO) is a fashionista's dream come true.This year, events will take place from New York to South Korea, and everywhere in between...including DALLAS!

The party kicks off at 6:00, and stores from Uptown to Plano will keep the music pumping and champagne flowing until 10:00. (Never too early to start for Christmas, right? I've been a very good girl this year.) But there's plenty more to keep you entertained: fashion shows, a styling competition, exclusive merchandise, and appearances galore. The list of events is lofty, so here's a taste via the team at FD Luxe.

Highland Park Village:
Slip on your red soles and check out the collection at the newly opened Christian Louboutin . Stop by Ralph Lauren to talk trends with hosts Heather Washburne and Elisa Summers, and FD Luxe editor Tracy Achor Hayes. Have your picture snapped for the chance to win an $1,800 wardrobe in Anne Fontaine's FNO most- fashionable contest. Hit up Chanel to have your nails lacquered with the label's exclusive FNO nail polish by technicians from neighboring Frédéric Fekkai.

Downtown/Uptown:
Stanley Korshak will host Abi Ferrin with her fall collection and FD Luxe photographers Anthony Chiang and Richard Krall for live photo shoots. At Forty Five Ten grab a glass of Fashion Punch from Kim Dawson Agency models, then head to the photo booth with your new limited-edition Herff Christiansen scarf.

Northpark:
Look for celebrity judges Jacquelin Sewell, Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, FD's Jason Sheeler and Dallas Maverick Jason Terry at Neiman Marcus. The fashion-savvy four will choose the winner of NM's "So you think you can style?" contest, who are competing for the opportunity to assist on an FD Luxe fashion shoot.

Shoppers who spend $1,000 or more at participating stores get a gift bag along with $100 in NorthPark Gold. The Fashionistas host cocktails (and earn 20 percent of sales) at Barneys New York. Enjoy champagne and truffles at David Yurman, or if you're on the hunt for the official Fashion's Night Out tee (40 percent of proceeds benefit the NYC AIDS Fund) check out one of my fav stores, Henri Bendel or Nordstrom. Henri Bendel will also offer a very limited-edition "Swarovski Crystallized" version of the tee.

Galleria:
Stylists at the Saks Fifth Avenue spa and salon will offer complimentary rock 'n' roll blow-outs, and jewelry designer Deborah Gaspar will make an appearance with her fall 2010 collection.

Willow Bend:
Neiman Marcus hosts three separate runway shows - a fall trend roundup at 6 p.m. (appetizers by Sambuca 360), a men's show featuring Ermenegildo Zegna at 7 p.m. (appetizers by Dish), and a Boot Camp accessories show at 8 p.m. (appetizers by Cyclone Anaya's). The store also hosts an after-party and screening of The September Issue at Angelika Film Center at the Shops at Legacy.
