Many years ago, there used to be this thing call National Fashion's Night Out. It happened in early September, right before New York's Fashion Week. It was a night where all the stores would throw these amazing parties, and I have fond memories of mall-hopping from one end of Michigan Avenue to the other, collecting drinks, food, and amazing swag bags along the way. But then, in 2013, FNO went on hiatus and haven't been back since.
Fortunately, Chicago has a pretty similar alternative. The Magnificient Mile Shopping Festival is happening over Labor Day weekend, Sept 4-7, 2015. The fest is open to all and includes a 5k race, yoga in the court, performances by Cirque du Soleil (Sat, 12pm) and other performers, discounts and perks at shops on the mile, and the biggest of all, a Magnificient Mile Pop-up. I'm really looking forward to the Pop-up; Nordstrom will have a set-up where we can screenprint our own free tote bags, refresh and recharge with beauty samples, and pose in their photobooth. I think I went to something similar last year, but this year's event seem bigger and better than ever. I can't wait!
You guys should check it out too!
