Outside Saks, destination #2 of the night. I briefly stopped at Henri Bendel, which was far too crowded. Nothing too special about this outfit, just one of my standard monochrome creations. I love this skirt and probably wear it too much. One day it’s just going to completely fall apart.

Nnenna in the middle of the Helmut Lang racks at Saks, where I paused us so I could look at new fall pieces. I completely forgot Anna Wintour and Oscar de la Renta were going to be there and we had a huge fashion moment when Anna Wintour stepped off the elevator, turned, and looked directly at us with none of her security in the way. We sort of chased her into the accessories department, where Nnenna got a better photo than I did (so you should go see hers).
Nnenna and me in the mirror at Arrojo! After Saks we took the train downtown to meet some of our blogger friends for the Socialyte FNO event.
We had our hair done while sipping cocktails made with Stoli Salted Karamel. If my hair ever gets long enough I’d love to do cool braids like this. I’m so desperately overdue for a cut right now.
It’s kind of a tradition for me to creep on whatever accessories Chris is wearing. Isn’t this belt amazing?
Portrait (but zeroing in on the accessories, of course).
Ashley, Nnenna, and Tessa.
A very dark photo of Nicole and Ashley. I have some silly friends. By 9pm we were starving, so we went for Thai before continuing on to the Socialyte afterparty at RSVP.
Nnenna and I had to walk back through SoHo to get the train, which honestly… I won’t be doing again. I felt that parts of SoHo were definitely unsafe last year, and this year was even worse. Next year I’m just going to avoid the area.

Oh Alex, you look stunning. You are one of my fave blogs to visit bc you always look so chic! Funny enough, I saw Anna Wintour last FNO. She really makes the rounds. It’s always exciting to catch a glimpse of fashion royalty.

Star-crossed smile you might need to change your notifications settings? I don’t know.
Delayed Missives says
Star-crossed smile Weird. I’m actually not sure if it alerts me either, but I think I haven’t been tagged in like 5 months… hahahahhaa.
Star-crossed smile says
Also, Facebook doesn’t alert me when I’m tagged… #fail.
Jamillah says
Cuuuuuuuuties!!! I’m glad you were able to enjoy FNO even with the cab escapades.
Nnenna says
Yeah, Soho was not the best area to be in during FNO- did you hear about the riot?
Jamillah says
YES! I heard about the riots, people jumping on cars acting crazy. I think this season is going to change FNO a lot. Super sad town.

the back of the shirt is certainly something special!

Alex Elizabeth says
Next year! Or… we should try for a fall or winter meetup :)
Kimberlee VDW says
Aw bummed I couldn’t join you ladies. Love your all black look ;)
Alex Elizabeth says
Me too! The Anna Wintour moment was pretty cool.
christine says
Looks like a fun night out except for the walking in obscure parts of Soho. Wished that CT had some special events similar to NY – but alas I will just live vicariously through you photos :)
Alex Elizabeth says
You should come for NYFW one year… although you can probably skip FNO, which is honestly not the greatest. Too many drunk high school kids wandering around.
