Fashions Night Out (also known as ‘FNO’) is certainly one of the most celebrated nights of Fashion in New York City. It was a privilege attending Shop Addicts Beauty Binge on September 8th, and we certainly had our fill! Shop Addict’s Beauty Binge drew a sold out crowd of NYC’s most notable fashionistas and kicked off fashion week with the unveiling of the Indie Show. With every inch covered in goodies, we were like kids in a candy store! What made the evening more special, was that it was all to benefit Project Ladybug, a foundation founded by Dina Manzo to enrich the lives of children with life threatening conditions.
With so many vendors to choose from, we started at the Cozy Corporation, the table was laced with gorgeous head pieces and jewelry, all just in time for Fall! We then Met Alyse Kenny, comedian and jewelry designer of Jokes & Jewelry. We moved onto Jewelry Bar and marveled at the beautiful leather trend designs. We stopped at the So.Cap.Hair Extensions boutique to dazzle up our do’s with red crystal extensions. Then before we headed downstairs to visit Adorn New York, Gifted Hands and Gregory Purcell,we stopped for some delicious grub by Fabulous Foods and Kissing Cake.
Shop Addicts is always an exciting event, and we are proud to support all of their Beauty Binge Expos because they are setting the ‘beauty’ bar on how to shop for a cause. We were all impressed and mesmerized by the market of every beauty supply need you could ask for, but what we will truly remember is their support for Project Ladybug.
