Club Monaco launches at Shopbop today, and they held a preview of the Fall collection last night.  The party was held at the Flagship store in New York City.  This collaboration had been the buzz about town for the last week, and it did not disappoint.  It was a story of military looks and camel colored pieces mixed in with sparkles and embellishment.  This made for the hard and soft aesthetic we all incorporate in our own wardrobes.  The collection is easy to wear, but with tons of style and personality.  If you love accessories you’ll love the butter soft leather gloves and the pearl necklaces to bring charm and whimsy to your style.  Shopbop’s fashion director, Kate Ciepluch, curated the Fall/Holiday 2010 collection we were coveting last night.  Just take a look at the selection above, and now it’s all at your fingertips.

Fashion’s Night Out 2010 was even more fun filled and exciting than last year.  The crowds were bigger, the lines were longer and the patrons were happier.  Bergdorf Goodman was my first stop and I was met by a line that was three rows deep.  I decided to stick around because I was already sold on the canine runway.  On the judging panel was fashion designer Monique Lhuillier and handbag designer Tinsley Mortimer.  Celebrity stylist Robert Verdi hosted the event. 

I did not get to see the entire canine runway unfold because I had to make press check-in at the I Heart Ronson event downtown.  The designer made her appearance with Gossip Girl’s Michelle Tractenberg.  The music was rocking upon entering the event, and I noticed that Ronson’s sister, Samantha, was the D.J.  It was a lovely cupcake and tea social, and a sweet way to end a long day at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Friday, September 10th will be the second year of the global event, Fashion’s Night Out.  It was created to encourage shoppers to go out and patronize their favorite retail establishment.  It’s a night of parties, fun and celebration.  This is the evening when you can actually shop till you drop because some stores will be open as late as 11:00pm.  Below is a list of a few boutiques and department stores where you can engage in some after-work retail therapy in New York City.
