New York Fashion Week Has Arrived! But the Weekend Festivities Begin Here...

By CoutureJive

 

 I have been counting down to this weekend because its going to be Amazing.  Not only does it mark the beginning of socialite and "fashionite" mayhem...(Fashion Week!) I am also participating in Susan G. Komen's Race For The Cure in Greater New York, and I get to honor the memory of my darling grandmother!  Not to mention that I have the cutest running outfit sisters!

While I prepare for my race here are a few list of fave events for you to participate in.  Not only are these events fashionably fun, one of them is actually making a difference in our world with fashion!  So we send love and kudos to Designer Steven Alan for being...fashionably and charitably Awesome.

To do on Friday:

1. Designer Steven Alan and Goods for Good are teaming up to host a good-inspiring event for Fashion's Night Out.  Designers Steven Alan, Geren Ford, Soludos, Relwen, Rag and Bone and more are highlighting special items from each of their collections to benefit Goods for Good; 20% of the proceeds from these items will benefit G4G’s Tailor-in-Training program, which creates school uniforms from donated fabrics for orphans and vulnerable children in Malawi.  I think this may be one of my new fave charitable organizations.  For more information visit www.goods4good.org

2. Burton Snowboards is hosting a great event celebrating their first participation in Fashion Week (ever).  They will be giving away a $500 shopping spree, this is worth passing by just for a chance for a shopping spree!  Must look cute when the slopes open!  Maybe this year I'll get my pink snowboard...

3. A goofy fun event, is look for Ken night.  Yes, we all want to find our real manly Ken who will treat us like a Queen...but in the mean time, we're going to have to settle for following this little guy around and having a few laughs in between.

Fashion’s Night Out in a Ken-tastic, glass-walled truck. Throughout the night you can track Ken's whereabouts via Facebook, Twitter and foursquare.  He will be showing up for photo opps at different stops including SoHo and Fifth Avenue, ultimately, his Ken-Tastic Truck ends the night with a bang in the Meatpacking District.  Don’t miss the chance to see the “real” Ken dressed for six different dream dates…remember, dolls, plastic boyfriends last forever!  Make sure to send us your photo; we'll make that bitch Barbie jealous!
