Now in its fourth year, the internationally celebrated Fashion’s Night Out commences tomorrow evening. Milwaukee, for the first time an officially registered city thanks to a letter from Mayor Tom Barrett, will host a slew of parties and pop-ups all over the metro area. Here are a few highlights: 

Start the night: At Mequon’s scavenger hunt, where you can go store to store answering clues for a chance to win two round-trip airfare tickets to New York for the Fall 2013 fashion shows. A list of participating retailers can be found here

Then head Downtown: Where a whole host of stores are planning to offer freebies, giveaways, and of course, cocktails. For the official list of participating stores head on over here. Select “WI” and “Milwaukee” to see the menu of stores. 

As for the after party: Word on the street (the street named “Facebook”) is that Whiskey Bar is hosting a FNO after party. All the necessary details are here.  

The next day: A free makeover from Bare Escentuals? Yes, please. Though not exactly Fashion’s Night Out, Bayshore Town Center’s Shop and Dine Week kicks off the following day. The mega mall will offer all kinds of steals and deals throughout the week. For a full list head here


The only question we can’t answer is what you’ll wear, so get planning. 

*Unrelated to FNO, yet timely: street-style icon and editor-at-large for Vogue Japan, Anna Dello Russo has designed a fantastically gaudy collection for H&M that will be available in stores Oct. 4. Exciting, yes – but we would have appreciated her extravagant stylings for tomorrow’s affairs.
