fashion forward...

Here's a date that you're going to want to book into your calendar: Fashion Forward, an Uptown Affair will be an exciting, glam evening of shopping with a toast to fashion. There'll be a goodie bags for the first 100 shoppers to meet up at Brunswick Square's Centre Court on the main floor, a toast to the evening with Normand Hector (director of NWH Modelling and Fashion Council Saint John's president), a map to guide you through the evening, and even an after-party at the Canterbury Lounge!

Sponsored by Uptown Saint John, the evening of October 6 will involve a large number of uptown shops staying open late and offering deals, demonstrations, or just something special for their customers! For example, I know that Silver Daisy Designs on King Street is offering something special for their first costumers that evening, hosting a live model (a fashion blogger you may all know!), crackle nail polish demos, and for every $50 you spend in-store that night, you will get a ticket towards the draw for a fabulous Marc Jacobs purse!

So get ready to wear your fall fashion's best and save your spending for Thursday, October 6. I'll be sure to update you as I hear more of what the shops of Uptown have in store for you!
