Celebrate Fashion Tonight
jeudi 10 septembre 2009 
Tonight is the night when Vogue celebrates fashion around the world. In Paris, Carine Roitfeld and Karl Lagerfeld will anchor the Chanel store in what promises to be a unique shopping experience. Here is the news item from Vogue Paris regarding tonight as well as my attempt at translation.
Soutenir l'univers de la mode contre vents et crise : toutes les éditions internationales de Vogue sont d'accord qui, chacune à sa manière, se mobilise dans cette optique-là. Côté Vogue France, l'engagement prend des allures d'événement chic et ludique, le magazine ayant décidé de se livrer corps et âme à une déclaration de style lors d'une soirée déroulée le 10 septembre prochain au cœur du triangle d'or parisien. Le principe : un shopping orchestré par les rédactrices du journal (au premier rang desquelles Carine Roitfeld), présentes sur le terrain, prêtes à dégainer sélection de looks coup de cœur et conseils personnalisés. De Chanel à Prada, de Dolce & Gabbana à Ralph Lauren ou Gucci, de Balenciaga à Versace, de Nina Ricci à Dior... Le parcours devrait relever de la plus belle chasse aux trésors de glamour et d'élégance et, à l'arrivée, ne compter que des gagnants. Vogue Fashion Celebration Night, le 10 septembre de 18 heures à 23 heures, avenue Montaigne, avenue George V et rue François 1 lr, 75008 Paris.

Tonight's the night!
Kate, what was it like in New York? I hope that you made it to Chanel to see Alexa Chung's set... and that you found a few treasures to add to your collection...

AWW. No, no Chanel, unfortunatly. A fleeting glimpse of Rachel Zoe headed into Missoni, and a brief stop at Takashimaya, the best Japanese luxury store in NY! :) And you?
Cool! I have no real fashion excitement or celebrity sightings to report myself. Unbelievably I am also STILL waiting for the leather skirt and lace tights to arrive from Topshop... what is taking soooo long?!
I bet you weren't the only one to order that leather skirt and those lace tights--my guess, the dreaded backorder. At least you've got some new aquisitions on the way. Not me. All I got was a free glass of Presecco! :)
I know, Kate! That's exactly what I am afraid of. I really dislike that I can't actually track the package from the web site either. This may be my first and last order from Topshop online. Complimentary sparkling wine sounds much nicer!

Kate, the package finally came, YAAAAY!!!! The skirt fits perfectly and you can zip it from the top or bottom, I am thrilled with it. Though it took long enough, it was sooooo worth it! I had to run off for a tennis date but I'll try the tights and report back soon. They look good in the package...
The tights are gorgeous! They do look a bit like the ones in Vogue Paris I think, though they are actual tights not thigh highs. I think I'll have to wear these tomorrow.
