New York City and all of its retailers are gearing up for all of the Fashion’s Night Out events tonight. Many designers and brands have offered up some great prizes including tickets to their runway shows!
Simply stop by any participating location and fill out a sweepstakes card. You’ll automatically be entered into the SHOP FOR GOOD in-store sweepstakes to win one of the great prizes.
J.Crew and Madewell 1937 are both offering gift cards worth $250. What a fun prize!
And it’s not too late to get your Fashion’s Night Out tee.
Limited edition. Four tiers of delicate Chantilly lace in a vintage-inspired color exclusive to J.Crew. Wear it with or without the silk sash—the result is equally breathtaking. Rayon/nylon. Removable silk charmeuse belt ties at waist. Side-seam button closure. Fully lined. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.
The Tiered Lace Cami from J.Crew is a piece from the Fall 2009 Collection. (You can view it in the Fall 2009 Lookbook.)
The cami retails for a whopping $795 and is nearly sold out online. As of this writing, only sizes 6 & 8 are still available. I am guessing the item will be available at the J.Crew Collection store on Madison Avenue.
But for the price, it’s certainly an investment piece and a pass for me. Below are some great alternatives for much less!
What are your thoughts on the cami? Are you surprised that it is almost SOLD OUT?
Jennifer Garner was recently spotted out and about with her daughter. For the casual day out, she was wearing the J.Crew slub cotton stamped paisley tee.
Britney Spears was also recently spotted in J.Crew. She wore the solid twisted-front bikini on vacation.

If you love the Silk-ribbon chain-link necklace from J.Crew, Forever 21 has a similar version for much less. Hey, nothing wrong with saving a few dollars here and there!
We all know that the First Family loves J.Crew. For the Inaugural activities earlier this year, the entire family sported J.Crew. The family recently headed to Moscow and the two little girls were both spotted in J.Crew. See the video above and the accompany article from the Politico for more information.
J. Crew hawks first daughter clothes
By Carol E. Lee
J.Crew is using Sasha and Malia Obama to market some of its spring and summer styles, in a press release sent …
… to reporters Monday afternoon titled “The Obama Girls Bring Some American Style to Moscow.”
“Malia & Sasha wore J.Crew and crewcuts as they exited Air Force One in Moscow — stylish in their trenches, they also accessorized with ballet flat shoes,” the release says.
The notice includes two photographs of Sasha and Malia deplaning Air Force One with their parents and an image of the J.Crew logo.
It also offers details about the specific items each of the Obama daughters wore on the way to Moscow and after their arrival, including the prices and style numbers for each piece.
In the past, first lady Michelle Obama has publicly credited J.Crew a number of times for designing her duds, including the yellow sweater-set and skirt she famously wore on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” during the campaign. And the company took credit for creating the coats and gloves the first daughters wore during the Inauguration.
The press release marks one of the few times the Obama girls, whose public appearances the president and first lady keep tightly controlled, have been highlighted in a marketing campaign to sell specific products or labels.
Earlier this year, the first lady smacked down the company that makes Beanie Babies for modeling two new dolls after her daughters: Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia.
“We believe it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes,” Michelle Obama’s spokeswoman said in a statement at the time, and the company pulled them from the shelves.
The first lady’s office did not immediately respond to an e-mail asking if Michelle Obama had approved the marketing materials. Heather Lynch McAuliffe, the vice president of J.Crew public relations, said the White House did not approve the release before she sent it.
The first family is traveling abroad this week, as President Barack Obama meets with leaders in Russia, at the G-8 Summit in Italy and then in Ghana.
Moscow is the first stop, and according to J.Crew, Sasha and Malia Obama dressed for the occasion as follows:
