Have you Shecky-d?

I forgot to mention that I made my bi-annual trip to Shecky's Girl's Night Out. It's a great way to find out about both local and up-and-coming clothing and jewelry designers--for a fraction of the cost--with goodie bags and free drinks!

Spring's shopping event was held at F.I.G. in downtown Dallas. Though it was a little difficult to get to, the Fashion Institute Gallery is certainly one of the cooler modern spaces nestled into the heart of the city. We were greeted by security, photographed on the pink carpet (pic to come soon!), and got our pre-ordered tickets and wristbands. We walked in to a shopper's paradise! Women were certainly the en masse, Shecky's staff members and drink waiters were all men-and didn't seem to mind being out numbered! The goodie bags were worth every penny of admission, and came in great Louis Vuitton-inspired nylon zipper bags (hello: grocery bag!). We wandered around and I rediscovered the joys of browsing and shopping-without-intent-of-purchase. It was lovely! My girlfriend picked up a cute silver cocktail dress (that I'll have to borrow, in exchange for her picking through cocktail-gate '08) from a local designer. All in all, with the XRated Flirtinis and committment free perusal of wears, it was a delightful evening!

Check out their website and see if there is an event near you!
