FNO 2012 at Northpark (So Excited!)

FNO 2012 is finally here, and I have a feeling this year is going to be even more fabulous than last!  In 2011, I admired Jan Strimple's extravagant quarter-mile runway and got the opportunity to interview her!  Interviewing such a major fashion icon was an experience I will never forget, I was so honored.  

I ran into Ms. Strimple last month while working in the Nordstrom shoe department.  She stopped by after going to a meeting to plan FNO.  When I saw her, I hurriedly finished helping my customer so I could say hi.  I tried my best to keep my cool (after all, I have to look like a professional salesgirl!).  I offered to help her find some shoes, but she was searching for the perfect, non-matronly heel... such a challenge to find!   This year, Ms. Strimple is producing fashion shows at the Galleria, Northpark, and Highland Park Village. 

Since I did FNO at the Galleria Dallas last year, I'm hanging out at Northpark Center to see the runway shows at 6:00 and 7:00, featuring some of my faves - Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.  Check out Northpark's FNO brochure for all the details.  

Dallas super-blogger Cynthia Smoot is partnering with Northpark this year and is offering a seriously enviable swag bag.  If you're going to be at Northpark tonight, share your FNO experience on Facebook and Twitter.  On Facebook, include @Northpark Center in your post.  Tweet @NorthparkCenter with hashtag #NPCFNO.  I'm sure stylistas will be fighting over this prize.  See the specifics on her blog, Oh So Cynthia!

One of my favorite parts of FNO is the official t-shirt.  Don't forget to grab one tonight before they're gone!  And stay tuned for FNO 2012 coverage on Small 4 Style!
