Just when you thought there was no earthly reason to continue your downward spiral into credit card debt oblivion, the wonderful world of fashion has come up with a pretty good reason to celebrate shopping and all that is fab about fashion.
Yes those clever marketing fashionistas have put together another 'Fashion's Night Out'. With Vogue's Anna Wintour as the lynch pin behind this scheme, the event goes global with a frenzied fashion fest set to kick off from London to Taiwan.
Set this year in New York for September 10th, the night is billed as 'Shopping for something good'. Stores stay open till 11pm whilst Designers mingle with staff and celebrity stylists to give the whole thing that authentic block party feel.
This time around, to celebrate the move of Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week to the Lincoln Centre, there will also be a public fashion show on September 7th. It promises to give us a snapshot of this season's trends, so you'll be armed with the nouse ready to hit the stores on the 10th.
CBS.com are live streaming the show if you can't quite get there and then there's even a screening of the making of the event on Sept 14th. That's before we've even got to the 'Collection' clothes that you can snap up online or on the night - blimey it's making my head spin just thinking about it.
If you're lucky enough to get one of the 1500 tickets at a mere $25 you're sure to have a blast.
You can even hit the Fashion's Night Out web page to start planning your shopping spree with a handy Google map gadget that helps you figure how long it's going to take you to hobble in those Louboutins from Soho to Midtown.
With thousands of stores signed up so far it might be worth holding back on the spending for the next few weeks in order to build up a slush fund for the big night.
I am happy to give peeps a reason to spend money any old day ;-)
