Fashion's Night Out on Abbot Kinney got off to a slow start, but come late night the shops were bustling. LA designer Cynthia Vincent mingled with shoppers at Principessa, where guests dipped into a dish of scrolls for a chance at giveaways and discounts up to 50% off. Partiers peddled gold and silver for cash with Michael Silberman of Gold Party Girls at Heist while passersby stopped to stare at burlesque dancers the Helles Belles. Who better to promote Heist's newly-expanded boudoir area, featuring pretty wares by Xirena, VPL and Jenna Leigh?

Mona Moore celebrated its third year anniversary with cupcakes by Vanilla Bake Shop and drinks while shoppers browsed drool-worthy fall arrivals by Tom Binns, Balenciaga and Maiyet. Strange Invisible Perfumes re-launched its popular fragrance Tribute (available for a limited time) and offered 20% off all jewelry in the store, an FNO special. Gant offered customers 15% off and a chance to win a $1000 shopping spree. All-in-all, shoppers scored big as shops stayed open well into the evening entertaining those who stuck around with late-night toasts and tunes.—Stephanie Quadri
