PARTY: Ann Taylor First Look
VENUE: New Ann Taylor Concept Store | 600 N. Michigan Avenue
DATE: Friday, March 2
THE LURE: Bright! Bold! And Beautiful! Those words were on the lips of the lucky ducks who had a chance to take a sneak peek at the new Ann Taylor concept store this past Friday. The party, in partnership with CS Magazine and Step Up Women’s Network, brought together a host committee to be (fashionably) reckoned with: J. Lynne Bredfeldt, Kristen Field, Isaiah Freeman-Schub, Corri McFadden, Samantha Saifer Berngard, Daphne Ortiz and Erica Strama. Music by DJ Megan Taylor rounded out the night and we caught up with Ann Taylor Style Director Andrew Taylor on The G&F Blog (and check out our Spring Picks, too!). Don’t want the fun to end? Head to the store this Saturday, March 10th from 1-5pm for a grand opening celebration including sweets, raffles and a gift with any purchase over $100. Oh, Ann, you shouldn’t have!  >>
