FNO Countdown: Fashionable Sips

Thursday, August 30, 2012



As a shopping blitz readies to hit across the island next Thursday when The Jamaica Observer Celebrates Fashion's Night Out (FNO), the year's most fashionable night of the year has been made even more fabulous thanks to signature cocktails created by FNO sponsor J Wray and Nephew. The Spanish Court Hotel's spa deck was the meeting point Tuesday last for a number of sponsors including Victoria Mutual Building Society, National Commercial Bank and of course, Wray and Nephew, to exchange ideas on stylish retail endroits over sips of Absolut Fashion, Lycheetini and and Lipstick on the Collar cocktails. Cheers to another fab evening of retail therapy!
