“Fashion has always fascinated me,” states Jodi Stewart as she nestles into the high chair inside the Gallery Café at the Spanish Court Hotel, where she and six other fabellas are making Fashion’s Night Out plans over Appleton Reserve Voguista cocktails.

Her fellow chicsters are: Arnella Chin, Traci Stewart, Martine ‘Krissy’ Morgan, Ce’Cile Charlton, Krystal Chong and Timberlee Heaven, and they’re super excited about the prospects of a five-hour shopping spree. What with the ‘urban legends’ of friends nabbing killer deals during FNO ’09, the desire is to “gain that kind of luck by starting early this year”.

The buzzword for these ladies is “Bijoux” where the promise of owning a fab Pandora bracelet awaits.

There is, too, the bounty of stylish outfits perfectly hung in stores of the Mall, Tropical and Village plazas just waiting to be slipped into. But don’t take our word for it, here’s theirs:

ARNELLA

“I love, love the bargains I got last year at Foot Candy — the shoes were amazing — and Flirt in Manor Park. And, of course, having nice cocktails to offer customers always makes the shopping experience more enjoyable.”

KRISSY

“I’m setting up home, so naturally, Island Art and Framing will be among the places I’m hitting. And I hear Bijoux will be a part, so I’m excited about that as well.”

JODI

“Last year, I was working during FNO… this year, I’m hitting the road early and I’m starting at Bijoux.”

TIMBERLEE 

“I’m looking forward to spending money! I enjoy shopping at kerry manwomanhome as much as I do downtown, although it is not quite the same experience… I’ll be wherever there’s hot fashion!”

TRACI

“OMG, it’s September, but I’m starting my Christmas shopping from then… Flirt and Bijoux are my two places!”

KRYSTAL

“I was away last year, but definitely I’ll be all over… who doesn’t love a great deal?”

CE’CILE

I usually shop abroad, but if I’m not travelling I’ll be heading to kerry manwomanhome, and I’ll be making stops in certain stores signing autographs and sharing style tips.”
