Allowing the clothes to be the stars of the evening certainly has its merits, but we’d be lying if we didn’t admit that we’re pretty excited about the madness that will surely accompany the more inclusive New York event. In Paris, there was champagne, cotton candy and chocolate fondue depending on which store you stopped at, but New York promises to pull out all the stops: celebrities, designers and shopping specials to go along with your champagne.

Still, everyone has a different shopping personality. An Olsen twin and throngs of fans waiting for an opportunity to meet their favorite designer might be a dream shopping trip for some, and an absolute nightmare for others. With that in mind, we’ve gone through the hundreds of events on the Fashion’s Night Out website so far and narrowed them down to the top 10 events by shopping personality. Today, we take a look at the must-attend events for those who like a bit of celebrity with their shopping. In the coming days, we’ll cover events for those who prefer something more low key, downtown style, fashion, fashion and more fashion and the girl who just wants to have fun.

The Starlet

Big and flashy is how you roll. If anyone asks “who are you wearing?” you’ve got a list of famous names on the tip of your tongue. Celebrities, designers and hundreds of adoring fans? You couldn’t come up with a better shopping scenario.

Dolce Vitaâ€s prices normally start around $150 for shoes usually available at higher end stores like Bloomingdaleâ€s, but images of three styles from the exclusive collection are up at Target.com, and their prices are between $29.99 and $34.99. None of the shoes, however, are available just yet. {RackedNY}

The shoes are faux leather, whereas Dolce Vitaâ€s regular collection products are 100 percent authentic, but who could pass up such a bargain? Vegan style shoppers will probably consider that a positive, and for the price it wouldn’t be too expensive to grab a second pair in case the first wears out.

We especially like the Buckle Ankle Boot – cute, and they look comfortable, and the studded shoes (metallic flats and black brogues) would be good basics to carry over into fall. Will launching the shoes exclusively at one Target store pay off in the long run though? We get that itâ€s supposed to drive people to the new Target location (New York Cityâ€s first, BTW), but we donâ€t think women will be flocking to East Harlem for the sake of a good deal on new Dolce Vita shoes considering the array of other designer capsule collections in such a wide range of stores these days. On the other hand, the Liberty of London pop-up sold out in record time (less than 24hours), and the new East Harlem store is expected to be around a tad longer so perhaps it will be a good way to get off on a good foot.

Diane Von Furstenberg is the queen of the wrap dress, and this Steele Cotton-Linen one is for a girl with job confidence. Available at Bloomingdales.com for $375, the classic look is one you can wear for years to come.

Edun founder Ali Hewson, who also happens to be the wife of U2 front man Bono, signed a deal with LVMH to merge the companies a year ago and since then has parted ways with former designer Rogan Gregory. The merger with LVMH brought more cash into the company, which resulted in the hiring of new creative director Sharon Wauchob. {Fashionista}

Hewson said Edun took some time to “ramp up the team, get the new collection out and start fresh” after signing on with LVMH.

Of the new menswear collection, she said she particularly likes the hemp suits and jackets for summer.

“I love that the clothes fit,” she said. “We’ve had some beautiful styles before but we’ve struggled with the fit. With the sourcing that we have now, the clothes are coming in fitting and just looking great.” {Stylelist}

The first Edun Pre-fall menswear collection with the Paris-based, Irish born Wauchob at the helm is the beginning of a few planned steps forward for the brand. Next week on June 9, Hewson and Barneyâ€s Fashion Director Julie Gilhart will launch a Pre-fall “Grow to Sew” womenâ€s collection at Barneyâ€s. {Edun Live}

The collection is all about Africa, with t-shirts made on the continent and an African-themed launch event where guests will be able to have a member of the Edun design team customize t-shirts on the spot. All proceeds from t-shirt sales will go to the Conservation Cotton Initiative (CCI) in Uganda, an organic farming program created by Edun and the Wildlife Conservation Society to build sustainable farming communities.

The new womenâ€s collection will also re-launch at Liberty of London and Merci in Paris later this month. Even more exciting: Wauchob’s designs for Edun are slated to appear on the New York runway this September. Canâ€t wait!

This week Tim Burton’s new rendition of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, starring Johnny Depp, was released in theaters and this gave big name retailers a fun muse for this season’s windows.

The much-anticipated film is one that generations of people can relate to from childhood, appealing to a large demographic. The scenery from the movie (mostly taking place in foliage as Alice is shrunken by magical mushrooms in the forest) is the perfect backdrop to display all that spring has to offer. The scenes are whimsical and magical, truly capturing the fairy-tale essence of the out-of-this-world story.

Store windows aren’t the only translation into fashion the film has inspired. New ‘Alice’ inspired  jewelry, footwear and apparel are surfacing all over the globe, as well as fashion events from Paris to New York. Numerous couture designers have admitted to using the film for inspiration in designing this season’s collections and you can catch Wonderland influenced offerings in everything from shoes to nail polish. {Real Style Network}

What would Alice wear on a modern trip to Wonderland? These are our picks.

If you need just a tad more reality during your daily excursions down the rabbit hole of ordinary life, Signature9 UK rounds up a selection of dresses and accessories that capture a sense of wonder.

It’s impossible to break out apparel shoppers for department store sites (many of which also sell home and garden items), so it should be noted than not every visitor browsing macys.com is there for clothing, beauty or jewelry items. But even if half of the visitors are there for dresses instead of dishes, Macy’s is attracting one of the largest (and richest) online shopping audiences.

Our data is from Google’s Ad Planner, which only offers visitor and demographic information going back one year. We can’t say if the economy has played a role in shifting online shopping preferences, but presently, wealthy online shoppers aren’t visiting luxury destinations in the same volume as they visit e-commerce sites with mid-level pricing. A possible silver lining for sites specializing in luxury sales: while they may not get the same volume of traffic, it’s quite possible that high end e-commerce sites earn more per sale and visitor.

Of the top 20 apparel e-commerce sites attracting the largest number of wealthy online shoppers, 6 (30%) are sites specializing in discount sales. Gilt and Rue La La are neck and neck for the title of the invitation sale site with the wealthiest visitors. Allowing for a small sampling error, the two sites could even reach the same number of wealthy visitors. The advantage, however, goes to Gilt Groupe, who attracts a combined 1.2 million visitors across the main Gilt site, and recently launched sister (and brother) sites Gilt Fuse and Gilt Man. Combined, Gilt Groupe attracts more visitors earning $100,000 or more than any other online only e-commerce apparel site besides Zappos. Pretty impressive for a company that’s not even 3 years old.

When it comes to visitors earning $100k or more per year, invitation sale sites may not have as many visitors as department stores, but as a percentage of visitors, a sizable portion are in this desirable online shopper demographic.
