Fashionistas everywhere, take note. Fashion's Night Out is returning once again tonight with block parties, cool clothes and celebrity appearances. Even better? Many of the evening's events will benefit a charitable cause in some form or fashion. Gotta love that.

Born and bred in New York City in 2009, Fashion's Night Out (FNO) was created to get people of New York shopping once again, helping the economy recover and generating funds for worthy causes. Thanks to its success, the event has taken on ginormous proportions this year with mini-versions being hosted in 27 cities across the U.S. and in 15 countries around the world. I'd have to guess that Vogue editor Anna Wintour, FNO's brainchild, couldn't be happier.

Don't live in NYC?

No problem. Visit FNO's website to find an event near you. For those in NYC this evening, visit FNO's event listing page to find out which events have a charity tie-in.
