We’ve been counting down the days until September 6, when the spectacular Fashion’s Night Out shopping extravaganza hits Toronto. With so many incredible events on the official FNO schedule, the task of planning which to hit up, and when, can be daunting. Between shopping parties in Bloor-Yorkville, Queen West and beyond, there are plenty of must-visit destinations throughout the evening, but only one place to be to start your night off right: Toronto Eaton Centre.
TEC is pulling out all the stops for the shopping centre’s very first time participating in Fashion’s Night Out. Not only will its doors remain open until 11pm for all your late night shopping needs at selected retailers, but it will also be kicking off its night of FNO festivities with a fashion show. Featuring the latest fall arrivals from Gap, Juicy Couture and Stuart Weitzman, the show starts at 7:30pm at Centre Court, and you won’t want to miss it.
We know we don’t! The Backseat Stylers will be right there in the mix, live-tweeting during the show and as we shop at some of our favourite TEC retailers. We’ll also be giving away official Fashion’s Night Out merchandise over Twitter. Intrigued? Then make sure your fashionable self is at Centre Court between 7-8pm with smartphone in hand, and be ready to tweet at @toeatoncentre and @backseatstylers using the #FNO_Toronto hashtag for a chance to win 1 of 24 prizes available.
Is all of this feeling a little like the holidays have come early this year? Because there’s more. We’ve teamed up with Toronto Eaton Centre to give one very lucky reader of The Backseat Stylers a fabulous shopping experience that will make this Fashion’s Night Out even more epic than it already promises to be! Here’s what’s up for grabs:

- Style consultation with The Backseat Stylers (we’ll happily help you spend that $400 gift card!)
Want in on this incredible prize pack? Contest rules are below. Good luck everyone!
In the meantime, don’t forget to stop by Toronto Eaton Centre for a swanky new FNO outfit. S paid TEC a visit this past weekend and picked up a printed Clover Canyon number from Mendocino that she’ll be sporting on the big night. What will you be wearing to the Fashion’s Night Out festivities at Toronto Eaton Centre? We can’t wait to see. It’s a date!

I would spend $200 of it on Urban Herbavoire cupcakes, and the rest of it at the Nike store, on sneakers, to burn it off. It’s all about balance

I’d finally buy some designer jeans with the $400!

I would get all new fall fashion outfits that could be used for winter as well. Jeans, boots, jackets, coats, sweaters, tights, scarfs. Since I out grew ( gained some junk in the trunk ) I don’t have as many jeans that fit anymore like I use to have. I would have the best pamper day ever!
I would love to update my Fall/Winter wardrobe and maybe buy a really warm coat since I heard it’ll be a cold winter.
wow! seriously? definitely gonna tweet about this and share “the-chance-to-win” with others!
I would use the $400 gift card to update my wardrobe, to more of a versatile style in the closet. So I can wear more of my clothing in many different styles and ways. Also I would like to change up my style into a more young adult/adult look. Rather than contuning to wear my high school clothes (graduated 3years ago)
I’d buy much needed makeup and maybe a gift for my sister!
tweeted! If I will I’ll get some more mature, sophisticated & stylish clothes since most of my clothes are casual and street-style from when I was younger. If there’s anything leftover then I’d get a facial and grab dinner.
I would definitely find some deals during #FNO_Toronto
I would definitely find a new stylish scarf, maybe a haircut, some new shoes. Whole new me!! Bring it on. I need some pampering and style!!

I would buy something (anything!) from the new Massimo Dutti store. Love!

I would probably spend the majority of it at The Bay. There’s a Pink Tartan dress I’ve had my eye on for a while. I’d be beyond happy to finally own it!
Just retweeted!
Wow, what an amazing prize package!
I would spend my 400 dollar giftcard on Fall’s most anticipated trends! I am in LOVE with the coated and leather skinnies that are popping up everywhere this season! Jeans, printed denim and coated and leather jeans! I cannot be more excited to rock this look this Fall/Winter!!
I would spend it all st Mendocino
Already have both of the FB pages liked!
With the $400, I’d love to invest in a Smythe peaked lapel blazer or elbow patch tweed jacket! I need a much updated fall wardrobe after returning from mat leave!
Thanks bunches!

I have just put myself out there with a new company – my own biz, and I realize that my wardrobe really just doesn’t cut it. I would spend the $400 on that one killer outfit I need to present myself in a super professional way. If I am lucky and manage to get more outfits out of it – then awesome. It would be fun to have lunch and get some expert advise to create a strong, professional image.
Both pages are liked!

Whoo hoo, fall wardrobe here I come!

I would spend it on something I normally would not purchase because of the price point.
It has been a while since I purchased something ridiculous – when you look past b the fact that I just absolutely love it.
I would spend the $400 shopping for key staple items for the upcoming Fall season. Items that are classic and timeless that can be mixed in with basic and trendy pieces.
I would use the gift certificate to update my wardrobe, after having two babies in three years, I have not done much shopping! And I am still searching for my perfect pair of flats that I just cannot seem to find anywhere…
I also RT’d the extra entry on twitter
I would get a new fall wardrobe for me and the boyfriend.

Stoxking up on fall toppers and accessories!! Oh and shoes!

I follow both @toeatoncentre and @backseatstylers on Twitter and tweeted the giveaway message!
I’d use it to get a gorgeous trench that can last me for years to come!
I would use that $400 for a much needed pair of black boots for the fall!
I would spend the money redoing my wardrobe in time for the cool weather.
Probably on a good pair of fall boots and a cute leather jacket.
everything from H&M! : )
I would love for The Backseat Stylers to help me spend my $400! I am in dire need of some clothes for fall that don’t look like I am going to a yoga class
(tweeted, followed, and faved too!)
Pretty sure if I got a $400 shopping spree at the Toronto Eaton Centre, I could either spend it for a whole new wardrobe or splurge on on fancy purse from Michael Kors or Coach! Both are tempting options.
Thank you and good luck to all!

I’d spend the $400 TEC GC on a Modalu London ‘Pippa’ bag and some new cosmetics from MAC and Chanel.

Definitely something for my favourite fashion season (Fall-Winter!) to welcome the incoming crisp air – something tweed??
I would buy some nice designer jeans, boots and a great sweater!
I really need some help for fall! I want to buy a few good classics but am having trouble finding the best items for my shape. Cropped camel pants, a navy blazer, printed blouses, and a structured top in a fall colour are all on my list. Would love the help finding these and actually putting together real, wearable outfits!
I’d spend half the money on my kids because they are my world and buy myself a new purse since I’ve had mine for years and I never spend a penny on myself.
I would spend the $400 on a couple of great Fall pieces for work!
I would invest the money on a great winter coat and a funky pair of boots!!!

I’m in desperate need of shoes!! And with $400, the hunt would definitely begin.
I would spend it on a hot new fall outfit – starting off with some amazing riding boots – I’ve been dying to get my hands on a pair!
Liked on FB and also tweeted: https://twitter.com/deedeemixxx/status/245578926989119488
I would love to spend the gift card on a great leather jacket to update the Fall wardrobe. And maybe a cute peplum top since I’m loving the trend.
My fall wardrobe is in need of a major overhaul! I’d love to meet with the Backseat Stylers and have them style me for fall. I’d like to try and make the most of my gift card with a great pair of fall boots, and a couple outfits by buying some really versatile pieces.
Fingers crossed!
I’ll be heading back to work in Oct after a year long maternity leave hiatus.. I could desperately use the advice of the Backseat Stylers to buy some work wear that fits the new role and body!
I would use the $400 to buy a real winter coat and boots so I don’t freeze this winter!!!
I need a new winter jacket and some boots for fall. So $400 is all going towards that.
Good luck everyone!
Would spend to buy new boots.
I’d spend it on a new fall outfit..starting with a nice trench:)
Hard question – but likely would use the $400 updating my fall wardrobe with wares from Zara, Aritzia, Massimo Dutti, and Lululemon. Although – perhaps a shiny new iPhone would be better?
I would spend it all at Aritzia, Wilfred, & Michael Kors on some fall essentials, like comfy sweaters & a new bag.
I’ve always wanted to walk into an expensive store and just buy something stunning that catches my eye, however I don’t have the means to do so. More than likely I’d spend it on an amazing designer purse like Michael Kors. There’s something empowering about the look and feel of a nice new bag on your shoulder, and I can honestly say if I were to win it would be a dream come true. After all, a fabulous purse is the perfect accessory to compliment any outfit!
I will probably get a more professional-looking winter jacket….rather than showing up to work in my A&F jacket
I would buy a new winter coat. I’ve lost a lot of weight since last winter. And then buy a few books.

I would spend some of the money at the ITunes store getting a new case for both my MacBook and iPhone. Then I would buy some Freshly Squeezed and head over to Forever21 and buy some new clothes. Some weekend clothes and some work related attire. Maybe I’d buy some NY Fries for lunch and depending on how much money I had left. Id buy something somewhere that I would normally not be able to afford. I would also squeeze in something for each of my family members that they would like.
Awesome prize pack!
I would spend it on a shoe and purse update
i’ve spent the last two years upgrading my wardrobe to fit the new jobs and the blog, but i feel like to inspire the people in my life I need to work it from head to toe!

I would treat myself to a pair of rider boots – perhaps from Michael Kors?!
I’d spend the $400 on shoes… lots and lots of fab shoes….

Tweeted! I’d likely spend it alllll at Club Monaco. And there are quite a few things I want, so this gift card would be quite helpful!
I would spend it on some fall blazers and shoes!! <3
Since I’m recently unemployed and would like to take a new direction in life, I’d use this $400 to completely revamp my wardrobe with all the classic pieces (and a few statement items) a respected stylist should own. Forever 21, Zara, Club Monaco, French Connection & Browns would be at the tippy-top of my list of stores to hit.
Will update fall wardrobe with some
…with some warm new fall colours and buy pieces from Sharon’s work wardrobe photo shoot – love her work style!
Oooh! I would use that $400 towards my dream jacket – the Hudson’s Bay legendary stripe winter coat!
Tweeted and Liked! I would spend the cash on some very much required new pants #backtoschoolswag
If I won the $400 I would spend it at the Apple store. I’ve been saving up a long time for a iPad and this would push me over the edge!
I would use the $400 to buy new boots, a new winter coat, new jeans, new runners and new skincare products!! thank you!!

I’d buy a new wardrobe for my son & I! & maybe even a suit for my hubby!!
OK this may sound a bit wasteful and selfish, but I would probably spend it all on the most awesomely gorgeous pair of fall leather boots I could afford. I have never let myself splurge on a luxury pair of boots and this would be the perfect opportunity
Whoops, didn’t realize the contest was over before I posted :’(
Good luck to everyone who entered!
Would do a 50/50 split between Talbots and a pair of great boots.
