When you are young, there is nothing better than a sleepover. Enter adulthood and it’s called Girls’ Night Out or #GNO on Twitter, and usually involves a bar, a few cocktails and some unforgettable moments. Not the freezing your best friend’s bra type of moment of yesterday, but more of the “Did you see Kim make out with that bald man in the bathroom last night?” moment. And now, armed with your iPhone, not only can you capture all the nitty-gritty details, but you can also use sassy apps to spice up your girls’ night out!
Planning an epic night
NFT Chicago City Guide
If you are in charge of planning the venues for your next ladies-only excursion, the best place to start is the Not-for-Tourists series of iPhone apps. I have the NFT Chicago City Guide app ($2.99) and use it all the time for just such occasions. Because you can only go to the same old haunts so many times before the scene starts to get stale, this app is sure to help you and your girls rotate in a few new savvy spots for ladies-only recreation.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
The next best to-do on your list when planning a girls’ night out should be your outfit of course! And the ladies to emulate when it comes to GNO apparel are definitely the ever-fashionable Kardashian sisters. I’m always envious at how different their looks are, but how much alike they appear at the same time. Start perusing the photos in the free Keeping Up with the Kardashians app a week or so before your night out and get shopping. Girls’ Night Out is the ultimate time to wear all those girly outfits in your closet that your boyfriend doesn’t understand. Color blocking, check! Floral print skirt with striped tee, check!
