Girls Night Out + Wine Tasting + Movies in the Park = Westchase Weekend Events, April 13-15

All girls need a little time to themselves. And Westfield's Citrus Park Mall is making that happen on Sunday, April 15 (5pm-8pm) with their first ever Girls Night Out event. More than 40 stores in the mall are participating by offering a variety of special discounts and giveaways, personal styling sessions, makeovers and giveaways.

The idea sprung from the launch of the new Westfield's Style Magazine, which features shopping and fashion tips using merchandise found at Westfield malls. What To Wear host Stacy London serves as the magazine's editor and chief. The books are available free at Westfield mall locations.

"We are bringing the Westfield Style Magazine to life and celebrating spring fashion," says Mary Ellen Collins, the interim marketing director for Citrus Park about the upcoming Girls Night Out.

On Sunday, shoppers will be treated to valet parking and red carpet arrival at the mall's main entrance. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse will offer a wine tasting. As an early kickoff to the event, starting Saturday through April 29, shoppers will receive a free bikini bag when they spend $200 or more on fashion and beauty in one shopping trip.

Shoppers are also encouraged to bring gently used work clothes, handbags, shoes and jewelry to donate to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that provides clothing and guidance to women re-entering the working world.
