Twas the Night Before Fashion Week

Twas the night before Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
And all thought the city
Not a Chihuahua was stirring
Because everyone looked pretty

The Prada bags were hung in the showroom with care
In hopes that something Chanel soon would be there

Anna Wintour in Louboutin heels
And I in Tory Burch flats
Had just settled down for a much-needed nap

For socialites, every week is Fashion Week and every night is Fashion’s Night Out. During the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, however, you have to celebrate a little bit harder. On this very rainy eve of New York Fashion Week it is time we all took in one last breath and a long nap in preparation for all of the elegantly overwhelming shows, parties, previews, and appearances to come.

Tomorrow night Sept. 8th (6-11 pm) I will be cruising around the Meatpacking District rain or shine in celebration of Fashion’s Night Out. I can’t think of a better way to begin Fashion Week than with extended shopping hours everywhere complete with free champagne and hors d’oeuveres to compliment the already wonderful shopping experience. Who knows what surpirizes this monumental week has in store for us. Our old childhood friend, Barbie, will even be making an appearance. Seeing that none of us can be in two places at once, all shows will be streaming on YouTube. Get ready to be as busy as Rachel Zoe.

Join me as I relax to the musical stylings of Glee:


Holiday Shopping at SCOOP NYC

It is time to keep aspiring.  According to the news, a second downturn may soon disrupt our economic recovery.  Fear not socialites because I predict the after Christmas sales this year are going to be better than ever.  Last weekend I raised my glass to the fallen socialites of the last century as I shopped over champagne in the Meatpacking District at SCOOP NYC.  Surrounded by Marc Jacobs bags, designer jeans, and tall couture boots I had a truly iconic shopping experience.  Every digital diva needs the most stylish tech accessories and I am head over heels for this Marc Jacobs computer case complete with pink bows (pictured left.)  As an Aspiring Socialite, I must always seek to entertain and be entertained.  Therefore, the shopping experience is a vital part of my everyday life. At SCOOP, I was reminded of Glee when the NYU A Cappella group, the N’Harmonics, gave an excellent performance at the storefront.  Hoping for a new Marc Jacobs bag in the near future to accessorize the song in my heart.  Happy Shopping!

Fashion’s Night Out 2010 at Catherine Malandrino

Fashion is power!  It has a profound power over me.  For my first ever Fashion’s Night Out as a New Yorker, I sipped champagne and organic cocktails at the beautiful Catherine Malandrino store in the world-famous Meatpacking District. The clothes looked even more amazing on this special night and the store came alive with the sounds of a DJ spinning the hot tunes of today and decades past.  It was a good thing we got there early because by 8:30 p.m. there was a line out the door.

Not only did I get a free bag to commemorate my experience, I also had my hair done compliments of Blow, the New York blow dry bar.  After having a ball at the House of Catherine Malandrino, I made my way over to the Apple store to celebrate fashion through a photo shoot powered by Mac technology.  It was a night worthy of socialite status.  Anyone who has ever dreamed of fashion and all it stands for could feel the magic in the air.  I must admit, however, that I did commit a fashion faux pas when I took off my heels in the middle of the store because my feet needed a break.  But, like I always say, a socialite never compromises or explains herself.  So whatever.  I have already begun to count down the days until Fashion’s Night Out 2011!

Fashion’s Night Out is Here!

September 10, 2010 is finally here and in a few hours, the fashion community is about to take the Meatpacking District by storm with the awesome array of Fashion’s Night Out events going on this evening.  I personally like to refer to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week which began yesterday as the ‘Socialite Superbowl.  Though the actual Superbowl is only one night out of the year, us Fashionistas need an entire week to celebrate the latest fashions along with our general awesomeness.  Get set for a crazy week of runway shows, shopping, blogging, and of course tons of champagne.
