Socialista New York Style Session with OpenSky

This evening I met up with my MeetUp group Socialista New York founded by Amy Chandra of Midtown Girl. The event was sponsored by the social shopping website OpenSky where you can shop the collections of your favorite style curators. When a bunch of fashion people get together, we usually like to play with accessories and take pictures. Who says adults can’t play dress-up? Fashion bloggers do it all the time. All of us got to play with OpenSky accessories and take pictures in front of a green screen like in the movies. We then chose from a bunch of New York backgrounds. I decided on the fall in Central Park background because so many pivotal scenes in movies were filmed there and I liked the leaves. It was so great to connect with so many amazing and talented bloggers. Can’t wait for the next Socialista event!

All the Stuff You Want This Holiday That You Didn’t Know You Needed

Between finding the perfect holiday party outfit, buying cute Christmas ornaments, and styling my entire family in the hottest winter wear, I absolutely love holiday shopping. Call my spending habits frivolous, but they make me and everyone on my gift list very happy. In light of the less than socialite economy, I’m selecting gifts this year that are cute and funny.

Here are my top 5 favorites that are bound to up the cuteness for the 2011 Holidays:

1. kate spade “Spike the Punch” Shirt: The perfect thing to wear to a casual holiday party that is bound to show your style and sense of humor all while keeping with the happy spirit of the holidays.

2. Starbucks Tree Ornament: My love for coffee/caffeine deserves a place of honor high upon my Christmas tree.

3. Angry Birds Hat: My mom will kill me if I don’t get her one of these this year.

4. Christopher Radko Michael Kors Ball: Every socialite needs a designer Christmas tree complete with couture ornaments.

5. Fairisle Ear Muff Headphones: The moment I saw these awesome warm headphones at Juicy Couture, I had to have them. When I walk around the city in the bitter cold zoning out to Glee songs on my iPod, I like to do so stylishly.

Socialite Hint: You can support the economy and your sanity by getting your Christmas shopping done early.

Celebrating Mulberry’s Spring 2012 Collection with ELLE Magazine

Tonight I attended the lovely launch of Mulberry‘s Spring 2012 Collection where I met ELLE Magazine‘s Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey who brought her beautiful baby to the event. I also spotted ELLE’s Senior Accessories Editor, Kyle Anderson across the room. It’s always a joy to party around beautiful British designs most of which I could totally see Kate and Pippa wearing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots! The pumps and the bag are pretty awesome too against the bookshelf background.

These great prints are very true to the Mulberry brand. Can you spot their signature tree?

More cool classy clothes that I can’t afford.

Love these bags! Very spacious and fun!

Lucky Shops New York VIP Party & Screening of ABC Family’s Jane By Design

Thanks to being one of Lucky Magazine‘s favorite bloggers, they invited me and a friend to the Lucky Shops New York VIP Party and an exclusive after party at the Crosby Street Hotel for a pre-screening of ABC Family‘s new show, Jane By Design, premiering in January. We also got to mingle with the stars of the show. Since a picture is worth 1000 words, here is a photo essay of my epic night.

So many people, so many deals, so little time…

I had my eye on this cute little mini red Foley + Corinna bag. I also found some of the most inspiring accessories at the Rebecca Minkoff booth.

Lucky Magazine always makes me feel like a star hence the director’s chair.

My friend Tracy and I met Erica Dasher, the star ABC Family’s new series Jane By Design at the after party at the Crosby Street Hotel. She’s such a doll! You should totally tune into the show on January 3rd at 9/8c. The pilot was a lot of fun to watch and featured some great fashion by costume designer, Olivia Miles. The show tells the story of a quirky high school student with great fashion sense who gets a job at a high-end fashion house after a case of mistaken identity. She then begins leading a double life as a high school “Plain Jane” and rising fashion executive a.k.a. the executive assistant to a crazy fashion maven. It’s like The Devil Wears Prada meets high school.
