Last night I threw my first house party in New York for my birthday. I was inspired by the sets in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette to create a sort of parlor set up with decadent treats everywhere you look! Vegan chocolate cupcakes, french sugar cremes, rose turkish delight, cotton candy bonbons, pearlized pastel gum balls, jordan almonds, and macarons in vanilla, pistachio, rose, and violet.

















Looking at these photos I am overwhelmed with how beautiful my friends are! I feel very lucky to have such colorful, interesting, and creative people in my life and it was awfully fun to cram all of them into my pink palace! I hand painted a pretty room to house extra guests and filled it with goodies and champagne. Bottles and bottles. Everyone wore stripes but it was completely accidental. All the sweets got eaten and everyone danced to french pop, Gene Pitney, and music from Beetle Juice. My friends dog stopped by but she never made it. My bed became so filled with trannies that it collapsed and my coat rack did as well after being piled with vintage furs. My amazing gifts included a bejewelled camel sculpture, a beautiful rose studded hat, macaroons, and cupcakes, vintage lace, a beautiful pink victorian collar, and two incredible portraits.
All in all it was a successful evening! Thank you to everyone who came and to Derek Dewitt for these amazing pictures!

Thanks Erica and Audrey for the first and last images.

If Fashions Night Out to you looks like a bunch of girls in dresses standing around various parts of lower Manhattan making the same face in every picture, you're spot on. I've never done so much standing and smiling in my life. You wouldn't believe the shape my feet were in the next day, but at least my cheeks got a workout.
I spent the evening with friends and a Beautylish coworker hopping around Soho and the Lower East Side. we went by the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics store to visit my friend January and test out the new Lip Tar collection which was gifted to us by OCC founder David who is so incredibly sweet and generous.
We swung by Pat Fields and drank coconut water but wished for booze. The new store is filled with wig-spiration and lots of spiky things (more than before).
Hanna Beth was hosting the Nylon event at Bloomingdales which we were hopelessly late to but we caught her and Ivey anyway at the last minute.
I ended up in the mens bathroom at a dive bar with Derek and Audrey at the end of the night which really wasn't at all surprising to me. I loved all the folks I got to see and meet that night, but after OD'ing on LBD girls teetering around sporting highlights and unenthusiastic boy friends, the dive bar bathroom seemed like the most apt escape. 
I took a lot of street snaps that night that you can find HERE.

Hat, collar, sequin top, earrings, and bag are vintage. Dress is SENA NYC. Heels are Nine West.

Excited to share this gem from my latest shoot with visionary Derek Dewitt. We shot at midnight at the Columbus Circle while channeling The Eyes of Laura Mars and a little bit of Grace Jones. This photo is not of this era. Totally rad!
