Riding In Style

Because the M101 bus is the only way to get uptown to a Junior League party.
More from the evening here.

Sometimes You Just Have A Great Night

Last night was the New York Junior League's Fall Fete. It's my favorite party of the year since it is both party and auction. This year it was at The Union Club, which from a decor perspective could not get any better with its soaring ceilings and marble floors.

I counted at least five women wearing this Diane von Furstenburg dress. Lace was having quite a moment last night. The dress looked great on all of them, which I suppose is DVF's whole ethos.

With two of my favorite Junior League people, Suzanne and Colleen. Despite being in Manhattan for 13 years, this is my first appearance on Guest of a Guest. You'd think I never leave the house.

New York Junior League Fall Fete -- November 18th

Even though I'm not on the committee for the fall auction anymore, I still think it's one of the best events of the year. This year it's on Friday, November 18th at The Hudson Terrace. Be there or be square.

You can purchase tickets online here.

After a crazy month of renting five apartments (and another still pending) it was time to put on a clean dress and have some fun -- in style, at the New York Junior League.

When one first joins the League, you spend your first three months or so as a provisional, in a group with about 20 other women, learning about the League and how it works. My fantastic provisional leader, Suzanne, was honored this year by the entire New York Junior League as one of about eight outstanding volunteers. This is no small accomplishment. You have to chair committees, raise funds and basically be an ambassador for the League, which Suzanne does with flying colors.

She really is a class act in every way, and so her nearest and dearest threw her a huge party at the Astor House on 80th Street last night. Good vibes all around, not to mention plenty of champagne.

Pre-game shots. TR thought my dress looked like a Rorschach test. What does he know?

Hear Ye, Hear Ye

The Spring Auction for the New York Junior League is coming this April 27th. Please make a note of it.

It's The Junior League Homecoming Party!

Friday night was the New York Junior League's Homecoming party. It was 80s themed, and my crew and I did it up right.

I searched high and low for this dress. I'm channeling Ivana Trump, circa 1986.


Sam et moi, lookin' sharp. Sam left shortly after this photo was taken, something about meeting up with a chick. True story.


Kim and I, pre-party with booze in teacups. Klassy!
