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.

The New York Junior League's Fall Fete Is November 9th!

The New York Junior League's Fall Fete might be my favorite event of the year. It's in the middle of fall, it's always at an amazing location and there are prizes to be won in the silent and live auction!

This year the event is at The Union League Club which excites me not just because it's three blocks from my apartment, but because I love the old world vibe of the club. Dark wood, pool tables and uniformed staff make me feel as if it's 1962.

Dispatches From Last Night: The NYJL Fall Fete

Last night was the New York Junior League's Fall Fete. It was at the Hudson Terrace and it was fantastic. I was on the committee from 2009-2010, so have a real attachment to the event.

First, the dress! Because you can't wear just any old thing to a New York Junior League event.


Second, Erin C., my plus-one. She had never been to a League event before and said she, "Fell into cocktail dress heaven."


The room. It was incredibly well attended. The Hudson Terrace is two levels and a fantastic space for any occasion.


Unphotographed: The dive bar across the street that we ended up at afterwards.
11th Avenue and 46th Street is not the hottest neighborhood in town. At 12:30 a.m. we knew it was time to go when some dockworker guys tried to send us over some drinks.

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.

Last Night At The NYJL Auction

I didn't take too many shots last night, which is strange. Perhaps I was too distracted by the grapefruit bellinis.

Best silent auction item: A signed NKOTB platinum album. Note platinum cassette. Amazing.


Lots of people. It was very well attended.
