LOFT unveils its Fall collection at the Style Studio launch after party in The Bowery Hotel.
The party was as tasteful and charming as the Hotel it was hosted in.
An exclusive collaboration styled by: Tina Chai, Kate Young, Joanne Blades and Alia Ahmed-Yahia. These four fashionable women worked with the LOFT fall collection to create effortless looks from 10 chic Fall essentials.
The adorable Gilmore girl, Alexis Bledel, and I chatted a bit about our shared Birthdays. She playfully told me how "we are only 1 year and 1 day apart" in age.* Hers September 16 and mine September 17.
Waiting for the Band.
Alexa Chung! What a doll. I told her how much I adore and am inspired by her effortless sense of style. She complimented me back, "You're hair is so lovely. I love your braid." I, of course, beamed.
Alexa Chung was brilliant in the DJ booth. Loved her spin on Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love.
The Lucky Alpha Bloggers. With Vyque, Beth and Valerie. I was glad to be able to meet up again with them at the after party.
Party in full swing. The champagne and hors d'oeuvres were delicious.
Pretty lighting.
Paparazzi! Mena Suvari, Socialite Kate Schelter and Maggie Gyllenhaal also attended.
Ra Ra Riot performed! I have a few clips I may upload for you guys later on. My favorite songs were Winter '05 and Can You Tell.
Beet and pistachio salad at Gemma.
Dining.
Was Mark The Cobrasnake Hunter staying on our same floor?
Bowery hotel room key tassel.
LOFT goodies.
Ray's Pizza.
All in all a tremendously fun and enlightening experience was had. Thank you Lucky magazine and Ann Taylor LOFT for having me.

Lovely pics, I'm glad to hear that Alexis is as nice as she is cute.

Thank you!
I couldn't believe the party myself. All I heard was food (dinner?) and Ra Ra Riot would be performing there. Of course I was excited.
THEN, to see and meet Alexa Chung was pretty much unbelievable!
After leaving the soiree for Dinner, I came back to find Alexis Bledel 2 heads in front of me in line. QUEL SURPRISE!
I have to say both girls were not only prettier in person, but just as sweet!
The LOFT flagship store was très amazing. Beautifully organized by color, cut and accessory.
I love New York, and hope to stay in the Bowery Hotel again soon!

Nicole - No I wish, they were too busy setting up, so i didn't want to interrupt. Great LIVE though!
Deborah Estelle - Awe. LOL. :)
Tiny-Lights - No Lorelai. lol.. wishes though, they're so cute together with their wild banter. ;)
Stardust and Sequins - Yeah, I did a little too ... in a good way. ;)
Anonymous 10:50 - Not sure, never saw him at the party... was weird to see the door with that sticker on it though.
Willa - I'm 5'6" my heels were about 3" and Alexa's heels must have been about 4"-5" so I'd say she's probably 5'8" or so?
your hair is e p i c. ck :) x
