Kiki De Montparnasse Event

THIS EVENT WAS A LITTLE RAUNCHY SO WALLFLOWERS BEWARE!

Ok, now that that's out of the way... After a long, busy day at PR Company, I was one of the last interns at the office and was cleaning up for the day when the fabulous showroom supervisor asked me if I wanted to go to an event with her. I didn't know where I was going or what we were doing but we we're on friendly terms, even though she's practically my boss, so I said "Yea, let's have some fun."

We ended up at the Kiki de Montparnasse store, where there was a private sale/cocktail party going on. It was put together my supervisor's friend so she was kinda obliged to go.

Once more, sooooo sorry for the horrible phone pics! It's all I got!

Kiki de Montparnasse is a high-end lingerie/sex toy store (I told you it was raunchy!) with emphasis on the high-end part. Bras here will cost you about $100+ bucks. Very nice stuff tho.

There was free champagne, and fruit and chocolate bits to nibble on. Everyone, well 90%, there was dresses in all black and white, grungy chic attire. Red lips galore or no make up at all. Killer rock style/Pamela Love accessories on all the chics. Boys were sporting tattoos as accessories de riguer. Everyone seemed to know everyone. Among the guests was Greg K from the Misshapes and Genevieve Jones from... well, the socialite.

Aaaand then there was little intern me.. in my jean shorts and t shirt... and my laptop carrier bag.. in the same room as this picture..

I had one champagne glass, let my supervisor introduce to a few of her friends, and then left. I felt so out of place. But it was so cool to get to go!

Roxy Event.

PR Company threw a press party for Roxy to showcase their Winter '11 line at The Black Bear Lodge.

The bar was completely decked in Roxy Winter '11 gear, it was like a big cozy closet! After a long day at the office, a group of us interns came to to the event to help out. I was in charge of checking in the guests at the door. This was an invite only event. There were a few bar patrons that I had to turn away and asked them to come back when the event was over, it was awkward!

There was lots of yummy treats and an open bar! We were allowed a drink while at work! (Don't worry, I'm of legal age) As the event kept going, some of the interns were asked to leave. Rudely. Apparently we were looking too happy and there is no such privilege allowed for interns! I was saved from leaving because I had the almighty job of being the greeter at the door. I understand that the senior staff didn't want anything to get out of hand, i.e drunken intern puking all over an important editor, but there is a way to say all things politely. Then again, this is New York... we're unpaid interns... that kind of treatment comes expected.

As the editors, bloggers and stylists left the event, we handed them these delicious cookies but the real treat is in the little snowboards attached. They are actually USB drives with the lookbook inside! How cool is that!

Here's a sneak peek:

Blogger Closet Raid.

This past Saturday, I went this event at the Tribeca Grand Hotel:

This marks the first little blogger event I've ever been to! I'm such a fangirl... I feel you being all embarrassed for me. It's OK. haha.

Wendy's, from Nitrolicious, collection of shoes up for sale. Note the LOUBOUTINS at the front.

If these are the shoes she doesn't mind letting go, HOW MANY MORE ARE IN HER CLOSET?!? geez.

Keiko Lynn chatting with Jennine.

As always, I apologize for the horrible phone pictures. Bad lighting = bad pics :(

This is what I ended up home with: From Keiko Lynn, I bought a dainty vintage shirt for $2! and amazing 80%20 shoes for $10!! (The boots are actually a bit big for me... but I figured with some socks in the winter they'll be fine! haha They were ten dollars, c'mon!!) And from Jennine from The Coveted, I bought those funky printed silk pants for $5!

I have to give Sammy from Sammy D Vintage a shoutout for being the most gracious blogger of the event! She didn't hesitate to introduce herself to those who were near her and offer her ear to friendly conversation.
