Runway to Room Event at Grange with Derek Warburton

This Monday, Derek Warburton of DerekLovesShopping.com worked his styling skills to raise money for Housing Works. The event called, Runway to Room, was held at the Grange Showroom in NYC and featured a hand picked (by Derek himself) selection of gently used designer clothing from the Housing Works warehouse! Cabana Cachaca, Brazilian Rum, sponsored the event which also included platters of tasty treats like mini-quiches and red velvet cupcakes. (Yum!)

Stars and fashionistas flocked to support the Wildlife Conservation Society

Last night, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) hosted their annual Spring Gala at the Central Park Zoo, honoring Art Ortenberg and Dr. Jonathan Fanton for their continual support and efforts made towards the conservation. WCS’s GALA 2010: Flights of Fancy immersed guests in an enchanted world created by Preston Bailey (PrestonBailey.com) who is best known for his ability to transform ordinary spaces, into opulent, theatrical environments.

Recap from working Mercedes-Benz Fashion week for Fashion News Live

Chat with Katy Winn from Wenn Images - we joke about outfits we have worn in our past that now make us cringe in retrospect (I tell her the story if my red velvet catsuit I found sexy in high school, don't judge - in order to be fashion forward, one must take fashion risks, we both agreed*) (*Note: Katy is wearing bright - very bright blue high top sneakers - which btw not too many people can pull off* She makes it work*) Walk around for about an hour marveling at how pretty the cast of 'The City' are in person (Which I do every time I see them!) 3PM: Show starts - seated front row next to Rocco (Thankyou Rocco)! Lots of interesting drapery, metallic knits, chunky shoes, knee high boots, leather gloves, leather hats...big, big hair*

Backstage at the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Last night, I was able to attend the 2009 VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW on behalf of the Fashion News Live team and even scored a backstage pass where I was able to get a ton of pictures of the famous Victoria's Secret supermodels/Angels as they prepared for the 'Sexiest Show on Earth'. After the models were through with hair and make-up, the FNL team headed over to the PINK Carpet where we were able to get pics and interviews of the celebrity guests attending the show. Since Rocco is in Los Angeles and was unable to attend, Jack Mackenroth, a contributor for the site (and former "Project Runway' contestant) was host for the night. I was able to tag along and get some great pics to post both on the FashionNewsLive.com site as well as here on SocialVixen.
