Stalk Anna Wintour at Vogue – Just Pay For It

A coveted insider’s look into the glamourous, “Devil Wears Prada” (Vogue) is on auction NOW.    If you’re willing to unload some cash for some firsthand fabulosity, you can spend a week in Vogue’s offices!  “Tailored to the individual interests and skill set of the auction winner, the week at Vogue” will benefit the RFK Center.   “As part of this experience, the winner of this dream package will get to attend a fashion show during New York’s Fashion Week” and receive the following:

  • The September Issue DVD
  • In Vogue
  • Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People
  • The World in Vogue: People, Parties, Places
  • The Teen Vogue Handbook

For many, living and breathing Vogue for 1 week is a fashion fantasy come true.  I know it would be for me.  According to the online charity site, the next bid is going for $2100 (with increasing bid increments at $250).  In my mind, I’ve already calculated that that’s worth a new shiny Chanel purse and with the bidding having just started, it could soon increase to an entirely new Chanel wardrobe!  It just started yesterday and goes on through the end of the month.  And get this, they say that the package is valued at a whopping $10,000.  Let’s see how much fashionistas are willing to spend.

If I were able to pay for this overpriced package, here are the things that would be on my to-do list.

  • Follow Anna Wintour around like a lovesick puppy and shamelessly marvel at her fabulousity all day
  • Hide Anna’s sunglasses so I could see her real reactions to everything
  • Photograph all the fashionistas at Vogue and post here so you could all see what Vogue-ettes really wear each day of the week
  • Play dress -up in that famous closet and then beg to borrow/keep things everyday until someone finally gives in
  • Taste everything in their famous cafeteria and try to feed the skinny bitches around me
  • Attend a photo shoot, help style it, then beg for freebies
  • Create a personal photo shoot for Anna and yours truly

Did I miss anything?  What would be on YOUR list of to dos?

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party

As a continuation to my last post about NY mad-hatters, here are some beautiful images from outdoor tea events inspired by Alice in Wonderland.  They make me want to dream up an excuse to host a Alice in Wonderland themed tea party myself!  Bridal shower?  A birthday brunch? Baby shower? a themed wedding like Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s?

If you like these photos, you must see the ISES slideshow that Sparkliatti put together. (ISES is a special event planner’s network which recently hosted a tablescape event under the Alice in Wonderland theme which resulted in glorious photos.
Inspired by these photos, I created an Alice in Wonderland collection online using Polyvore.com, a fun editing tool that allows you to create your own image boards.  You can think of Polyvore.com as an online scrapbook, or virtual magazine layout creator and use it to highlight everything from your interior design plans, to your wedding theme to your family vacation photos.  I just got started with it and though it took a little time to figure out how to best use all the tools ( I watched some Youtube videoclips to help myself out), I was able to create the below fantasy Alice in Wonderland set using some of the images above and the images already in the Polyvore library.

So now that you have some inspiration on event and outfit ideas, here are a list of suggestions on what to incorporate at your Alice in Wonderland themed event and here is a pdf for all your paper needs!
