40 guests, big and small sold out the Haute Halloween costume party that I hosted at Gymboree Tribeca.  And they were dressed to the nines! Here are some of the cute families!

The little ones enjoyed a dance party within the gym setting and bounced, climbed and played throughout.  It was also a great chance for the adults to network and bond over all the costumed characters.  There were many!

There were story book characters like the (little) man with the yellow hat with curious George, a princess and an owl for instance.  And then there were those who took the Haute Halloween party theme literally and dressed as their fashion icon.  Below are Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour, Pharrell, Audrey Hepburn, and a Hunger Games inspired costume.  Creative huh?  For more on how to recreate the Karl and Anna costumes read my earlier post here.

We also had Robin Thicke, a rockstar, and Andre Leon Talley honor us with their presence.  For all the event photos see the FB page Fab Kids and Their Stylish Moms.  Thanks to our event photographers So Family Online and Gotham Love for stationing themselves in the photo room and being patient with all the sugar-ed up kids!

Style Star: Princess Kate Middleton’s Dress

Once upon a time, in a land far far away was a beautiful princess-to-be with a fairly boring but passable fashion sense.  And during the 5month engagement the world was abuzz with predictions, speculations and designer drawings of what the princess bride would wear.  My personal prediction was that she would play it safe with something traditional and classic.  And knowing the grand cathedral that she was to be wed in, I envisioned her in something grand, something with covered shoulders, something with a little lace and definitely something with a long train.  I just prayed it wouldn’t be as ridiculously long as Princess Diana’s train.

So when I got to work this morning, the first thing I did was to anxiously play the video of Kate Middleton taking that famous ride towards Westminster Abbey.  No I wasn’t one of the millions of Americans who set their alarms at 5am or stayed up all night partying at a viewing event.  A girl has got to work!  Excitedly though, I was happy to have been right about the wedding dress predictions and stunned to see the similarities between Kate Middleton’s dress and Grace Kelly.  It immediately brought me back to the day my best friend emailed me that same Grace Kelly photo that has been floating around the web .  She actually suggested to me that I wear something similar to Grace Kelly’s dress for my very own wedding!  What timing!  For it seems Kate already stole the idea with the help of Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen.

Did anyone else find the dress a bit anti-climatic?
