Party On! Librarians Get Futuristic at the Annual Library Lions Gala
The Internet may very well be our home turf, but there's nothing quite like turning the monitor off and spending some time with a good book. Yesterday, we met our literary heros up close when we attended The New York Public Library's Annual Lions Gala where esteemed authors such as Annie Proulx of Brokeback Mountain were recognized. The theme of the event, "A Bright Future," drew out some seriously glittery black-tie dresses as guests celebrated the enlightening jobs that these movers-and-shakers have done in New York City. Check out our snaps from the evening—and if this event can be seen as any sort of barometer, the future looks incredibly sparkly!

Party On! Our Favorite Costumes From Hornito's Halloween Blowout
We're still finding face paint residue behind our ears and tufts of acrylic hair still caught in our coats from our night at the Hornitos- and The Smile-sponsored Halloween party at the future NoMad Hotel (coming 2010!), designed by Jacques Garcia and Taavo Somer. From Flying Spaghetti Monsters to a a group of East Village squatters, we'd like to applaud those who rose above and beyond the urge to just don cheetah print and a novelty headband. To those who went the sexy cat route (MObama, we're looking at you), take a look at our favorite costumes from Saturday night to glean some inspiration for next year. What are you waiting for? Only 364 days to go!

Party Pics: YSL Celebrates Parisienne With a NYC-Style Masquerade Bash

Enlarge Image
If you saw The Strangers, you're probably not so keen on mask-wearing of any kind. But, in the spirit of Halloween and YSL's new fragrance Parisienne, we all came out to Angel Orensanz last night masked and dangerous. Like any respectable glam shin-dig, the Misshapes manned the music (Alexandra Richards took over later in the evening) while a crowd of theatrical party-goers sipped cocktails and preened for the many roving cameras. All in all, it was a festive fete that brought out the eccentric in us all…and what of that bunny-mask-wearing dude? He's still freaking us out!

Party On! Colette x Rodarte's Parisian-Chic Get-Together

Last night we headed over to Paris' premier concept store Colette for an opening soirée in celebration of a Kate and Laura Mulleavy curated Rodarte pop-up shop and gallery. While DJ + electronic violin + cello ensemble Something à la Mode did their thing, guests popped by for a quick sip of bubbly and a macaroon or two. Couple du jour Garance Doré and Scott Schumann did a two-minute run-through, and quick appearances were made by Dasha Zhukova, Derek Blasberg, Susie Bubble, and the inseparable Mickey Boardman and Lynn Yaeger. Click through for more pictures of our favorite shiny happy party people including Michael Stipe (yeah!), Clémence Poésy, and Julie Gilhart.

Party On! It's a Mix of Gin and Goody Bags At In God We Trust's New Greenpoint Outpost
Friends and lovers of indie boutique In God We Trust (we can't help it, we're both), journeyed to Greenpoint Avenue last night to celebrate the opening of the store's fourth outpost with owner Shana Tabor and the whole IGWT crew. Revelers headed straight for one of the two bars in either the string-lit back patio or white-walled warehouse space, where bartenders were mixing Hendricks Gin cocktails and pouring Bear Flag wine, before drifting into the shop to peruse the wares. We couldn't help but grab a few birthday gifts (M&Co. watches! The Hill-Side ties!), and nabbed a pretty great gift bag filled with treats like IGWT jewelry, discounts to Greenpoint boutiques Alter and Hayden-Harnett, and a free bang trim—a necessity for most L-trainers—from The Parlour. Though it takes a lot of trust in God to take the G-train anywhere, the party proved worth the wait on the platform, and now that we have yet another reason to do a Greenpoint shop-crawl, we'll be making the trip more often…no faith in a higher power required!

Party On! It's a Glitzy Gilded Age Romp At the Dior J'Adore 10th Anniversary Party
Given the setting and theme of the Dior J'Adore "Golden Goddess" 10th anniversary party last night at the glitzy Boom Boom Room at The Standard Hotel, we wouldn't blame you for thinking the Gilded Age was here again. All the elements of an epic evening bash seemed to be in place: Great tunes (courtesy of Harley Viera Newton), a posh locale, ridiculous views of NYC, and hot Rubin Chappelle-clad waitresses carrying around trays of gold-dusted miniature cupcakes. Fashion and social scenesters like Coco Rocha, Olivia Palermo, Tinsley Mortimer, Lauren Santo Domingo, Lydia Hearst, and Ali Hilfiger, not to mention our newest girl-crush Lykke Li (who's been working on the next Twilight soundtrack), turned up to toast the iconic Dior fragrance in extravagant style. Click through for our party snaps of all the golden goddesses we caught J'Adore-ing their way into the late, late night.
