The Eight-Day Week

Burberry Spring Summer 2013 Womenswear Show - Arrivals

To Do: Manic Monday

We’re feeling sociable tonight—after a week spent indulging our cinematic urges, it’s time to leave the theater and blink our way through the glint of sequined gowns. We’ll start at the God’s Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards Celebration, where Michael Kors and Glee creator Ryan Murphy are to pick up awards for their philanthropy. Read More

Uncross Your Legs, They Cried Out at Michael Kors

“Please return to your seats!”

The typical orders were barked from the front row at Michael Kors on Wednesday, September 12 at 10 a.m. Too much too early. Due to some recent Team Kors PR shifts and rifts, we couldn’t locate the familiar faces that would help The Observer with its conquest. Where were Savannah Read More

After-Party Attire: Best of the Met Costume Institute’s Gala

While the Met was swarmed by A-listers Monday night, we only heard news about Beyonce‘s dress this morning.

Bette Midler and Steve Wonder at the Waldorf

Bette Midler's Hulaween Party Brings Out the (Undead) Stars; Makes Trees Grow on Money

We felt woefully under-dressed as we stepped into the 2nd floor foyer of the Waldorf-Astoria, the entrance to Bette Midler‘s Hulaween party. The theme was Día de los Muertos – the Mexican Day of the Dead – and although we felt like zombies after occupying Wall Street earlier that Friday evening, we weren’t decked out in any apparel that suited the $1,000-a-plate dinner.

Michael Kors Goes Shopping

Even exquisitely uncomfortable pointy-toed dress shoes can’t keep Michael Kors from practically any retail neighborhood in the city he so desires.
