We caught a 6am flight to New York and that was only the beginning of a very long day.
After a day of shopping and a little nap my friend K and I got ourselves all done up to head over to the Preston Bailey book launch party for his newest book celebrations at the Armory on Lexington. We were greeted by Mr. Bailey's Director of Communications, then greeted by Marcy Bloom who introduced me to several bloggers and fantastic business women, including a new friend (I hope I can call her that) Maria, of Ritzy Bee in Washington D.C.
The decor was gorgeous! Lights, flowers and a runway that was set up like a printing press starting from the ceiling at the back of the rooms splitting the room in half. Mr. Bailey greeted everyone himself at the door after his interviews were done. There was a fashion show, Martha Walsh and Gloria Gaynor performed some of their hits before the runway was opened up into a dance floor.
The food was delicious, servers passed beautifully plated hors d'oeuvres (philly cheese steak spring rolls, caviar, lamb and braised short ribs) and a beautiful dessert buffet that had miniture versions of everyones favourite desserts! The s'mores and lemon meringue pies deserved special mention for me!
Here are some pictures that I took at the event.
