We recall with a slight shudder, New Year’s Eve, 1999. There we were, poised to toast the new Millennium, sitting on our sister in law’s studded leather couch, in the middle of what could have been Ralph Lauren’s fireplace room in the Rhinelander Mansion. Everyone was talking about the Y2-K virus; we were obsessing about our outfit. True, it’s shallow, which goes with being a fashionista, at times. Rather than standing up to toast the New Year in a LBD and Marc Jacobs sling backs, we were parked on the couch, with our feet elevated, in black leggings and a shapeless black muumuu. Even the oversized Yohji Yamamoto turquoise necklace Miss Mirabella had gifted us years ago didn’t really help us look any less tent-like.
We’re fast coming on to New Year’s Eve 2009 and in the midst of the Holiday Party season. Whether you’re going to see Lady Gaga live, like our fabulous friend, Tony Alcindor of PORTS 1961, or chilling with your BFF’s in front of the fire and staying off the roads, you want to dress up. We clapped in delight when we saw what ISABELLA OLIVER has for those of you who ARE preggers for the Holidays.
