Memorial Day Weekend in St. Barts

Dani Stahl and Ali Wise had their birthday party on June 16 at Vikram Chatwal’s new hotel, Dream New York, which is run by Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss.

I spent a great Memorial Day weekend in St Barts. I flew over with Jon and Lizzie Tisch. We stopped into Barney Greengrass to say hi to Gary and grab some breakfast for the plane. We stayed at OTO villa thanks to Anne Dentel, Director of Sibarth, Stephanie Hirsh, and Cecilia Pelloux, PR of Sibarth Villa Rental. This 3-bedroom villa was spectacular! The whole house overlooks Gouverneurs Beach with views from every bedroom. That is the same beach where Roman Abramovich has his compound.

Yesterday, Barbara Reich came to my house, whose company I hired to organize my closets–amazing work she did! Then last night I headed to a great townhouse cocktail party that honored Andrea Dellal, the chair of the BrazilFoundation’s 9th annual gala.

Earlier in the week Debbie Peltz’s mother-in-law threw Debbie a small surprise party. Then on Friday night I had dinner at Miss Lily’s with Lizzie Tisch and Harry Lefrak.

This weekend, I headed to L.A. with Alex von Furstenberg for Jason Pomeranc’s 40th birthday party that Alex and Ali Kay threw at Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg’s house. I started the day off with breakfast with Barry Gesser at the Beverly Hills Hotel counter before getting a hair blow out by Chris McMillan. I then met up with a few friends at La Scala for lunch.

On Friday night, Jen Raines, Natasha Silver, Jonathan Cheeban, Inga Rubenstein and I all went to Beauty & Essex for a fun dinner. I love the fake pawnshop in the front and the two-level restaurant. Then we were off to Provocateur.

The Women’s Committee of the Central Park Conservancy had their 29th annual Frederick Law Olmsted Awards Luncheon today and raised more than $3 million. The luncheon’s host was Gillian Miniter and its co-chairs were Virginia Apple, Anne Harrison, Julia Koch, and Lizzie Tisch.

Yesterday I went to the launch party for Molly Jong-Fast’s new book “The Social Climber’s Handbook: A Novel,” which was hosted by Isaac Mizrahi and Sharon Coplan Hurowitz. Sharon made socialite rings and cookies and really set the tone for the store for Molly’s party.
