Dori’s World: Pre-Halloween Festivities
Who knew so many things could go on at once on a Wednesday night. First, Ivanka Trump had a cocktail party for her jewelry line at Saks Fifth Avenue. Then I headed over to Jack Vartanian’s dinner party at Le Charlot with Stephanie LaCava from Vogue, Zani Gugelmann, Nicole Mellon, Marisa Noel Brown, Ghislaine Maxwell, Rafael Azi, and Vanessa Von Bismarck. We all dined and looked at jewelry, then head to The Lion where Inga Rubenstein was hosting a table with Karolina Kurkova. Gerard Butler was there eating at the next table! The last stop of the evening was Dani Stahl’s annual Halloween party at her mother’s house, where she was dressed as green M&M. Lauren Tabach-Bank from Interview Magazine and tons of others dressed is awesome costumes. The Halloween spirit is here!
Dori’s World: Baby Shower for Nicole Mellon
Today I hosted Nicole Hanley Mellon’s baby shower at The Doubles Club with Mrs. Hanley, Nicole’s sister, Merrill Curtis, and Elizabeth Meigher. It was such a great group of girls who came to celebrate. Mrs. Hanley had everyone write down on a card what we thought the baby’s name will be, and if someone gets the name right they will win a prize. We still have a few months to see who wins.
Dori’s World: Lunching in Manhattan
On Sunday, I joined Matthew and Nicole Mellon for lunch at La Bottega. On Monday after a hard workout at Soul Cycle, (which I have recently become obsessed with) I had two lunches. The first was at Fred’s with Lizzie Tisch, Hope Sidman, Brett Heyman, and Debbie Peltz. Of course half of the conversation was about spinning! Then it was off to my second lunch with Serena Boardman and Rena Sindi, who is in from London with her girls. There we bumped into Thomas Leclerc who everyone knows from St Tropez because of his fabulous parties with outrageous things like tigers roaming the grounds.

Dori’s World: Angel Ball Charity
So many celebrities and socialites came out last night to either perform or just show their support to Denise, Daniella and Ilona Rich at the Angel Ball Charity, which is for cancer research in memory of Gabriella Rich.
Dori’s World: Dinner at Nobu, Tao’s 10th Anniversary and Bagatelle
On Saturday night, I went to dinner at Nobu with Haute Living publisher Seth Semilof, power PR maven Lizzie Grubman and reality TV star Simon Huck from “The Spin Crowd.” Nobu 57 was crazy fun. All the Berts and Shaul Nakash and the Caryes took over three tables. Erica Reid was having her birthday party in the back room. Old friends were popping in.
