We’ve been a little behind here at Chic Unique with all the amazing events we’ve been attending, so we’re playing a little catch-up!

One very exciting event we’ve been at is the launch party for “Little Kids, Big City”, by Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen of the Real Housewives of New York.

Described as a book about parenting “from the trenches”, Alex and Simon talk about the joys and struggles of raising kids in the great metropolis of New York.

What’s really fantastic about this book is that you don’t have to be a parent to enjoy it! If you ever had a parent or lived in a city like New York, then you’re going to love this book.

Definitely highly recommended!

I’m very proud to have Alex and Simon from the “The Real Housewives of New York” as friends, and I don’t think people have an opportunity to see just how wonderful, warm and real they are. I created this art-piece using lo-fi photography to give people a Real Day with a Real Family of New York.

This past weekend, Edward Garou and I attended Brooklyn Fashion Weekend, held in Fort Greene at the Irondale Center. Divided into three days, the event gave a platform for up and comming Brooklyn, international and NYC designers to showcase their Spring 2010 collections. The highlight of the weekend was the Loris Diran collection, which was shown on Sunday night. Beautifully tailored clothing with flowing chiffon and beautiful bright yellow satin creations! It was truly a master collection of elegance! Three of his most alluring models were none other then Alex McCord, Ramona Singer and Kelly Bensimone, stars of the Bravo Reality show “The Real Housewives of New York”. In attendance was Simon Van Kempen and Jill Zarin, also from RHWNY. It was an amazing evening, MCed by none other then Derek Warburton, the larger than life fashinista from DerekLovesShopping.com! Being on the Board for the event, Alex, Simon and Derek were responsible for the magical evening. We’re really looking forward to attending this comming spring for the Fall 2010 collection previews. For more info on Brooklyn Fashion Weekend, please go to  bkfashionweekend.com. C’est chic!!!!!!!!
