11/11/11. What a day to remember! After wrapping up the last of my midterms this week, I deserved an early b-day treat so upon hearing last month that Carine Roitfeld would be in NYC at Bookmarc signing copies of Irreverent, I went down to the West Village for the signing!
I arrived at 5:30pm and bought the book and as soon as I turned around, at 5:40pm she whisked into Bookmarc and immediately started chatting fans up and signing copies! Champagne flowed, passerbys gawked and I found myself in the surreal world of fantasy, meeting another one of my idols! I stood in line for a good half hour and was cut in line by non other than Peter Philips, Chanel Beauté's Creative Director! She said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, he is VIP." I said "I know, I can't believe this is happening, this is amazing!" So while he was getting his booked signed I took a picture of her boots. ( See below)

Boots to pine for! |

Carine and Lacroix |
Finally! I meet Carine who says..like every french person I have met." Your first name is Lacroix? That's interesting." I then tell her " Thank you for my early birthday gift", as I give her my book to sign, she asks, " When is your birthday?" I say " Its the 22nd" and she says, " Happy Birthday"!
Then I break out my favorite issue of Paris Vogue, the Dec 2007/ Jan 2008 issue guest edited by Charlotte Gainsbourg , she smiled and signed it!
I go outside to meet Jessica of
Styloteque and in walks Marc Jacobs!

Carine and Marc chat . |
Marc stayed and chatted for about a half hour then left, but not before taking photos with some fans.

Marc loves the kids! |
 |
I promised Joan that I will read the new V mag with her on the cover once I was done with my accounting homework. |
|
Joan Smalls and Natasha Poly stopped in to say hi to Carine and to get their books signed!
What an amazing night!

Natasha Poly is too tall for words- I'm like 5'10 and she's like 6'2.. and she has killer boots on!
