Fashionable Guests at the Charlotte Russe Launch Event Fall 2009

Ok, so this is the LAST Charlotte Russe post, I promise, just had to share a couple pics of the stylish guests, the VIPs and the food (why must everything at NYC parties be miniature? Soon they'll be serving individual grains of rice and these model types still won't touch it, lol).

It's my understanding that designer Marcella Lindeberg, creative director at Paris68 and designer for William Rast (J. Timberlake's line), will be heading up the People's Liberation for Charlotte Russe collection.

Ali Lohn (Lindsay's younger sister) was in attendance along with her mother, Dina. Ali was kind enough to let me photograph her in a People's Liberation tank and Charlotte Russe watercolor-print skirt that I featured recently in this post.

Eric Daman and "Gossip Girl" star Jessica Szohr. Other celebs included Joanna Garcia ("Gossip Girl"), Rumer Willis (she has flawless skin), Michelle Trachtenberg ("Gossip Girls" - and I retract the curvy comment, girl is skinny), and Christian Serratos ("Twilight").

That's me (on the right) goofing around at the photo booth with Bianca, a sweetheart of a writer for Elle UK who's freelancing in the states for the summer and blogs for sites such as Imnotobsessed.com.

haha, yes, yes they are. as much as i love fashion, the food always excites me. i tend to stalk the servers because one bite-size app is never enough! i could seriously have eaten the whole tray.

You're such a lucky duck! I love CR and I really love all these posts. I did want to share (because I love them), that Victoria's Secret is offering the free mini-dog with any Pink purchase if you want to pass that along to all the readers! Thanks!

I've always like CR better then F21, more feminie, for some reason, and you don't feel like you're shopping in a gymnasium!! Looking forward to these collections!! Thanks for posting!
