been away too long.....

Hi everybody,
Sorry I haven't updated the blog, but I was sooooo busy. Since we last talked I have so much to tell you guys. I was in New York with my bff Babeth and her french entourage, my daughter Gavin, my sister susan, and a whole host of other fun people. Emily Schnur, Gavin, and I bought some yummy new clothes for spring at Coterie. We have added some amazing new vendors to our stash, Iro, Sass and Bide, Patterson J. Kincaid, Janis Savitt, are just a few of the new things you will see in the store for spring. We also have some amazing new Vera Wang Lavender label dresses, so chic, sweet and just the right thing for your dance this week-end (Loyola girls, come on in, these dresses look just like you!!!)
Getting back to New York, My french friends and I decided to go to the Carlyle for lunch and who do we see.....President Sarkozy of France and his adorable wife, Carla Bruni. She is so chic, loved her Lanvin dress. Security was everywhere. It was very, very serious. Just when I thought we had had enough, Tony Blair sits down at the table next to us and Elle McPherson was a table away. I guess that 46$ green salad was worth it!! Wait I have one more story. Having dinner at a french bistro next to the Bowery Hotel, (forgot the name...) and who is next to us but Matt Dillon. We all struck up a conversation and chatted with him all through diner!!! He is very sweet, a bit shy, and very handsome.
I'm almost done. Our friends at Pencey were so kind as to invite us to a private party at the Jane hotel. All kinds of fashion trash were there, it was the place to be last Thursday night and Emily and I were there to represent GAVIN!!
That's all for now. I just love you guys and really appreciate the continued support.
p.s. an old and very beautiful friend came by today, Mary Levin, haven't seen her in years and I am convinced she is even more gorgeous than she was 20 years ago. Some girls have all the luck!! Anyway she bought all kinds of fab things to bring on her next trip away with her beau and has assured us she will tell all of her friends about us!!
Peace and Love
Lauren
