Colleagues' Fashion Luncheon 2010 {Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 RTW}

I'm here in New York this week working and enjoying some personal time with the family. There are a lot of things happening and I am excited to share it with you all in the near future. Before I left for New York, I attended the Colleagues' 22nd annual luncheon honoring Oscar de la Renta at the Beverly Wilshire.

The Colleague supports Children's Institute Inc., which provides care and support for abused children. After an amazing runway show of de la Renta's fall 2010 RTW, Diane Lane presented him with the Champion of Children award. Here's a small clip from the runway show, it was absolutely beautiful as one would expect.

Talk to you next week when I am back home from New York!

Oscar de la Renta Shaping Little Girl's Style

Designers have recently supported the notion of "starting them young" when it comes to attracting new clients. Oscar de la Renta has joined a list of other designers such as Marc Jacobs and Chloé in designing a line of girl's clothing. Yes, that's right, your darling princess does not have to wait until she is grown to own her first Oscar dress and start her flawless style.

 

This limited edition will take mommy-and-me dressing to such a chic level. The adorable dresses, size 2-6, range in price from $200-$350. One might need to skip out on playing in the sandbox that day, but moms can feel good knowing $100 from each sale goes to The Children's Defense Fund.  The dresses might be a splurge, but isn't she worth it?  It'll be a mommy-and-me cherished memory forever!
