Spotted: Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr at Charlotte Russe Party!

Last night in downtown Manhattan, Charlotte Russe hosted a party to launch their new fall line. In attendance: Online fashion editor Jackie Nasser, associate accessories editor Suzanne Singer, and yours truly. The bright white space was filled with stylish people, pumping music and trend-specific model installations that ranged from punk rock to my personal favorite, vintage girly. The models were styled head-to-toe to fit each scene (love the hair accessories!). Even the passed hors d'oeuvres matched the trends: tiny pastries for the ladylike scene and mini burgers for the rockers.

Jackie, Suzanne and I could not stop talking about how cute the line was! There was at least one item from every outfit shown that we wanted to own immediately. We had a chance to chat with Gossip Girl stylist Eric Daman, who has been working with Charlotte Russe in a creative director capacity since last November. He was totally cool and laid back and pointed out some of his favorite pieces calling specific attention to the accessories--super stylish and so affordable! Speaking of Gossip Girl, we also spotted Jessica Szohr (a recent Lucky cover girl!) looking adorable as usual, no doubt there to support Daman. Plus on our way out we passed Michelle Trachtenberg wearing a black leather jacket and pair of totally rad metallic blue booties. I bet she loved the rocker looks.
