SISTER ACT: ☆-ING, THE HILTONS & THE COLLIN SISTERS

Novelist-Jackie Collins, Designer-Nicky Hilton, Entrepreneur-Paris Hilton & Actress-Joan Collins @ the Hiltons Holiday party Dec. 2009

Joan and Jackie Collins in the 1950s

Tis the season...

Because that's exactly what NeverWood High did over the weekend at a holiday soiree hosted by the Hiltons at their private residence in Los Angeles.  The holidays are always a favorite time of year for me, they are filled with joy, laughter, celebration and eggnog with a splash of Brandy.  They always seem to bring everyone closer together, families, friends, co-workers, shoppers, children and dazzling sisters that turn the phrase "It Girls" into a powerful "Dynamic Duo".

Amongst the many characters who were in attendance, some dripped in diamonds, some from family dynasties and others just familiar faces of the glamorous Hollywood elite.Jackie & Joan Collins posing for a photo - Jan. 1, 1974

But, one of my choice moments of the evening was the magnetic pairing of not one sister combo but two!  

There have always been those memorable Sister Moments, when a world ruled by maleness was suddenly challenged by women who grew up together and then took on that world together.

This synchronization of appearance and action has always made sisterhood fascinating. Whether in life, in the media, in books, paintings or films, we've never gotten enough of sisterhood.

Some say the sister protocol came from Truman Capote and his writing of, "the Bouvier Conspiracy" which was the occasion of Jackie and Caroline Lee Bouvier whispering to each other in public.  Thus drawing attention away from topics like the Cold War and mesmerizing peoples minds via beauty, glamour and several spectacular marriages. 

Jacqueline Bouvier with her sister, Caroline Bouvier at the Debutante's BallSuddenly sisterhood was a world spectacle and sisters alike linked arms, elbowed the old boys', and spun sisterly webs of enterprise in entertainment, sports, journalism and society.

Our world is full of champion sisters (Venus and Serena Williams), stylish society sisters (Samantha, Victoria & Vanessa Traina), supermodel sisters (Frankie & Missy Rayder), achieving sisters (Kennedys galore), old-fashioned diva sisters (Joan and Jackie Collins), art sisters (Lola & Stella Schnabel), the British sisters (Fiona & Olympia Scarry), the twin sisters (Charlotte & Samantha Ronson), the mogul sisters (Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen) and the entrepreneur iconic heiresses (Paris & Nicky Hilton) and on and on.

Other notable sister acts include: Chyna & Bijou Phillips,  Ashley & Wynonna Judd, Janet & La Toya Jackson, Aly & AJ, Emily & Zooey Deschanel, Jessica & Ashley Simpson, Tia & Tamara, Dixie Chicks, Wilson Phillips, Hilary & Haylie Duff, Britney & Jamie Lynn Spears, Joely & Carrie Fisher, The Kardashians, Kim & Ruby Stewart, Georgia & Lizzy Jagger and the Double Mint Twins.

Happy Monday to all my sisters!

From your brother from another mother.

ITS A BIRD...ITS A PLANE...ITS OLSENBOYE!!!

Ashley Olsen & Mary-Kate Olsen at a welcome home party thrown by friends in Los Agneles, CA 2007Attention New York City!

Keep your eyes peeled for an Olsenboye truck cruising around New York selling merchandise and giving out cupcakes, balloons and pins. 

What is Olsenboye you ask?  Great question.

Olsenboye is Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's new junior brand that will be exclusive to J.C.Penney Co.  For the last several seasons, Penney’s has been unleashing new labels and designer exclusives while singling out brands that have lost relevance, striving to modernize its image, catering to more of a teen and contemporary crowd and offering something different.

If you remember awhile back we went to the IRonson event in NY in support of designer Charlotte Ronson for her collaboration with the Penney's chain.

Olsenboye, which is the Olsens’ ancestral name, will fall into Penney’s good and better price tiers. Olsenboye is a casual sportswear and accessories collection that includes denim, bottoms, tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, jackets, handbags and shoes. The line will retail from $20 to $50 and is being designed to be mixed to create different looks. The brand also will periodically flow in travel-inspired mini collections, each reflecting the looks and trends of different cities. 

“It’s very fun, fashion driven, trendy and wholesome at the same time,” said Liz Sweney, Penney’s executive vice president and general merchandise manager of women’s. 

While it’s got the Olsens’ spirit, it’s not limited to their size, ranging from sizes 0 to 15. “It’s really important that Olsenboye serves lots of girls,” Sweney said. “It’s not just about girls size zero or one.”

Let's hear it for the boy...Olsenboye that is!  Congrats girls, you never cease to amaze us over at NeverWood High.

OUT & ABOUT IN NYC FASHION WEEK: PEOPLE & PLACES

DJ & NYC It Girl-Harley Viera-Newton spins along side actor Leo Fitzgerald & Cassie CoaneI always admire New Yorkers for their hustle and bustle while in the city.  But, moreover I've got to give it to the fashionistas who are the real movers and shakers.  If planned right  you can fit everything into your schedule of who to see, what to wear and how to pose.  This takes pure stamina whether your a model, stylist, hair and make-up artist, editor, socialite, celebrity or just a fan of fashion to get from one place to the next and still manage to look as if you just walked out of a magazine.

Thanks to Sweet Spot and the bubbles in my champagne we managed to gallivant around town like boy wonder while putting the MEOW in all of NYC sweet spots.

On one side of town the girls from WhoWhatWear were hosting their NY book launch at Charlotte Ronson boutique.  With a gaggle of girls waiting to purchase their book and snag a quick pic with authors Hilary Kerr and Katherine Power.  After reading between the lines, we decided to go visit Byron Williams and Tracy Cunningham who are the hair and make up team to anyone who's anyone.  The dynamic duo was stationed at The Metropolitan Home Showtime House were they were giving Haircuts, blow outs, dye jobs, facials and gift giveaways that was put together by Ashley Margolis and her amazing team over at A List.  While at Byron & Tracy's we ran into long time friend and model Lily Aldridge.  Some of you may recognize her from magazines, ad campaigns...But, mostly because her "Sex on Fire" or at least according to her boyfriend, lead vocalist of Kings of Leon.

When all else fails and your over the fashion party you are currently at...

Head on over to the Jane Hotel in the Meat Packing district.  There you can find the real beautiful people cheers-ing to everyone who knows their names. 

Stay tuned for more party pics to come.  Off to a late lunch in the  Cafeteria.

Happy Tuesday NeverWood High-ers!!!

We have been having the time our lives in New York City for fashion week and the VMA's.  It sometimes becomes hard to do our homework and still attend class.  

BUT...

Always fashionably late, while always posing just on time.

It's been non-stop from fashion show to fashion show, dinner party to party and then you cant forget the after party.  We would like to give a special thanks to Sweet Spot who has touched the hearts (and well sweet spots) of so many of our favorite It Girls.  Sweet Spot really gave NeverWood High a leg up during this fashion week.  Here are some photos we have taken out and about town.  

Don't think the fun stops here keep checking back for more photos to come and check out all the Sweet Spots we visited while in the BIG apple.

JCPENNEY'S GOT A HE♥RT ON FOR THE RONSONS

Charlotte, Samantha, Mark & Ann Jones get fried at JCPenny's I ♥ Ronson eventParty invite

An apple a day may keep the doctor away...

BUT, being in the Big Apple everyday is a daily dose that I would prescribe to everyone. Last Thursday in New York City, Charlotte Ronson and JCPenney's hosted an event at the Chelsea Piers in celebration of their collaboration. It was the perfect Summer Barbecue theme'd party. Upon arrival guest were handed cotton candy, a ticket to shop in Charlotte's closet and Neon Pink Sunglasses, which definitely came in handy to shield ones eyes from all of the beautiful people.

If you didn't want to grip your hand around the delicious cupcakes that were served, you could have head over to all the balls flying in the air with the built in beach volleyball setup, sand and all. Everything had that perfect summer sizzle, especially the barbecue grill were guest could make their own hamburgers and hot dogs.

This magical night was full of stars in the sky and on the red carpet, twinkling city lights reflecting off of the Hudson River and sounds from Mark and Samantha Ronson. During the two DJ sets The Rumble Strips performed, you may recognize the lead singer Charlie Waller who also sang lead vocals on "Back to Black" that Mark produced.

The party literally looked like it would have been a set on a CW show, with loads of gossip and tons of girls.

Some of the attendees that were ing on Ronson that night included:

Alexa Chung, Ali Wise, Ashley Madekwe, Byrdie Bell, Chris Benz, Cisco Adler, Cole Mohr, Crystal Renn, Erin Lucas, Eva Amurri, Fabiola Beracasa, Genevieve Jones, Hilary Duff, Jennifer Creel, Kemp Muhl, Michael "Mr Mickey" Boardman, Mick Rock, Mischa Barton, Natalle Albino, Nicole Albino, Nina Sky, Olivia Thirlby, Peter Davis,  Sarah Howard, Sean Lennon, Shwazye, Sky Nellor, Sophia Bush & Zoe Kravitz.
