The Celebrity Sweet Life: Pastis in NYC

I’m starting a new feature on GlamScene called the “The Celebrity Sweet Life,” where I’ll be featuring celebrity haute spots!… Be it an exclusive club, a hot new restaurant, a trendy boutique, or a luxurious vacay destination… I’ll take you there. (Well, vicariously!)

Here’s the first in the series… Enjoy and stay tuned for more! xoxo

WHAT: Pastis. It is the NYC brunch spot. The shabby chic 1930′s-esque Parisian bistro where downtown Manhattanites hobnob with the visiting L.A. elite- where even the skinniest celebrities and models indulge in an order of sinfully delicious steak frites. (And who could blame ‘em? Those downtown divas deserve a yummy reward for braving the wobbly Meatpacking streets in their five-inch stilettos and mini-skirts!!!)

WHERE: Duh. Pastis. 9 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY 10014.

WHO: Pastis’ VIP diners include: Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Bosworth, Ashley Olsen, Gwen Stefani, Bono, Penelope Cruz, Uma Thurman, and Ashlee Simpson, to name a few.

Miss Jamie Lynn Sigler goes there before hitting up the Gansevoort. Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa go there to lunch with the kiddies. Liv Tyler even hosted her wedding reception brunch there! Jessica and Nick used to brunch there. (I suppose Nick takes Vanessa there nowadays. And maybe Jess eats there with John!)

Oh, and look for Pastis featured regularly on Sex & The City repeats…But I digress!

WHY: Point is… This place is perpetually packed with pretty people… so bring your autograph book (or perhaps a digi-cam is less “touristy”) and sport your skinny jeans and ankle boots. You’ll fit right in! And, yes, do order the steak frites. They’re the best.

xoxo,
Lauren

What do Britney Gastineau and Paris Hilton have in common? Wait. Don’t answer that! Too many possible answers! So, let’s throw Brooke Shields into the mix! What unifies these three celebrities? It just got a little trickier, right?

No, no, no! I’m not talking about overbearing mothers! I’m talking about their love for the hottest new jewelry collection… Erika Peña!

Ms. Peña has accessorized the famous necks of savvy stars like Britney G., Paris, and Brooke. (Not to mention Jennifer Aniston, Fergie, Ashlee Simspon, Beyonce and Jessica Alba.) They all love Peña’s unique mix of beads, charms, and chains. It’s NYC-edgy-swank meets California-casual-cool with a little touch of Caribbean-hippy-chic.

With pretty, posh and popular designs, you might want purchase yourself a piece ala Paris or Brooke! Check out her looks below and browse her site here – Erika Peña.
