One such virtual event involves Piperlime and their newly-appointment guest editors – Rachel Bilson, Olivia Palermo, and Byrdie Bell. Starting at 6pm on FNO evening, customers of the online retailer will get exclusive access to a series of videos from the trio, as well as their fall styling tips and product picks.

Spring is all about rebirth and growth and yadda yadda: for Manhattan scenesters it's mainly about ending winter hibernation and hitting the social circuit in order to show off the latest looks. This week was chock full of winsome odes to spring in Manhattan: parties to remind New Yorkers that the High Line will soon be in bloom, events that celebrated spring fashion openings and new spring catalogs and parties that got people excited to shed leggings, overcoats and layers of stuffy winter makeup. Here were some of the freshest beauty takes from this week's party scene.

A hundred women with perfect highlights, but not a pot of bleach in sight. The Frederic Fekkai salon was filled with ladies in waiting, but not for a trademark Fekkai bob. Instead they gathered for Jill Kargman's John Hancock last night, in celebration for the release of her newest novel, The Ex-Mrs. Hedgefund. Steak tartare and white wine sated the elegant mob, such as Meredith Melling-Burke and Sylvana Soto-Ward as well as the hosting committee, which included Allison Aston, actress Byrdie Bell, alice + olivia's Stacey Bendet Eisner, and Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss. Gentlemen in attendance took notice of the well-heeled crowd. "This place is filled with cougars and pumas," one dapper fellow noted.
