Ilya Peckerman Fund Silent Auction benefiting the Vasculitis Foundation May 3, 2010: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

As I mentioned in previous posts, I recently lost my father to Wegener's Granulomatosis, a type of vasculitis disease. In the hopes of helping others, my family has launched the Ilya Peckerman Fund to benefit the Vasculitis Foundation. 

Please join us as we host a silent auction on May 3rd for the the first annual Ilya Peckerman Fund Silent Auction in honor of our late father/husband. You’ll have the chance to bid on fabulous items from Stuart Weitzman, Kooba, Coach, Swarovski, Rebecca Minkoff, Clara Kasavina, NFL, the Shore Club, HP and more, plus priceless experiences, beauty packages and more. Guests will enjoy Voga Italia wine, GIVEN tequila and Tawny Ong cupcakes.

WHAT: Ilya Peckerman Fund Silent Auction benefiting the Vasculitis Foundation
WHERE: The Gates, 290 8th Ave. btw 24th and 25th Street in NYC
WHEN: May 3rd, 2010 6pm – 9pm
RSVP: $36** ticket (100% going to the foundation)
Via Online 
Or
Via Check: Made out to “Vasculitis Foundation” and in memo write “Ilya Peckerman Silent Auction 2010”; on separate paper list names of attendees
Pamela Pekerman c/o Silent Auction
2768 East 63rd Street
Brooklyn, NY 11234

Vasculitis diseases, particularly the one Ilya Peckerman was afflicted with, are rare “orphan” diseases that need lots of attention and funding. There is no cure, no set idea as to why it starts, and no age/race/gender preferences.

**Why $36 for tickets? It’s double “chai” (18), and means “living” in Hebrew. Our father wore a “chai” charm around his neck and when he lived, he really LIVED. So, to life and let’s LIVE and honor Ilya Peckerman and help others afflicted with Vasculitis diseases live longer, healthier lives.

If you can't attend, but would like to MAKE A DONATION, click here.

We THANK YOU very much for your support and compassion.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Jill Zarin's Book Party, Secrets of a Jewish Mother: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

Last week, I attended the book launch for Jill Zarin’s Secrets of a Jewish Mother: Real Advice, Real Stories, Real Love. It was a great turnout with guests including fellow Real NY Housewives Luanne, Ramona and Kelly, Real NJ Housewives Caroline and Dina Manzo, Kell on Earth’s Kelly Cutrone and BRAVO’s Andy Cohen. Malorie Kaye of Cameo PR was my date for the night and we JAPS loved the Jewish themed hors d'oeuvres provided by Elegant Affair – mini bagel with lox spread, kugel, and latkes. Malorie’s highlight was getting to chat with her pr icon Kelly Cutrone – whom we both agreed was incredibly kind and generous with her time. Malorie says Kelly’s book If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You changed her life, so I just ordered it from Amazon. My highlight was getting the Mazel of the Week from Andy Cohen on Monday instead of waiting until Thursday night's show. I also enjoyed meeting Lauren Manzo (daughter of Caroline from NJ Housewives and aspired makeup artist) who was sporting a glowing 2enlight10 clutch. The brand is the brainchild of Regine Basha (yes, Aaron Basha’s daughter) who happens to be a friend of the Manzo’s. If you recall, back in September I broke the story about the launch of 2enlight10 on AOL’s StyleList.com.

As for Jill, I didn’t chat with her as she was being swarmed by press – good job Amanda (her rep from AKR PR). I did snag a peak at Jill’s divine, suede, emerald green Christian Louboutin pumps. They were the perfect shade for her reddish hair. And, as I sit here in my home office (with a nasty cold) I’m channeling my own Louboutin moment in my new coral pumps. Nothing like a good accessory to make a gal feel better!

Skinny Girls Need SPANX Too: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

Do you SPANX? I love to SPANX all over and I’m not ashamed to admit it. If you follow me on twitter or know me in real life, then you know I always own up to wearing formfitting undergarments from SPANX – my favorite source for keeping curves lifted and lovable. After all, skinny gals need SPANX too.

Yes, repeat after me: skinny gals need SPANX too! I’m not a gym rat, my abs are not crazy flat, and with my new infatuation with Herve Leger sculpting undergarments are a must.

The other night, I attended Real Housewives of New York Jill Zarin’s book party (pick up Secrets of a Jewish Mother: Real Advice, Real Stories, Real Love for great laughs and wisdom) wearing a high waisted Herve Leger skirt and a red blouse from Daffys (love high-low mix). Underneath all the outer glam, I was sporting a SPANX Slimpicity Scoop Neck Camisole is nude ($47) that kept the lady friends in their place and ironed out any potential lumps – we all have em! To protect my bottom assets, I turned to Skinny Britches Hipster undies ($32) and a Skinny Britches Short ($42). The Hipster and Short are the newest addition to the SPANX family and a response to many fashionistas wanting thinner, layering options. Now you can wear one Skinny Britches to slim, layer on two to shape, and add a third to transform. It’s magic fabric.

PS My bag is LaLucca’s “Luxor” which helps me channel my inner Cleopatra.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Affordable Easter and Spring Fashion from TJMaxx and Marshalls on FOX17: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

For those of you who follow my tweets and live in the west Michigan area, I hope you were able to catch me on FOX17 chatting up Easter and spring trends available at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. There were some amazing options presented for women, men and children. After the shoot, I actually purchased the soft coral/salmon colored cardigan the female model was wearing. It was $39.99! What can I say, I love a good deal.

Check out Fox17online.com/ to watch the piece or click on the image below. Yes, they called me "lifestyle expert" because I discussed home decor pieces you can pick up at Marshalls.

A big thank you to Mike and Andrea at FOX17, and the lovely anchor Sarah Brodhead. Also, thanks to concierge at the JW Marriot Grand Rapids for finding hairspray at 12:30am.

Tommy Hilfiger Tote Benefiting Whitney Museum: Pamela Pekerman

Dear Bagistas,

Right now, I should be in the city at the Tommy Hilfiger Fifth Avenue Global Flagship hobnobbing with Mr. Hilfiger and other guests at the official opening night after party celebrating the Whitney Museum Biennial. Instead, I just finished doing the dishes and am now sitting in my home office reviewing today's progress on my book and finalized tomorrow's "To Do" list. It would have been fun to put on a beaded Milly cardigan, fitted DVF jeans and Be&D booties and show of my new LaLucca Giza clutch. The art crowd would have loved the artsy, hand-painted bag. So goes the not-always-so-glamorous, bag-a-licious life that I lead. While I passed on tonight's glitzy festivities, I do plan to visit the Whitney Biennial exhibit. If you get a chance check out the emerging and contemporary American artists and do so this Saturday, February 27th, as Tommy Hilfiger will underwrite admission to the museum for the first 1,000 visitors (open to the public on February 25th through May 30th). Tonight's celebration is in honor of the sponsorship; it's also gives TH a chance to debut a limited-edition tote bag featuring imagery from acclaimed photographer and Biennial artist Ari Marcopoulos. The tote will be available at the Whitney and Tommy Hilfiger Fifth Avenue beginning tomorrow, with 50% of proceeds benefiting the Whitney Museum. Get yours for $98 retail. Use it as a beach tote or grocery bag -- it will certainly garner plenty of attention next time you're picking out tomatoes at the farmer's market in Union Square.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Meeting Stylist and YRB Fashion Editor Darius Baptist: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

Before I call it a night, I have another interesting person (and story) to share with you. Last Friday, while being shot for a feature profile in YRB Magazine on me as a handbag collector,- pretty cool, hu? - I had the pleasure of meeting the magazine's fashion director Darius Baptist. Darius is a trusted fashionisto and stylist to the stars. His list of credits is like a who's who in the fashion-media-celebrity world, but that hasn't turned this sweetheart into a divo. Check out what he did with Kim Kardashian, who was the cover model for the September issue of YRB. This look is all Darius' doing and this is how amazing and unique celebrities can look when they trust someone as visionary and creative as Darius. Snaps for you my friend. Can I call you my friend Darius? I mean you had me at "I love Ted Rossi"! (Side joke: We shot this at the Ted Rossi showroom in midtown Manhattan, because my office and home are under construction. Sebastian and Ted, of Ted Rossi, are very old friends of mine and they happen to be friends with Darius, as well. That's me, below, balancing Ted Rossi bags on my head. The actual professional shots are sure to be better.)

Meeting Artist Peter Tunney: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting artist Peter Tunney, who's been gracious enough to host my companies upcoming Bag Some Art presentation for LaLucca Handbags at his Manhattan gallery. If you happen to be in New York City, check out the PT Experiment Gallery. Just minutes away from Central Park and a block away from Saint Patricks Cathedral, this vibrant space houses many of Peter's bold and graphic works, including a cheerful version of an eye exam over vintage 60s wallpaper (featured at right) and his famous "Don't Panic" slogan (seen below). If you're lucky, you'll get the chance to meet Peter himself or, even better, see him in action! After our meeting, I was really honored when Peter offered me a copy of his book The Peter Tunney Experiment and signed it with a very personal message: "4 the one and only blessed Pamela Pekerman, the time is ALLways NOW". We had just discusses the passing of my father, so the message really hit the spot. Thanks Peter!

In addition to his artistic endeavors, Peter is very philanthropic and along with Maria Bello, Josh Brolin, James Franco, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Natasha Koifman, Diane Lane, Michael Stahl-David, Oliver Stone, Madeleine Stowe, Charlize Theron and Olivia Wilde sits on the advisory board for Artists for Peace and Justice. Take a look at the organization's website to see all the miracles they are doing for those in Haiti - and, yes, they were doing them before the earthquake!

Robert Verdi's Twitter Party and Valentine's Day Tips: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

I finally started going out to work functions, and what better way to reenter than attending a twitter party hosted by Robert Verdi? I have Robert Verdi career admiration, so these events are a real treat. Since 2004 or so, I’ve watched him on TV and had the chance to interview him three times during past New York fashion weeks. To be able to attend his parties – at his stylish NYC pad – is a bag-a-licious perk.

So what are these “Tweet This” parties? Well, it’s an ingenious business concept created by the Robert Verdi team where about two dozen influential tweeters come to his Lux Laboratory (the first floor event space above which is Robert’s personal penthouse) and hear about his favorite things for the holidays, valentines day, fashion week survival and more. As a guest, your job is to twitter throughout the event about the tips and products presented, and hash tag each tweet with #rvtips. The added bonus – on top of being there and having amazing access to my career ideal! – is that every item Robert mentions is gifted to the guests. I was in total shock the first time and felt like a guest at Oprah’s Favorite Things show, except this was the ear-to-ear smile, sunglasses wearing, best-bald-head ever Robert Verdi show (shameless plug here for Robert’s actual The Robert Verdi Show which premieres February 10 at 10pm on Logo - tune in every Wednesday for lots of laughs and fashion fun).

OK, so enough about me, here are three of the best v-day gifts as presented by Robert on January 19 at the last Tweet This party:

RJ Graziano Lucite Bubble Necklace – I’ve already worn mine and had a modern, Betty Rubble moment. I found one one eBay for $79, but it retails for $44. Unfortunalty, it sold out on most online department store sites.
DVF sunglasses – this is where I lost it because all things DVF are divine! This woman, mom, mogul and fashion icon is such an inspiration to me. I’d buy anything from her.
Cole Haan Voyage Jewelry Case – a must for any gal that likes to travel with a lot of jewelry (on sale now for $78)

The next Robert Verdi "Tweet This" party is February 12th. Don't forget to follow my tweets throughout the night - www.twitter.com/pamelapekerman.

If you have a fashion or design question for Robert leave a comment here or tweet it to me. Have a room you want him to review just link to a picture. I'll be sure to share as many of them as I can!

Have abag-a-licious day!

Update on Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners Disease & How to Carpe Diem with Julia Child: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me or reached out to me via Facebook to send their good wishes. Michelle and I have started a cause on Facebook to promote the Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners Disease. Please visit the page, which will soon be updated on how you can help and where exactly your dollars will be going.

Over the past few weeks, I've struggled to get out of bed, focus on work and function. I'm not the only one who has ever lost - I'm sadly not even the only one to have lost someone to Wegeners. That, of course, doesn't make me feel any better. There have been a few key things that have kept me peaceful and even brought a smile to my face:
1. my two musketeers - mom and sister - we do a good job of balancing each other out. When we sense one is down, the others go into overdrive of talking, distracting or just plain goofing around.
2. my husband - words can't even express the calming, patient force he has been. And I do so love his reminders about getting my hair done, going out of the house to work from a cafe, and shopping. The latter part has brought several key items into my life: Joie over-the-knee flat black boots ($200 on sale at Saks.com), a black Herve Leger dress (also on sale $600 at Saks.com ) and a magenta beaded Milly cardigan (yup, on sale $110 at Saks.com). Not bad for a gal that has had a serious case of shopping anxiety for nearly a year!
3. watching Julie&Julia - oh what a charming, well editing, magically crafted movie based on a delightful book (of which I only read 50%). I watched it Saturday with my mother-in-law and once again on Sunday with my mom. Then I bought Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. 1. Today, if the force is with me I'll make Filets de Poisson Bercy aux Champignons (a fancy way to say fish filets pouched in white wine with mushrooms). I may even cook in pearls and by 50s-inspired dress from Unique-vintage.com.

Before I go, I'll add how I plan to carpe diem today - remember my last post!! I'll carpe diem by working only until 5pm and devoting time to cooking - what I'm certain will become - world famous Filets de Poisson Bercy aux Champignons fait par Pamela Pekerman. How will you Carpe Diem today? Make it your mission to ask yourself that every single morning!

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Launching of the Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners Disease

Dear Bagistas,

I never use this blog to discuss anything that’s personal, unless its purseonal. However, it’s with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of my amazing father Ilya Peckerman. My daddy passed away from complications associated with Wegener's Granulomatosis, a rare auto-immune disease affecting the vascular system. It’s a disease few doctors ever see, so its not always easy to diagnose. My sister, mother and I knew something was up when his intense sinusitis wasn’t going away and with some force and leg work got him diagnosed in late May 2009. With the help of serious medication and a strong will for life, my father was making a recovery and was able to walk me down the aisle in August and enjoy my wedding. After going to work for about three months, he had a relapse in late November. He passed away December 18, 2009 and not only did I lose a father, but a great friend. I’m sharing this with you because from such hardship, my family hopes to help others. Over the coming weeks, Michelle and I, along with our mother, will be launching the Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners and Vasculitis Disease. We want to bring awareness and increase education about this disease, help those who need medication to fight it, and assist in funding new research. We are in the process of finding out the legal aspects of launching such a foundation and I’ll be relating information as it comes. In the mean time you can learn more about this disease here at vasculitisfoundation.org. It’s not easy putting these words out there to the world, but I’m hopefully that a lot of good will come from it.

On another note, I want to share some of my father’s everlasting energy and spirit with you. He was a man that, although being very meticulous and organized, loved spontaneity. He was the social director of his family and friends with a wonderful zest for life. It wouldn’t be far fetched to say his motto was “Carpe Diem”. And so, I wish to share with you – and to remind myself – to “Carpe Diem”. Don’t put off watching a movie with your mother, cooking with your spouse, reading a book to your niece, taking a mini vacation to Boston, actually watching the sun set, leaving yourself 30 minutes each day to read a book, stepping away from your desk on nice day to enjoy lunch outside, taking the longer walk to school, popping into an unusual art gallery, creating an at-home spa day, taking your grandma out for sushi, using your gym membership, testing out a vespa, walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, learning to play the piano …
How will you Carpe Diem today?

Have a healthy, bag-a-licious day!

Jetting to Miami, Talking TJMaxx Fashion, Viewing LaLucca Bags, Drinking with Adriana Castro: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I’m living the jet set lifestyle, well, sort of. At 8am the hubby dropped me off at the airport where I left my fabulous fur behind and slipped into a neon yellow, open cardigan from Express. Three hours later I’m in muy caliente Miami! By 3pm I’ve purchased new flipflips (this was a serious BudgetFashionista-style mission, documented on twitter) and had lunch just in time to meet with the wife-hubby team of Luara and Alex of LaLucca handbags. I was really excited when they gifted me a one-of-a-kind clutch! LaLucca is truly a marriage of art and fashion and very Miami. Each bag really has a soul and a story to tell. (More of LaLucca coming up on BagTrends.com probably in two weeks or so.) By 5pm I was at TJMaxx picking out a few more bags for tomorrow’s NBC6 segment on holiday clutches and snagging a two fashion pieces for myself – I can’t help it. By 9pm, after several hours of working from my hotel room and having dinner, it was off to have drinks with Adrian Castro and her husband, Luis, at Sushi Samba. Talking about exotic skin handbags, plans for a double date in New York, and new Adriana Castro ventures for 2010 isn’t a bad way to cap the evening. Oh, of course, I didn’t forget to light my traveling menorah! At left, see my day in pictures.

It’s an early call time (8am) tomorrow for my NBC6 segment, which should air on December 16th in Miami. I hope you like all the affordable holiday clutch options up to 60% off department store prices. You'll recognize plenty of designer goodies.

Until tomorrow, as they say in Spanish ...

Tenda un dia bag-a-licous!
