Booth Rat: The Refinery29 Party, Fashion Week NY

In our quest to visit the coolest DJ booths around town, The Inside Source swung through the Refinery29 party to visit DJ Chelsea Leyland work the decks as Fashion Week begins to build. Note: this was the night of blizzard Nemo, so there was a bit of joyful abandon in the air. Guests cozied towards the gargantuan fireplace while dancing to Chelsea’s 50’s rebel rock and soul. Here’s a taste of her playlist (as you can see, she looks very focused here).

• “Chain of Fools” - Aretha Franklin

• ”Land of 1000 Dances” - Wilson Pickett

• ”Ready Teddy” - Little Richard

• ”Shake Rattle and Roll” - Big Joe Turner

• ”The Wanderer” - Dion

• ”The Clapping Song”- Shirley Ellis

• ”Jailhouse Rock” - Elvis Presley

• ”Waiting for My YaYa” - Lee Dorsey

• ”Stay” - Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs

• ”Shout” - The Isley Brothers

How Did I Not See This on eBay Myself?

Refinery29 editor Christene Barberich has decided to empty her closet and sell some of her designer goodies, including a few gems she picked up on eBay. “Okay, so our global editor, Connie, told me I was nuts when I snapped these up on eBay,” confesses the fashion writer. “I mean, who didn’t love them when they came down Marc Jacobs’ Spring ‘11 runway? They didn’t quite work on me, but I guarantee some lovely lady will absolutely know how to rock these…AND do them proud.” It’s ok! We’ll take them. If you’re craving these bold and courageous pants, visit the Refinery Closet to grab these for $70 (she’s got mad other pieces for sale, too).

We Love You Too Christene Barberich

By Jauretsi

This Fashion week, Editor in Chief of Refinery29 Christine Barberich has been documenting her daily looks online. Pretty smart. I was tickled to see a loving natural shout-out to eBay. ”I love that two of my looks are almost completely vintage, which is very me” writes the creative dresser. “This somewhat kooky printed dress is by Adele Simpson, a brilliant designer from the ’50s, whom along with Pauline Trigére, I adore. It’s not always easy to find her pieces in such great condition—and with such modern lines—so this dress, also from eBay, was a total score for around $200. I imagine I’ll have loads of fun wearing it in my older, more eclectic period…which seems to be fast approaching.”

Then there is the other look, my fav. with the striking red purse. ”I am proud to say that I found this vintage navy Norma Kamali suit on eBay (and for a grand total of $40!). It didn’t need any tailoring at all, and the ’80s uniform vibe really appeals to me.” From complex prints to straight color, we send a little applause for putting it all together.
