ELOISE

 

“I am Eloise.

 I am six.

I am a city child.

 I live at The Plaza.”


I have been a huge Eloise fan since I was six years old and my Grammy gave me a copy of the Eloise book.  I remember reading it a million times.




She is so Sassy.

I had heard Betsy Johnson had designed an Eloise Tree at the Plaza so when I was in NYC with the family I knew I had to stop in.




Unfortunately the tree hadn't been unveiled yet, but I at least got to check out the adorable shop and tea area ( How I wish they had this when I was younger!)





I love this picture of Eloise


The store was super cute and full of lots of pink Eloise goodies, there was even a tea room for kids






Since being in NYC the tree was officially revealed!!!

The Wall Street Journal stated the following about the event:

"When the 69-year-old grandmother showed up at the hotel Monday evening for the tree lighting, wearing black high tops and a set of reindeer horns held on her head by a pair of red lace panties, it was immediately clear that she was the perfect choice."
Betsey Johnson is Eloise incarnate.

"Johnson and the fictional six-year-old resident (immortalized in the 1955 storybook, “Eloise”) share more than just a mop of raggedy, blonde hair. They both embody a precocious, do-as-you-please attitude, disregarding the rules and the stiffs who make them. “I totally relate to her,” Johnson said."



Pinkilicious...I'm in Love.

  5. I love ELOISE as well! Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite designers and I have always wished to visit the plaza so I could see the ELOISE room by Betsey and I have always wanted to see the Christmas designs. Maybe one year... now that I live in Pittsburgh I am closer to NYC so maybe someday! xo
