Boo! … Halloween is fast approaching … and I can’t wait to celebrate at tomorrow’s big Halloween Kiddie Parade on Worth Avenue … Mirror Mirror has donated fabulous auction gifts for this very special annual event … What can I say … I always liked treats better than the tricks!

More details about the parade:

Witches, wizards, ghosts and goblins are billed as the guests of honor Oct. 27, when Worth Avenue landlord Burt Handelsman will throw his annual Halloween Costume Contest.
In its 21st year, the free event turns the scenic Gucci Courtyard into a daylight den of fright and fun. Hundreds of participants dare to be scary, vying for prizes donated by Worth Avenue merchants.
Registration will be from 10:30 to 11 a.m. at the courtyard entrance. The contest will begin at 11:30 a.m., with judging in three categories: infants to age 2, ages 3 to 6 and ages 7 to 10.
Sherry Frankel, president of the Worth Avenue Association, event chairwoman, praised Handelsman for picking up the tab so many area children can play dress-up.
Where else can ghosts and goblins mix with their own kind, “in broad daylight and with the blessing of the Palm Beach Police Department?” quipped Frankel, who calls herself “Scary Sherry, Witchtress of Ceremonies.”

Lily Capehart, known as “The Lizard Whisperer” for her appearances on television with David Letterman and Ellen DeGeneres, will make a special appearance, Frankel said.
Merchants who have donated prizes include Neiman Marcus, Chanel, Ta-boó, Wachovia Bank, Amici Ristorante, Mackenzie-Childs, Ralph Lauren, Gucci Palm Beach, Sherry Frankel’s Melangerie, Eye of the Needle, Victor’s Cafe, Bonpoint, Margaritaville, Vivi’s, Grande Armee, Okra, Tourneau, Commerce Bank, Mirror Mirror, Sunset Pilates, Kassatly’s, Marley’s Palm Beach Collection, Erwin Pearl, Saks Fifth Avenue, Eclectica, St. John and Juicy Couture.

Prizes will be awarded in each age category for various criteria: funniest, scariest and most creative.
Judges this year will include Nancy Mizelle, of Commerce Bank; Gucci Courtyard resident Richard Halpern; Palm Beach Daily News Editor Pat Thomas; Tara Zigler, manager of Juicy Couture, and retailer Barbara Katz.

Handelsman conceived the event to make the Avenue more approachable.
With its reputation as a sophisticated shopping venue, the district’s mystique can be intimidating, “but this shows we’re just real people,” Frankel said.

For more information, call Sherry Frankel’s Melangerie at 655-1996.

Stay tuned … On Saturday film crews are jetting in from New York to film a hot new reality tv show pilot right in our Boutique & Beauty offices! … More details to follow …

Whenever I’m in New York I love to check out the hip new restaurants … so I grabbed some friends and hit Employees Only in the West Village for dinner … They have a fortune teller in the window (I’m much better ha ha!) … and the whole place has a rough-around-the-edges speakeasy vibe. We set up a table in the back garden … feasting & drinking for hours until making our way to a hot little dance club nearby to burn off those calories. The restaurant was a bit hit or miss … but if you love that edgy hipster scene and old-school cocktails … Employees Only is right up your alley.

Who doesn’t love a great party centered around beauty? PrettyCity and Syneron are throwing a hot Beauty Bash in West Palm Beach on Oct. 16th (5pm-9pm) and Mirror Mirror is donating some fabulous beauty treats for the goodie bags!

I can’t wait for this event … there will be complimentary wine and nibbles, plus VelaShape slimming treatments and relaxing hand therapies!

The Mirror Mirror Palm Beach office has been a whirlwind of activity … I’ve barely had time to think! … We’ve been burning the midnight oil on several exciting new beauty projects … including a fabulous trend tour in New York City!

Jimmy Choo … Christian Louboutin … Tory Burch … Catherine Malandrino … we hit all of the hottest fashion spots. The weather was perfect, the hot new trends were in full force, and we even caught a glimpse of the filming for the “Sex and the City” movie! I also spied Dr. N.V. Perricone while lunching at the ultra-swanky King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel.

Between cocktails at the Waverly Inn … manicures at the Kenneth Salon at the Waldorf-Astoria (where Angelina Jolie had just come in to get her nails done!) … breakfast at the luxe new London Hotel … my hair appointment at John Sahag … lunch at Saint Ambroeus … and a quick … there was so much to see and do & I’m still trying to recover from it all!

As many of you probably know, Dame Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop & an amazing visionary, died last month at the age of 64.

The Body Shop is a client of mine & as such I had the great pleasure to meet & work with Anita … her passion to beauty & the environment was truly inspiring! … she really paved the way for socially conscious beauty brands …

I plan to celebrate Anita’s incredible legacy with a trip to The Body Shop … which has a fab new metallic cosmetics collection … which Mirror Mirror helped develop … plus their beloved body butters … pick something up in honor of a woman who changed the face of beauty …

I also just returned from an amazing trip to New York City, where I attended the Accessory Show and spotted some fabulous trends for the Palm Beach boutique. … Palm Beachers are going to love these hot items so make sure you pop by the store to see what’s new … The Accessory Show was wonderful and I can’t wait for the next one! … PSST … if you can’t make it out to Palm Beach, take heart … we’re about to launch a brand-new Shopping section on this site so you get great style with the click of a mouse … stay tuned!
