RSVIP: Countdown to Oscars, Global Green Pre-Oscar Party and More

Filed under: Events

zooey deschanelDay two: Breakfast at the timeless Fountain Coffee Room in the basement of the Beverly Hilton Hotel remains heavenly. A large pink napkin completes every setting at the counter. The wallpaper has a broad palm frond pattern. RSVIP had the same thoughtful waitress and the same distinguished gent with long white hair seated beside me as usual. Stellar bacon.

Wednesday evening, the black-and-yellow Bugatti Veyron, a bumblebee of a race car, parked daily outside of Bijan on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and, emblazoned with Ettore Bugatti's initial logo, "EB," was drawing crowds as usual.

In the plush interior of Solange Azagury-Partridge, a gem of a jewelry store, just down the hill, a glam Katharina Harf, near right, was hosting cocktails for DKMS, a center which has registered 2.6 million bone-marrow donors worldwide.

Colorful rings that resembled lips glimmered in a glass display case. And Zooey Deschanel, above right, in a Valentino dress with a glittering gold pattern soon joined the party. Over wee hors d'oeuvres in puffed pastry, wine and sparkling water, Harf mentioned that she founded DKMS in Germany after losing her mother to leukemia.

Sunglasses Kissed by Zooey Deschanel

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Design

Zooey DeschanelZooey Deschanel has been putting her pretty blue eyes and quirky style to good use lately. She's been collaborating with Oliver Peoples to make a fabulously chic collection of sunglasses with a very unusual feature!

The adorable, kitchy 1950's-esque shades (see gallery below) actually display Zooey's kiss print if you fog them with your breath.

Or, I assume, any other way you'd fog up your sunglasses.

Crazy, right? I had to have it demonstrated for me at sunglasses treasure trove ILORI in Soho before I believed it.

Check out the gallery to see Zooey's very own lip print, and some of the "Zooey Deschanel" sunglasses color options -- appropriately quirky, of course.

The sunglasses run from $325 to $375, and are available from the ILORI store near you!
