Petite: Eloise + Brooklyn

Eloise leaving The Plaza? It only makes sense that she'd head to Brooklyn.

Don't we all have a fondness for Eloise and her life at The Plaza? Talk about every little girl's dream. Eloise has been turning six every year since 1955 and living it up in the Upper East Side (our kinda girl!). Even though she's not growing up anytime soon, she is developing her hipster sensibilities by moving into the fab Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn. Illustrator Joana Avillez captures the hilarious and very Eloise daily trails in her immortalized youth last month in New York Magazine.

The new illustrations freshen up the history of Eloise without losing any of the pizazz we were used to at The Plaza. At P.O.S.H., we have our own little Eloise, Laurel's pint-size pistol Chloe. Like Eloise, she will be turning six this year, has the same penchant for creating her own fun, had a nickname for everyone she met while staying at The Plaza, and knows all about Brooklyn thanks to Solange Knowles. The new story line reminded us of Eloise-themed decor that Chloe would approve of for a petite buffet and tables. Read all about it and get inspired for your own P.O.S.H.Petite tablescape here.

Plan: Petite Parties

We love a good party, and that extends to the little ones we have running around. We're not the only ones thinking this -- everyone from Oscar de la Renta and DVF to J. Crew's Crewcuts has managed to keep your kids looking fresh and cute. We picked some of our favorite looks (which have ranges from newborn to age 14) and treats. So the next time you call on POSH Petite for a party, keep these other goodies in mind.

1 & 2: Blooms Candy & Soda Pop Shop | 3: Tiff's Treats Cookie Delivery Service (comes with ice-cold milk!) | 4. Gucci Kids | 5. Hadleigh's Bespoke Lifestyle Baby Slippers (a Dallas must-have) | 6. Oscar de la Renta Childrens | 7. DVF Loves GapKids Collection (currently available in Paris, Tokyo, Brussels and Hong Kong) | 8. Oscar de la Renta Childrens

Tabletop Tuesday: POSH Petite

As you can see from the previous post, we had the chance to contribute to the Salvation Army's Fashion Show Auxiliary Luncheon yesterday. Here is a peek at the POSH Petite line dreamed up by Jami Goetze and Laurel Howell - perfect for a birthday party or children's area at your next event or wedding.

Our ladies love Serendipity, the New York City cafe known for it's over-the-top Frrrozen Hot Chocolate and sweets and treats. We extended the theme to our girls table with a serendipitous birthday party, complete with pink polka dot plates, hot pink scalloped chargers, pink carnival glasses, and black and white striped linens.  The buffet held an adorable ferris wheel cupcake holder with a variety of pedestals, platters, and milk glass for treats from Society Bakery.

Surprises come in small packages: These miniature pink chiavari chairs pack a punch. What little girl wouldn't want this for a birthday party? This is also perfect for a flower girl table at your wedding.

The girls aren't the only ones having fun. We went with a nautical theme for the boys. Orange cups and footed bowls, rattan charges, and navy linens were a hit for little sailors.

POSH Petite: Vintage Carnival

Why should adults get to have all the fun? We now offer POSH Petite Rentals for your little prince and princess. Stay tuned for more behind the line. But before you go, check out these precious picks from the new line from Andrea Polito Photography featuring Emily Clarke and Company. Be warned: It might be too adorable for words. 

How cute are these miniature white chiavari chairs?

Pink chiavari chairs with pink and white striped linens. I'm thinking of an Alice in Wonderland tea party.

Don't you love when the serving equipment actually looks cool? This is a great way to make sure your little one wants a milk mustache.

You really can never have too much candy, right?

Carnival themes aren't complete without a ferris wheel cupcake holder. Especially if said cupcakes are from Society Bakery.

More milk, please.

Literally buckets of fun.
