In September, I attended a really fun tweet up lounge hosted by my friend Jonathan Valdez of Orange Juice & Biscuits. I’m very excited to announce that this year we’ll be hosting one together Sunday February 12 from 1:30-2:30pm at The Empire Hotel in NYC.

With the craziness of fashion week, this is the perfect opportunity to take a little break (and mingle with Jon and I!) Need a hair pick-me-up? You can get your hair braided in a variety of cool ways at the John Barrett braid bar, recharge your phone and view live art installations while you sketch your message to stop bullying. Guests can also enjoy amenities from Smartwater, Baked by Melissa, Popchips, and Whistle Pig Straight Rye Whiskey.

Vogue Italia January 2012: The Collections on IVC

When it comes to fashion magazines, the highlight of my reading experience is always the main editorial. Unfortunately, American fashion mags rarely get as creative as their European counterparts…and the latest spread in Vogue Italia is the perfect example. “The Collections on IVC” is pretty genius, in my opinion, and I love it so much I just had to share it!

Pretend like QVC sold Prada and Versace and used top models to display their designs….and this is what you’d get.

Dana Rebecca Designs in InStyle’s September Issue

I recently found out that one of my favorite jewelry lines, Dana Rebecca, was featured in the September issue of InStyle!

I posted about the Dana Rebecca trunk show last month, where I purchased the gorgeous Orna ring, and guess what was showcased in this “Meet The Jeweler” feature?

The Orna ring!

I am so happy for Dana Levy, designer and owner of Dana Rebbeca Designs, and it’s so cool to have a local Chicago designer be featured in the September issue of InStyle. It hits news stands today!
