Planning on being at Bergdorf Goodman for Fashion’s Night Out this year? Here is another reason to consider it – famed fine jewelry designer Sydney Evan has created a limited-edition bracelet in celebration of Fashion’s Night Out. The New York themed bracelet takes a modern approach to the classic “I heart NY” slogan. Made in 14k yellow or rose gold with diamonds, the bracelet will retail for $575 exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.
I’m ready for the casual, laid back vibe of summer. Long sundresses, ponytails, tinted moisturizer, sandals and simple accessories. These new pendants from one of my favorite jewelry lines, Hazel and Harlow, totally fit my vibe.
Love Bird Pendant ($150), Heart Shaped Life Vine Pendant ($125), Antiqued Hummingbird Pendant ($150)
Antiqued Crescent Moon Pendant ($150), Antiqued Flower Teardrop Pendant, ($85), and/or Antiqued Flower in a Frame Pendant ($95)
Who doesn’t need an extra $500 to go shopping with? $250 at Hazel and Harlow and $250 at BeyondtheRack.com
is up for grabs.

I found my new favorite shoe store – Shoe Woo. Or, at least it’s my favorite when there isn’t a Nordstroms handy.
I found Shoe Woo at Union Station in Washington DC when I was waiting for my Amtrak train back to Virginia Beach. Amazing what you find at that place, I swear! Anyway, the brand name is actually Shoe Woo, but I was unable to find them on their website, which made me sad. Everyone should be able to buy these things.
At any rate, they are doing a 30% off sale, and carry brands such as Nine West/Boutique 9, Rachel Ray, Anne Klein, New Balance, Joan and David, and many more.
Shopping isn’t limited to just shoes. They also carry super cute accessories such as handbags, watches, scarves, and other extras. Check them out at ShoeWoo.com.
Which is cuter? Obvs baby Tabitha is, but still. Speaking as a mom, I’m always thrilled when I see new moms still looking good – it was not easy for me. Now I know SJP has nannies, which make it easier to do everything. I’m more than a little jealous about that. However, she looks like a hands-on mom, which is always good to see.
Now, about that bag! She’s carrying a Jérôme Dreyfuss “Twee Mini” from the spring/summer collection. It retails at about $550. You can pick one up at the new Jérôme Dreyfuss boutique in SoHo, or visit the website.
I’m going to go ahead and admit it: I’m a fiend for handbags. All accessories, really, but handbags are my special love. I don’t actually own as many as people think I do – only 9, but they are mercilessly edited. Nor do I stick only to extremely high-priced bags, two in my current collection are designer lines by Target. I have a black Gucci bag that is circa 1988, that my mother brought back from Italy when she was an international flight attendant for TWA, as well as a 1989 LV bag that came from Paris. I don’t carry these, however, because I would die if something spilled on them.

Known as the Parisian girl’s favorite bag, Jérôme Dreyfuss has brought his esthetic to the East coast by opening a new boutique in New York City’s SoHo area at 473 Broome Street between Greene and Wooster Streets.
