Roberta Freymann Flowers

I am loving Roberta Freymann's new Summer 2010 advertisement that was shot by photographer Elizabeth Lipmann at Associated Cut Flowers in New York. The cute flower filled photo above is the only final one that I can find but there are some behind the scenes photos online that hint at the others to come. Definitely makes me want to buy some cute dresses and necklaces for summer! Bon Weekend!

Pretty Ballerinas

I was just lamenting the other day that I couldn't find any good flats. Loeffler Randall used to be my go to source but they don't have any for sale for spring. So I was very excited when my friends and I decided to stop into Pretty Ballerinas after my birthday lunch at JG Melon. Ballerina flats can be tricky because not all of them are comfortable but the Pretty Ballerinas felt comfortable the minute I slipped them on. They also offer what seems like a million different styles! I loved some of the snakeskin options but they were out of them in my size so I settled on the Marilyn in grosgrain ribbon above (they look better in person!). Pretty Ballerinas have been popular in Europe but just opened their first store in the US in New York. I highly recommend that you check them out. Your feet will thank you for it!

Chic in New York: Gap & CFDA Limited Edition Collection

The CFDA was very busy this week. First, they announced that they would be releasing American Fashion Designers at Home this fall and today, they have unveiled their collaboration with the Gap. The three CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners, Monique Péan, Patrik Ervell and Sophie Théallet, have designed special pieces that will be sold exclusively at the Gap's Fifth Avenue store. I'd take a walk over there today before they're gone! Happy Shopping!

Chic in Sag Harbor: Ruby Beets

This weekend, I spent visiting all my favorite stores in Sag Harbor which included Ruby Beets, a favorite of almost every designer. It's a small space but it's packed to the rafters with new and antique treasures. I especially loved all the lamps and photographs of sea and sky by Mary Ellen Bartley but in reality, I could have bought everything in the shop! I highly suggest you make Ruby Beets a priority on your next trip to the Hamptons. You definitely won't be disappointed!

Housing Works Design on a Dime 2010

Housing Works is very popular among the design crowd in New York and it seemed like every designer in New York came out to support this wonderful charity at their annual Design on a Dime event last night! The place was packed with people ready to shop for a good cause and I even saw two people fighting over a chair so you know the items up for sale were top notch! I honestly think it was better than last year! I want to give a big shout out and thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated or shopped! I know it took a lot of work to put this event together and the amount of creativity that went into each room was amazing! I especially loved Charlotte Moss's room above! I hope you enjoy the photos and will stop by on Friday and Saturday so you too can shop till you drop! I want to point out that some of the pieces shown in these photos were probably sold last night but they will be replenishing all the rooms over the next two days with more items. Happy Shopping!
