As someone who loves handbags, I was thrilled to be invited to the launch of the Danielle Nicole Diane collection on Thursday night. I asked Emily to join me, and a few hours of shopping with my best friend ended up being the ultimate study break. We sampled a new Stella Artois cider beer (hitting US stores tomorrow), made handbag wish lists (this one’s being added to my closet next!), and enjoyed meeting the creative director herself.
Danielle was so sweet, and after talking for a few minutes, we quickly realized that we have several mutual friends. The Baltimore native now lives in New York, and her showroom is in the same building as the Jill Stuart office (where I interned last summer). Among some familiar faces, I also had the pleasure of meeting the city mayor and chatting with her about our favorite pieces of jewelry. It was a great event–I’m already planning a trip to the city to scope out the entire handbag collection.
P.S. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers! x
