GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . last week's very quick trip to nyc was filled with lunch dates and shows, events and soirées, and with a million photographs and so much to tell you, perhaps best to break things up into a few posts so as not to overwhelm . . . first stop was very early last monday morning: mimosas to celebrate the opening of the new flagship tory burch boutique on 797 madison avenue . . .



. . . and there were beautiful brass staircases against rich hardwood floors, floral wallpaper and patterned carpets . . .



. . . and after many emails, skype chats, and nearly a year of her writing for {this is glamorous}, it was wonderful to finally meet laily, in person, and on snow leopard patterned floor coverings . . .

{p.s.} so much more after the jump xo

Ivanka Trump has partnered with Dynamic Diamond Corp. to design a collection of jewellery that was recently unveiled at the opening of her brand new, flagship store on Madison Avenue. While the collection is beautiful, (especially the Diamond briolett double tassel lariat, pictured below) it's her super stylish boutique, done in black and white with splashes of yellow and coral, that is really quite stunning.




{update:}
The design of the shop was done by Brian Humphrey with Kramer Design Group.
