Fourth Crazy Night of Chanukah Wish

It’s the fourth night of Chanukah and I’m getting down to business. I need this ring, really, I do. The giant set stone is citrine – a crystal that is said to bring the beholder a sense of focus and positive energy. The designer Paula Mendoza travels the world in search of jewels and inspiration. From Colombia and now based in D.C., she’s been making jewelry for the past five years, completely emerged in the craft. This ring is phenomenal and everything I need in my life.

I found it on Boticca for about $520. But a small price to pay for jewelry with a piece of mind.

Happy Chanukah.

Carmen Marc Valvo to Show at Citrine Lounge NYC

When I think Citrine, I think of porcelain-faced model boys, college girls ready for a Sex and the City-styled night out, and Christian Siriano (the Project Runway hosted his birthday bash there). I’ve never thought, however, that the venue could be home to Carmen Marc Valvo’s show for the upcoming February Fashion Week.

Valvo’s three hour presentation will be held at Citrine in the Flatiron District, the lounge turned runway which the designer appropriately snagged for gratis! It’s part of the spots goal to bring back real fashion into the nightlife scene.

It might not be the biggest space for a show, but the recession-ready Citrine sure beats the nearly $50,000 for tent space or Marc Jacob’s estimated $1 million splurge on the Lexington Avenue Armory.
