At interior designer Alessandra Branca’s book signing party at Bergdorf Goodman last night. Ms. Branca (pictured above) was so warm and engaging, and spoke passionately about her desire to help inner-city children in Chicago, NYC, Washington DC and LA through the sales of her book, New Classic Interiors (all proceeds benefit children’s programs). 

It was raining (hence the braids, untouched since my Biscuits & Bath appointment earlier), but I was so excited to meet Ms. Branca and learn about her new book…and besides, anytime I can drink champagne before dinner, I am so there.
