carol marie launch party!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who came out to support us this week for the official launch party for carol marie! The atmosphere at Avenue was perfect with PBR and vodka flowing freely & tunes from our favorite DJ Sergio as well as a performance by Cara Salimando. Check out images below for those of you who missed out on the fun!

So nervous for our big night!

The venue. We love the vintage chic aesthetic of Avenue!

A special performance by Columbia records artist Cara Salimando!

With Alan, one half of the design duo from Timo Weiland.

We're off to a running start with the carol marie Fall 2010 collection! Shopbop just picked us up, we showed the collection at editor preview days & we did the open-see day for new designers at Henri Bendel. Open-see is how tons of big designers like Anna Sui & Todd Oldham got their start in the industry. We got in line at 5 am and stood in the cold for 4 hours before we got in. But it was all worth the wait - stand by for the dates of the carol marie trunk show at Bendels NY this summer!!! And of course you can always check out & shop the newest styles at www.carolmariedesign.com

carol marie hits the east village!

We're all about supporting other younger designers so we spent this past Saturday afternoon sipping on champagne and sorbet celebrating Timo Weiland at Pas de Deux in the east village. Design duo Timo and Alan were there to celebrate in the compact-but-chic boutique that looks just like your dream closet. Pas de Deux carries a perfectly edited selection of all of the best clothing & accessories that you want right now from the coolest designers. We fell in love with the Timo Weiland bow ties for women. Can't wait to rock them this spring!

But the best part of the day? Scoping out the glass jewelry display case where our very own carol marie jewelry is now available for purchase! Go check it out kids...
