Congratulations to Seven New York on their ten year anniversary. 10 years…that’s insane! In such a challenging economy, when so many shops and labels are shuttering, news like this brightens may day and proves that with enough innovation, clear vision and hard work ten years is a realistic milestone.

To celebrate they’re offering 10% off their entire shop through Feb. 28 w/ code “SEVENISTEN”. Trust me, they NEVER offer discounts off full-priced merchandise so this is noteworthy! They’re having a party too, see flier for details.
Caitlin Mociun is celebrating the launch of her jewelry collection with a private shopping party and sale. See image for details!

Thanks to the lovely Lena Corwin for the tip.
