New year; new chances; new perspectives; and, tapping into all of the above, a new presidential administration. If you're a gal who has found herself invited to an inaugural celebration, I've got a great shop for you.  more

 Setting The Standard
.
 
High Style! Rising above the
 Meatpacking District is Andre
 Balaz's new luxury hotel -
 The Standard offers fabulous
