>>  It's official:  the whole "Where will New York Fashion Week take place from now on?" quandary has been rectified -- sort of.  Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that NYFW will stay at Bryant Park for the Fall 2007 shows (yay!), and will have to find a new home after that (boo!).  I have to say, I thought Bryant Park was a great venue for the tents, with the trees and the green ironworking and the good location.  I am disappointed to hear of this decision (which even Anna Wintour couldn't prevent), but what is done is done.

>> Can I just say that this doctor bag by 3.1 Phillip Lim is fantastic?   The leather looks so rich and soft, and I love the turn-of-the-century vintagey feel it has going on.  Very unique.  And it has chains -- I'm a sucker for a bag with chains, and these give this doctor bag a slight hint of rocker. 

>>  Linda Evangelista gave birth to a baby boy, Augustin James Evangelista, on Wednesday in New York City.  Congratulations to her!
