[Lizzie Fortunato Jewel's Shine and Timo Weiland's wallet's have style]
Well I will say if GofG keeps sending me to events like this one its really going to warm my attitude to Manhattan. We went to an ‘intimate cocktail party’ at Piero Lissoni’s By New York Loft, in SOHO for a celebration of the release of two new artfully inspired lines of accessories, Lizzie Fortunato Jewels and Timo! wallets. See photos here. The cocktail party hosted by Annabelle Dexter Jones, and Alexandra Richards, with Flaunt Magazine, St. Germain liquor and Gargyle clothing line was a subtlety lavish affair in an impeccable, cleanly designed space. The Fortunato Jewels (sisters Lizzie and Kathryn shown above) had what I call this ‘cool grandma hippie vibe’ and Lizzie Fortunato, the designer, told me that their new collection, the second of the company’s brief history was inspired by their recent trip to South America and its culture, (and indeed, was ‘helped out’ by the sisters’ grandmother’s needle point work.)
Necklaces, baubles and bangles were displayed on tables and draped and over books and mannequin busts to show the feather and cloth touches that made their line of jewelry so unique. The Timo! wallets, a high design eco-friendly line started in May 2006, were graphic pop-art inspired pieces born out of a need to keep-it-simple and fit in downtown artist, party star and the TIMO in Timo! wallets, Timo Weiland’s back pocket of his skinny jeans. Timo who has since partnered with his mom artist Allison Budkenered and ‘visionary” Burns Hardwick, collaborated with a number of other artists like Icelandic rocker, graffiti artist, and graphic designer Frosti orn Gunnarsson, who crafted illustrations with Timo to comprise the narrative pieces. Don’t just take my word for the art and innovation. Check out the pictures of it and the beautiful folk who supported too. (Photos by Andrew Harris)

Bring a blanket and come downtown for one of the most-
anticipated free concerts of the summer.
The concert is not ticketed, but space is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
To celebrate the Hudson’s 400th anniversary New York City will putting on a fireworks display like never before. To join in the festivities the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square will be offering rooms with perfect views and throwing a rooftop party for the first 100 guests to book rooms. These rooms and the party will be offered at special rates listed below.
Also, if there are people that would only like to attend the rooftop party, there is a special offer for that as well.
Come celebrate independence on the roof of the Rivington!
After a week hiatus we're back on the roof and back to the jacuzzis. The weather is supposed to be nice, so if you've been waiting for an appropriate time to come get loose in a rad New York City penthouse, Thursday is absolutely that time.
Benjamin "B Roc" Ruttner of HeavyRoc Music and Jonathan Price Totaro of Reason NY will be deejaying, bottles in the club, babes, etc etc etc.
We're expecting a lot of people so, if you can, please rsvp to info@lolanewyork.com or try and come early
After celebrating our country all day, spend all night honoring our king...of pop, that is. The Suzie Wong lounge will be spinning Michael Jackson music starting after the fireworks and lasting until the wee hours of dawn.
In late 2007, five young professionals, long connected by both friendship and family, decided to pool and tap into their own altruistic nature while encouraging others to do so. Their forum - the party. Calling themselves ‘fun-raisers’ their track record bears evidence
