As promised, here are a few more photos from the Fashion Group International Rising Star Awards<\/a>. My guests for the awards lunch, which was at the midtown Cipriani,<\/a> were my husband, MrB; my father, GeorgeB; and my gorgeous client Christine. Christine is the client who ordered a special tiger ring and, not long after receiving it, generously loaned it back to me so that I could enter it in the awards voting.<\/p>\n

Click for my original post on this ring.<\/p><\/div>\n

Of course, I didn’t need to invite my gorgeous friend Stacy Lomman<\/a> because she was a finalist in the women’s ready-to-wear category<\/a> and got her own invitation from FGI. Here are (from the left) Stacy, Christine, me and GeorgeB before the awards started.<\/p>\n

Does the background person between Christine and me count as a photobomber?<\/p><\/div>\n

We had a celebratory dinner at Blue Water Grill<\/a> that night, and MrB showed off his Wendy Brandes cufflinks.<\/p>\n

He's wearing the Medici poison cufflinks.<\/p><\/div>\n

Stacy was still wearing my Empress Wu dragon ring<\/a>; the lapis lazuli in it was a good match for her self-designed top.<\/p>\n

Nose in the air!<\/p><\/div>\n

While at the restaurant, we took some photos of the back of my Stacy Lomman-designed\u00a0 dress. Unfortunately, none of model Tina J’s posing skills rubbed off on me during this week’s lookbook shoot<\/a>, and I wasn’t content with any of the photos. (But Stacy will post them, so keep an eye on her blog<\/a>.) I have another chance, though: I love the dress so much I’m wearing it to an event next weekend.<\/p>\n

Today, I posed Gigi the dog with my award in the style of my “dogs with purses<\/a>” photo.<\/p>\n

\nThe only reason she looks a little enthusiastic is because it was breakfast time and she was expecting her kibble!<\/p>\n
