I had the pleasure of attending the Vogue magazine Runway Retreat during New York Fashion Week, held at Bar Boulud.  The cozy escape from the madness at the tents allowed bloggers and editors to relax, mingle and imbibe on French fare, champagne and tequila cocktails.  We also got the chance to preview upcoming collections from New York & Company, Brahmin, Jane Iredale and more.

New York & Company has tapped actress Eva Mendes to design a capsule collection for the store.  Launching September 19th online and in stores nationwide.  I got to preview a few of the pieces at the Vogue lounge and I have to say this the entire collection is bound to sell out.

Eva Mendes Exclusively at New York & Company
consists of vintage inspired dresses updated in modern prints and cuts.  There is a knee length polka dot shirt dress that can easily transition from meetings to martinis.  Standout pieces include a pink Milano coat, the statement Allegra necklace and matching bracelet, the Pia Shirt Dress, and the floral Siena skirt.
