The holidays are not just about family, food and drinks in NYC - it’s also the height of social season and its attendant cultural events. Who buys a couture dress just to wear to a family dinner, if you know what we mean? This week, prep for the upcoming party circuit at the rare-as-diamond Carolina Herrera sample sale; take in a free Shakespeare play at the Public Theater; toast to the launch of a career retrospective of David Hockney at the Met; and get lash extensions à la archetypal NYC party girl Holly Golightly, and turn heads from tree-trimming to gala to company bash. Like Audrey Hepburn said, “the beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes.” True that!
