BPR Field Reporter Trish O visited Emmett McCarthy's boutique last week and sends us this report - thanks Trish!
So last Thursday night I ventured into NYC for Emmett's holiday bash/sale. It's always a treat to visit with Emmett and his staff and to check out the fabulous merchandise.
He had some great new shoes on display as well as some new dresses (and some that were marked down so much that it was impossible to pass them by!) I picked up a cute dress and when I wear it on New Year's Eve, I'll send some pics :)
Emmett's been very busy (and obviously stressed over the economy and its effect on retail) but the store looks great and the event was a lot of fun! (He had one the week before, but the weather did not cooperate - which isn't uncommon for an EMc2 event. I still remember the first big event a few summers back and the monsoon I drove through to get there!)
Tonight from 5:00 - 8:00 enjoy shopping and refreshments at Emmett McCarthy's boutique. RSVP for this event by calling 212 431 4134 or e-mail info@emmettmccarthy.com
Just in time for the holidays you can select fashions tonight on QVC by Season 3 finalist Laura Bennett and Season 2 winner Chloe Dao. Between 8 and 10 Eastern tonight you can watch 'PM Style® -featuring Holiday Designer Gallery.' You can click here to see the elegant and glamorous Laura Bennett offerings and you can click here to see the fun and trendy Chloe Dao garments.
While you're shopping, don't forget that Season 2 designer Emmett McCarthy has some chic handbags (click here) and that Season 1 winner Jay McCarroll also features gorgeous garments on QVC (go to QVC and enter 'Jay McCarroll' in the search box); I always receive compliments when I wear my Jay McCarroll Checkerbox Topper Coat in the grey combo.
Be fabulous on a budget with Project Runway designers and QVC!

NYC-based field reporter, Trish O, was at Emmett McCarthy's Shoe Sale on Wednesday night. Here is her report. Thanks again Trish! Well - a tough and demanding school year has come to an end and after all the work I put into it, I decided that my "sole needed some saving!" so I took a trip into New York City to Emmett McCarthy's "Who Will Save Your Sole?" shoe sale at his EMc2 boutique on Wednesday night! Every time I visit the store, the displays are so different and quite striking. This time the focus was of course - on the shoes!
We headed out to the Hammerstein Ballroom for the A-List Awards, picked up our tickets in the lobby (thanks Andy!) and headed for the party. The first "Bravo-lebrity" I saw was Oscar from "Step it up and Dance." Next I met Peter Shelton and realized that I should maybe get my camera out.
Kara Janx is lovely and we admired photos of Baby Dylan.
Kit Pistol and Kevin Christiana were adorable.
Here are three more of our Season Two Favorites - Diana Eng, Chloe Dao and Emmett McCarthy.
