Upon arriving at the Accessories Council ACE Awards at Cipriani in midtown Manhattan, I was struck by how incredibly GRAND everything was. I hadn't been to event there in a long time. The chandeliers were gargantuan. The marble columns soar to the heavens, lit by a green mood lighting from every angle. It was an assault on the senses in the best possible way. The floral arrangements were stunning, as were the Swarovski crystal touches scattered throughout the flower arrangements on the tables. It was a fitting atmosphere to host a gala honoring the larger-than-life talents in the world of accessories.
