Twenty years ago, HBO debuted Sex and the City, a show about four women living vicariously in New York City, with Manolos on their feet and a Cosmopolitan in their right hand. This show wasn’t just a show, it was a lifestyle representing single fabulous women living out their dreams in New York City. We were there with Carrie when she received the post it note break up all the way to her “something blue” Manolo Blahnik heels when she finally married Mr. Big. From brunching to babies, Sex and the City covered everything about being a woman in the early 2000’s.

Walking into the Medieval and Byzantine Art area of the Met feels as if you are walking into an old monumental church. Crowds solemnly look up at the raised platforms of glittering Dolce & Gabbana and Versace garments like saints coming down from heaven. The overall exhibition is incredibly dramatic, featuring many show-stopping looks from designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix. The entire vibe is almost eerie, with the sounds of church organ music that plays as you walk through the various areas.
Here at our new location of 1125 Madison Ave we are settling into our home, which includes meeting our new neighbors. Today, we thought it would be fun to show you around our new neighborhood and some of the places we Michael’s girls love to visit!
Judith Leiber, an iconic handbag designer since 1939 passed away at the age of 97 on April 30. Her husband of 72 years, the abstract painter Gerson Leiber also passed away within hours of his wife. The couple started the Judith Leiber brand together in 1963, and Leiber quickly became known for her playful and whimsical minaudiere clutch designs.
Family is at the core of what we do here at Michael’s, since 1954! On Mother’s Day especially we would love to take a moment to share some of our favorite things about our own mothers, whether they are far from home or they work alongside us every day (like our President and Vice President, Laura and Tammy!). So today, we are taking a moment to shout out motherhood and give these important women in our lives the spotlight. These women have raised us and shaped us into the people we are today, and we don’t need just one day to thank them for everything they’ve done. Keep reading to hear some of our Michael's girls thoughts on motherhood. 
Hey fellow Michael’s Girls, today we’re coming to you live from our new location at 1125 Madison Avenue! We are so excited to be opening tomorrow in our new home at 84th St. One of the most exciting things about our new location is that we are literally footsteps away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a New York City staple. It’s so surreal to think that just last night we were mere meters away from the majestic celebrity-filled iconic Met Gala red carpet.
