Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Trump - aSmallworld.net magazine

"I tried on a 300,000-dollar necklace; it felt wonderful" managed to belt out Quest Magazine's Elizabeth Meigher as her car drove away from the Madison Avenue boutique on the night of February 5th. In this occasion, Ivanka Trump opened the doors of her recently inaugurated boutique, featuring her own jewellery collection, to ASW Members in celebration of Valentine's Day. The pieces, which sport an exquisitely tasteful signature oval shape, were the centre of attention of the evening and merged seamlessly in an Ivanka Trump-signature coral-tinted sea of New York ASW Members.

As she walked through the flagship boutique, an effortlessly stunning Trump would come up to greet guests personally. "How are you? It's nice to see you. Thank you for coming," the New York Real Estate heiress would say. As for her favourite piece of jewellery in the room, Trump responded, " Too hard to tell. I like them all."

The guests—mostly gentlemen—were greeted by an assortment of Johnnie Walker Gold cocktails and were invited to peruse the collection in search of, as Trump herself put it, "the perfect Valentine's Day gift." Guests like Fabian Basabe, who made an appearance with pal Chudney Ross, also found it hard to choose a favourite: "They're all beautiful," Basabe said.

Some of the most notable guests in attendance included ASW's Joe Robinson, Holly Doran, and Sabine Heller along with Donald Trump Jr., Vanessa Trump, Dimitri de Yougoslavie, Vogue's Genevieve Bahrenberg, Addison O'Dea, Tara Subkoff, Nicola Blatsiotis, Alex Sapir, Steve and Heather Mnuchin, Joseph Varet, Pheobe Gubelmann and Eric Villency, who arrived accompanied by wife Kimberly. When asked about the jewellery, the furniture designer replied: "The collection is fantastic. She [Ivanka] did a great job."
