new design gem
I. Gorman Jewelers recently relocated to a swank new showroom designed by Washington’s Hickok Cole Architects. The space has an inviting but unmistakably hip vibe with floating display cases and a white-resin beverage bar. It’s the perfect backdrop to spotlight I. Gorman’s well-edited collection, including a pendant and cufflinks by jewelry designer Todd Reed. 1133 20th Street, NW; www.igorman.com

We love the Dior Gypsy hobo in soft red leather from the spring 2008 collection. Its curvy contours are embellished with perforated ruffles—too much fun to resist. Available in three sizes, the medium is $1,750 at Dior, 5471-E Wisconsin Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD, or the Dior handbag boutique in Saks Fifth Avenue in
Tysons Galleria; www.dior.com
