NIGHTLIGHT: Second Time Around: Resale Goes Upscale and Uptown with Alex McCord

New York¹s social and fashionista crowd met and mingled Tuesday night amongst the Real Housewives of NYC at the official launch of Second Time Around¹s newest location at 1040 Lexington Avenue near 75th on Manhattan's upper east side, sponsored by Gotham Magazine and YOUAREONTHELIST.com.  Peachy Deegan was pleased to see Alex McCord, an upcoming Mover and Shaker.  Alex looked fabulous in a green blazer!

Alex McCord, STA's Director of Creative Operations, hosted the event with her husband and sidekick Simon van Kempen, and was turned out in style in a cream silk shift and Christian Dior jacket chosen from the store by their stylist Alegra Torel. The party spilled out onto the street as guests shopped and sipped VOGA Champagne, replenished their thirst with Jana Water and snacked on delicious mini-cupcakes from Baked By Melissa plus a variety of PopChips. Alex and Simon were joined by their castmates from Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer, Jennifer Gilbert and LuAnn deLesseps. 


Others enjoying the fun were company president Jeff Casler and his wife Susan, Emma Snowdon-Jones, Susan Shin, Emerald Gravel, Jeff Wexler, Nick Dietz, Justine McCarthy, Robert Fowler, Jared Clark, Anisha Lakhani, Stephanie Newhouse, Michel Witmer, Joseph Magnone and Edward Garou, Derek Warburton, Tia and Peggie Walker and Robin Ross.

Second Time Around is a family-run chain of contemporary, designer, consignment clothing boutiques based on Newbury Street in Boston (Whom You Know LOVES Newbury Street!  Did you know Peachy Deegan lived there prior to Manhattan!)  with stores up and down the east coast and Chicago. The Lexington Avenue store is their 23rd location.
