Alice + Olivia and Velvet meet

Over the weekend I was walking down Madison Avenue and spotted these two! I had absolutely no idea who they were…just loved their style and the hats.
I could not resist asking them for a picture in a pair of Velvet sunglasses. They were very gracious. It was Stacey Bendet and another gal of Alice and Olivia! The Velvet Joie looks hot on her friend! Thanks Stacey and friend! You ROCK!
