Welcome to Mercer Street. After growing and selling MONTSERRAT New York, Carolina Cordon-Bouzan is onto the next brand! Carolina created Mercer Street because she felt there was a need in the market for jewelry that could be paired with your favorite brands without breaking the bank. In a world where fashion can often feel exclusive and unattainable, she’s made it our purpose to redefine the game. Carolina believes that luxury shouldn't be reserved for the elite few, and that's why every piece in their collection is priced under $100.

Mercer Street is a brand after my own heart. Their collection is elegant, chic, and are the perfect pieces to wear both day and night. Below, Carolina has a new take on wine pairings and has matched pieces from Mercer Street with some of her a favorite spots around the city. And many of her picks make for fabulous Holiday gifts!

1. Il Cantinori - For the best martini in all of NYC (expensive, but worth it!). I usually like to dress on the more formal side, as it's an old school NYC spot, so I've recently been wearing our Elsa Cuff and Bar Earrings in Silver! / Location: Greenwich Village

2. Sorso - Great new wine bar by the owner of Madman Espresso. Recently wore our Elsa Cuff here as well! / Location: Greenwich Village

3. Fanelli's - For the best cheap martini in NYC, and a casual spot to meet up with friends. I'd style the Silver Huggie Trio for this happy hour! / Location: Soho

4. Jac’s - For the Caprese Martini, of course! I'll be wearing the Goldleaf Earrings to pair back with this martini! / Location: NoHo

5. Pisellino - For the Negroni lovers! I'll be wearing The Disc Earrings here! / Location: West Village

6. Angel's Share - A family-owned bar and staple of downtown NY for years! My friend Erina Yoshida has now taken over for her father. Known for exceptional cocktails from highly trained Japanese cocktail makers. I'd wear our Bold Triangle Hoop here. / Location: East Village

7. King Cole Bar - For after work power drinks in midtown. Exceptional drinks, and fun people watching! I would wear our Butterfly Cuff from the office to afterwork drinks here! / Location: Upper East Side

8. Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle - An all time favorite for the Upper East Side. You can catch me wearing our Overlay Cuff here for a few martinis or G&Ts! / Location: Upper East Side

9. The Mark Bar at The Mark Hotel - Some of the best people watching in Manhattan! In fact, I love it so much here that I named our Mark Earrings after this bar! So it's a no-brainer that I'd be wearing them there :) / Location: Upper East Side

10. The Nines - Where to sip on martinis while listening to some live piano playing. It's a fashion heavy crowd here, so I'd wear a statement piece like our Kite Earrings. / Location: NoHo
