I've never had a real party for just me before, so this is great. All of my friends are here -- my professional friends and my personal friends -- to support me. My parents are here, they flew in from Philadelphia, and so are my mentors! It's so surreal.\n\nQ: What did you make from your outfit today?\n\nA: I made my necklace! It's a project from the new book. It's a necklace made out of rings, so here you'll see vintage rings, rings from parties, class rings, even a ring from my brother's Bar Mitzvah. They're all just tied on a string!\n\nQ: How did you come up with this idea?\n\nA: I had a bunch of rings... and I love my rings, but you really only wear one or two on your fingers. But, my philosophy with jewelry is \"more is more\", so I thought to myself, \"How can I get my rings to fit into that concept?\" So I made them a statement necklace.\n\nQ: You're quite the Tweet-er. Are your followers here?\n\nA: Yes! Quite a bit of my Twitter peeps are here, including DKNY PR Girl, Bergdorf Goodman, my good friend AJ Mukamal, and John Jannuzzi.\n\nQ: Tell us about your outfit.\n\nWell, my best friend gave me this Hermes bracelet as a gift for being a bridesmaid at her wedding. The dress is Bensoni.\n\nQ: And the shoes?\n\nA: The shoes are from Barneys! I actually wasn't supposed to get them. I had gone shopping at Barneys and bought two dresses, but the security sensor was still on one of my dresses when I got home! I literally walked back in and promised myself I would look at nothing... but then, on my way out, I passed these shoes. I was like, \"Seven and a half!\"\n\nQ: It's your first book that's being published. What's it like?\n\nA: PS - It's my first book! It's kinda crazy, but it's such a cool thing. One of my friends said to me, \"It's like your life in book form!\" And that's kind of the way I feel, it's like, if someone asked \"Who's Erica?\" you could give them this book. It's me.\n\nP.S. - I Made This... ($13) is available for purchase on Amazon.com."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
