Earlier this year Jason Wu debuted his Grand Tourista travel tote at a party in New York however the tote wasn't the only thing that captured everyone's attention. Mother-and-son team Mary Lynn and Bronson van Wyck created what they dubbed 'Garden in a Glass' the evening's elderflower-and-champagne cocktail by freezing flowers in ice cubes.
Love it!
