Vanessa Lachey joins Crocs for the opening of its New York City flagship.

Actress and TV host Vanessa Lachey was on hand to help Crocs celebrate the opening of its flagship on 34th Street in New York City last week. The day kicked off with a ribbon cutting ceremony outside the store where Lachey was joined by Crocs execs Dan Hart (chief legal and administrative officer), Dale Bathum (chief product officer) and Greg Sullivan (general manager of the Americas) and 34th Street Store Manager Mario Caruso. Afterwards, Lachey went inside where she was greeted with a Crocs cake from Carlo’s Bakery, home of TLC’s “Cake Boss,” which recreated the Manhattan store’s exclusive “I (Heart) NY” shoes, and shopped the two-story space for styles for her family, decorating a backpack with Jibbitz for her son, Camden, and picking up a pair of flip-flops for her husband, Nick.
