SABON's Summer Soiree

I was thrilled to have a chance to attend Sabon’s Summer Soiree this past week. Held at their newly renovated flagship store on the upper west side, the private celebration featured a red carpet, signature Sabon-inspired cocktails, desserts, luxe mini hand treatments and a floral crown social station. In addition, they also unveiled their first-ever Sabon Soap lab where guests had an opportunity to see how the soap was made.

VIP guests, including Israeli celebrities Bar Paly, Moran Atias and Shani Atias as well as editors and bloggers were also introduced to Sabon’s new ‘Enjoy The Present’ Holiday collection and Dead Sea Line. 

A fabulous red carpet was setup right outside of the store. Of course I couldn’t resist to get my picture taken! There is something so exciting about being on a red carpet, and it definitely set the mood for the rest of Sabon’s incredible evening. 

Sabon’s mission is to create and offer an unparalleled range of exceptional bath and body products using time-honored remedies based on the finest natural ingredients. 

First launching in Tel Aviv, Israel, Sabon opened for business in the mid-nineties. Since, Sabon has become an international network with 130 locations around the world and in major cities including New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam, and Rome.   

It's Officially Summer With OFF! & Guest Of A Guest At The Maritime Hotel!

You know that one epic evening of Summer that you’ll always remember? The OFF® and Guest of a Guest’s style bash was certainly it for me. Hosted at the chic Cabanas in the Maritime Hotel, the event featured classic Summer activities like mini-golf, an outdoor décor tutorial courtesy of NYC florist Something May, s’mores by a fire pit and music by DJ Jilly Hendrix. 

And what’s an over-the-top Summer party without a few celebrities?! Notable guests included Stacy London, Lo Bosworth, Azeeza Khan, Jess Levin, Michelle Mcswain, Sarah Haman, Gigi Burris, Annette & Phoebe Stephens, Rachelle Hrushka Macpherson and many more!

The backyard style bash was a perfect reminder for guests to get back outside this Summer and stay protected with OFF!.

One of my favorite moments was meeting former Laguna Beach star and current fashion blogger Lo Bosworth. Lo now writes a popular fashion blog called TheLoDown.com.

Ivanka Trump Shop For a Cause Boutique Soiree

The Shop for a Cause soiree was held at the Ivanka Trump boutique in Soho to benefit the Orthopaedic Foundation's 2014 "Dr. for a Day" Program.

The Dr. for a Day program gives students the experience of being a doctor for the day, working alongside top orthopaedic surgeons.

Chaired by Karen Kollitides, the shopping party had a wide array of exquisite Ivanka Trump jewelry, handbags, and shoes to choose from.

Ivanka personally curated some of her favorite pieces and offered 20% to support the cause.

World renowned wine connoisseur, Jim Clendenen, from Au Bon Climat chose his Santa Barbara County Chardonnay and La Badge Au-dessus Pinot Noir to accompany a sampling of Mediterranean Hors D’oeuvres.  

I wore one of my favorite pink Eliza J dresses, a golden Natori cuff and Rachel Roy heels for the party.
