A Gathered Event: Unlikely Heroes Justice Ball 2013

Last week I had the honor of attending the 2013 Justice Ball in support of ending child sex-slavery.  The event was beautiful and housed at the massive Boulevard 3 in Hollywood. The attendees, invited from all over LA, several local mega-churches and synagogues, were dressed elegantly. Although a formal event, many of the fashion savvy LA crowd took that to mean "dress to impress/cocktail attire". Knowing this ahead of time, I opted for a vintage semi-formal dress. Despite the minor faux-pas in formality, the cause of the night was profound and the fashion was lovely. A truly gathered event indeed. We spotted many of the top Fall trends with winter white, vintage film noir, lace, velvet, and black and white.  Check out some of our favorite looks of the night.

Just like the gathered women pictured above, we should always be doing more than having great fashion. We can profoundly impact the world with our style and influence beyond our closets.  If you'd like to further support them, consider a donation or spreading the word by liking their facebook. Here are more facts from Unlikely Heroes about child-sex slavery and how this non-profit helps young women in need.

A Gathered Event: Rosa Regale R&B Brunch

We are always scoping out the fashion savvy events and this week our Atlanta affiliate, Queen Aftan of I Am A Queen Royalty Productions, attended the very chic Rosa Regale R&B Brunch presented by Bravo TV's Chef Roble with the talented Estelle as a special Guest. Not only was the food phenomenal, the Rosa Regale sparking red was flowing and adding to the mood of mixing, mingling, and style. The ladies in attendance showed their sophisticated looks and the entire experience was indeed gathered. We loved the gift bags filled with valuable goodies like the lip gloss cell phone charm, light compact mirror, and a free download for Estelle's new single (jamming!). If you haven't tried Rosa Regale, definitely put it on your shopping list because it's love at first sip. Check out these fab ladies for some Monday Morning style inspiration!
