And the Emmy Gifting-Suite Award goes to…. Doris Bergman’s 10th Annual Luxury Lounge and Party held on Thursday, September 19th at the Fig & Olive in celebration of the 71st Annual  Emmy® Awards.  Doris always throws the best events, and this year was no exception.  Over 100 Emmy winners, nominees, celebrities and VIP guests gathered for the exciting invitation-only event that was hosted by Buywine.com.

Lady A from title sponsor Buywine.com featured hope & grace wine

Buywine.com is an amazing website that anyone who enjoys wine should visit soon and often.  Their motto is “Quench Your Thirst for Knowledge” and the site provides all kinds of fascinating and useful information on wines, restaurants and travel destinations.  During the event, Buywine.com presented guests with divine samples from the hope & grace Wine Collection in Napa Valley. The winery focuses on limited production, single vineyard, 100% varietal Pinot Noirs, Cabernet Sauvignons, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay & Dry Riesling and has their tasting room in the charming town of Yountville, California.  The owner Charles has been making wine for 30 years and, along with his business partner Tiffani, selects the finest grapes, combined with premium French Oak barrels to craft balanced, elegant, cellar worthy wines. Their name, hope & grace, perfectly suits this wonderful winery.

Several other libations kept smiles on everyone’s faces at the event. Presenting sponsor Precious Vodka is a multi-award winning, distilled, triple charcoal filtered vodka, recognized as one of the best premium spirits in the world since 2011.  Produced by a distillery in Bulgaria, Precious Vodka has an exquisite taste and a uniquely exquisite diamond-shaped bottle with a beautiful gemstone in the cap.  Yours might be a sapphire, emerald, ruby, topaz, peridot or amber.  These distinctive bottles make Precious Vodka a marvelous gift that will be super appreciated by friends, family or associates.

The two signature flavors are Spa Girl Cocktails Spa Martini (cucumber) and Spa Girl Cocktails Pear Martini. Whether you’re hosting a party, sitting by a pool or just lounging at home, sipping with some friends, you’ll be a happy Spa Girl!

Ooh la la, it’s LuLaRoe!

LuLaRoe Clothing is a California-based, family owned business that brings together tens of thousands of Independent Fashion Retailers who seek the freedom of an entrepreneurial lifestyle through sales of comfortable, affordable and stylish clothing. The gracious ladies gifted guests with a variety of leggings, scarves and tops made from unique, limited-edition prints and patterns in diverse styles and sizes.

Actress Deidre Hall visits Diamond Veneer

Remember that old song – Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend? Well, soon you’ll be singing a new song: Diamond Veneer is a girl’s best friend!  This brand uses a revolutionary process of treating Cubic Zirconia with a veneer of Carbon Diamond particles, crystallizing around the entire stone, which results in a flawless “G” color on the diamond color scale.  Diamond Veneer is the bridge between CZ and real diamonds. This makes them terrific whether you simply can’t afford diamonds – or even if you can, but want to keep the real ones in the safe and wear these when you travel – when no one will know the difference.

Twisted Silver’s Debra Mitchell with Tristan Rogers and Eric Roberts

One of my absolute favorite jewelry designers is Debra Mitchell with her brand, Twisted Silver.  Her eco-friendly necklaces, bracelets and earrings use collected, salvaged and up-cycled earth base metals that make each piece an individual wearable work of art.

Actress Dee Wallace with My Saint My Hero

Another heavenly brand of jewelry is My Saint My Hero with their wearable blessings.   In conjunction with their new Kindness Campaign, they gifted delightful bracelets with the word “kind” in beaded Morse code.

Artisan jewelry by Cherise Noel is elegant and easy to put on

Cherise Noel presented her easy-on easy-off no-clasp tie-on necklaces with magnetic swap-able ends and matching earrings. The jewelry features pearls, birthstones, turquoise, and other lovely and colorful add-ons to go with all your different outfits.

Any man looking to look his best will surely check in with Art Lewin Bespoke. His custom- tailored bespoke suits and shirts are selected from over 4000 distinctive cloths, imported from the world’s finest mills in Italy, England, Scotland and France.

The Green Goddess Collective is a cannabis dispensary located in Venice, California. They gifted a variety of edibles, topicals, and prerolls to happy recipients.  I imagine many enjoyed them later when they went home and could relax by the light one of the lovely candles gifted at the event by Milena’s Boutique.
