On Thursday, September, 15, 2017, West Hollywood hotspot Fig and Olive was buzzing with excitement as Doris Bergman hosted her 8th Annual Emmy Style Lounge & Party. This was my first time to have the honor to attend and I must say, there is a magical quality to event production and Doris Bergman definitely has the touch. This exclusive, invitation soiree, was hosted by Buywine.com and presented by Skinside US Drinkable Collagen (skinside.com) The restaurant was packed but I had the pleasure of working my way around the vendor tables and booths. There was a great energy within the room and I genuinely loved the concept of guests mingling with brands within the intimate setting of a restaurant courtyard. It created a lovely sense of personal connection while obtaining insider information. The Style Lounge presented great brands, elegant gifts for VIP guests, delicious food and stylish beverages.
Emmy Nominated Actors, former Emmy winners, presenters, stylists and industry VIP’s mingled in the lovely courtyard that featured couture gowns by Sue Wong (www.suewong.com), Bespoke Tuxedos and Suits (www.artlewinbespoke.com), luxurious beauty, skin and haircare products (www.thedrybar.com), gorgeous jewelry collections, lovely accessories, fashion (Single Dress was back gifting the latest styles in dresses) (www.singledress.com), decadent bourbon Bundt velvet cakes (chefelliot.com), gourmet and wholesome dog treats, pet staycation kits (www.cjspetstaycation.com), and much more! I enjoyed all the brands that were featured and felt they all complemented each other quite perfectly.

In the spirit of giving back, guests & sponsors donated unwrapped gifts for young adults (ages 13-18) for a Pre-Holiday Gift Drive benefitting ‘Wednesday’s Child’ — a weekly segment airing on KTTV FOX 11 News, Los Angeles, with Anchor Christine Devine. ‘Wednesday’s Child’ highlights ‘harder to place’ children in the LA County foster care system who are in need of adoptive families. “In Los Angeles County, alone, there are over 35,000 children receiving child welfare services,” says social worker, Dr. William Wong. Bergman always invites 2 foster children to join in on the festivities and experience what it feels like to be treated as a VIP. http://www.foxla.com/wednesdays-child.

By 3, it was time to return to reality. However, it was a beautiful afternoon (true Hollywood style) and I could not wait to get home to research the brands further. It was a star-studded event and I’m thrilled to have been a part of it. A heartfelt thank you to Doris Bergman (of Bergman PR), all the incredible sponsors and vendors, and the wonderful celebrities that came out to support.
