Cheers! is an attitude.

We love 11/11, the day of new beginnings and optimism. This year we used Monday night (yes, a Monday!) 11/11 to kickoff what we all hope is a new chapter.

First and foremost, it benefitted The Hope Party, raising funds for the very-deserving Grant Halliburton Foundation, strengthening the mental health network for children, adolescents and teens. Cheers to that!

And what brings the cheer? Pizza from Pizzana, Frozen Cosmopolitans (excuse me, “Kastra-Politans” made with our favorite Kastra Elion vodka), Casa Dragones Ranch Waters, The Macklowe Manhattans, and an appearance from our favorite Project Runway star, Christian Siriano, signing his gorgeously inclusive new book, The New Red Carpet.

In the house was our favorite good witch, the mystical Corbin Chamberlin with a ton (literally) of his gorgeous curated crystals. The colorful Emily P. Wheeler with a candy store of gems. And Brianna Lipovsky of Maison D’Etto (finally) introducing her new scent, Verdades. And let’s not forget the ultimate fashionista, Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Bronwyn Newport (IMO the only one with true fashion cred, and a fabulous personality to boot). There is no party without CHEERFUL tunes from our resident fabulous DJ RomiQ.

All of our favorite friends came out and stayed (and stayed), and made joy a “thing”. Let’s keep that going.

Cheers to friends, fashion…and pizza!
