On Saturday night, under the twinkle lights hung in my backyard, I glanced down the long farm table lined with rust-red flowers and took in the sight of 20 amazing, talented, inspiring women (and one guy, my stylist - hi Rob!) laughing and connecting with the person sitting next to them. I listened to the buzz of conversations. Some were nostalgic, childhood friends hugging and exchanging “it’s so good to see you!!”s before getting up to speed on one another’s new artistic projects. But most were looser ties, friends of friends chatting — over pasta alla norma and a Hugo spritz — about everything from the first date one went on the other night (promising!) to the coastal town the other is excited to visit this fall (Portland, Maine!) Those who started the night as strangers were fast friends by the time slices of pink-frosted cake and cannolis were passed around.
Our sweet little launch party was a dream come true for me. I love hosting dinner parties and entertaining (much more on that in coming newsletters), and this was the perfect excuse to get all my friends together on a beautiful summer night. And it represented exactly what Beau Society is: a place for chatting, sharing, laughing, and disconnecting from the constant noise of this crazy world. Now onto the party…
I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect dress for the occasion
- je t'aime Prada!
My backyard setup. I loved these sweet red chairs so much.
Some fun shots before guests arrive. Kat, my photographer, has captured some of my favorite life moments to date.
Arrivals! I love catching up with friends (I also love the back of this dress).
Telling Halle I’ve been listening to her song ‘Angel’ on repeat.
I’m always excited to hear what Yara’s up to.
My babies, Martini and Brando, joined the party.
We brought in a cute little
Beau Society photobooth…
…And I was obsessed, clearly.

Could not stop smiling.
Greer has been helping me plan this dinner for weeks. To see it all come together was so special.
Our whole crew.
I wish I remembered what I was talking about here. My hands are telling some kind of story!
Heard someone say dessert…
The way I gasped when I saw this cake.
Macarons. My favorite. An ode to one of my favorite cities that inspired the Beau Society aesthetic.
I painted these matchboxes! They’re a little chipped so don’t look too close 😅
Sugar rush incoming.
Our pile of custom BEAU sweatshirts. Everyone took one home - they’re huge and so comfy!
If you know me, you know I don’t drink caffeine…unless we’re talking late-night espresso martinis with my girlfriends.
