And the menu for this enchanting dinner you're hosting with Shopbop? LS: I worked closely with Cassandra Moses from Art 2 Catering. First course: Salad with house-made ranch dressing. Second course: Loup de mer, baby zucchini, carrot mustard purée, fennel sauce, zucchini blossoms. Third course: Praline chocolate montée crunchy milk- chocolate glacé. And, of course, what cocktails set the mood to shop and start that conga line? LS: Cocktails were provided by Saint James Tea, and we had theme drinks: Lemon Tea- ni with lemon iced tea, Grey Goose vodka, lemon juice, and a lemon slice; Berry Sweet Tea with raspberry iced tea, Grey Goose vodka, ginger ale, lime juice, and fresh raspberries; and the Spill the Tea-quila with lemon iced tea, blanco tequila, triple sec, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and a lemon slice. Sadoughi also enlisted darling Missy Peck from MissyRSVP for help with the food and decor. Peck arranged for Bryan Long from Grey Gardens to create the riot of flowers for the long dining table. She also worked with Sadoughi on selecting the gorgeous La DoubleJ china and employed Sadoughi's velvet bows as napkin rings (a wink to the hostess' accessories empire). Feel free to appropriate these tips for your own swellegant suppers. I know I will, as might other guests I air-kissed throughout the night, including Kasey Lemkin, JoJo Fleiss, Sharon Lee Clark, Kameron Westcott, Caitlin Wilson, Jamie O'Banion, Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, Amy Havins, LeLe Keller, Brighton Butler, and Kira Nasrat.
