Valentine’s Day is another opportunity to shower your loved ones with gifts, and this is the third year that Doris Bergman and Kathy Duliakas have used to occasion to showcase some of the best romantic gifts out there to celebs and trendsetters.
The venue for their event, officially called ‘Valentine Romance/Sneak Peek Oscar Suite’ was WeHo’s acclaimed Café La Boheme restaurant, romantic in and of itself with its Tuscan country villa-inspired décor and stunning chandeliers.
More than 100 guests turned out, including Vivica A. Fox, Billy Zane, Mischa Barton and Fairuza Balk.
Co-hosted by the skincare company Jurlique, they were treated to an array of goodies, starting with couture gowns, bespoke tuxedoes and suits, sparkling jewelry and fabulous footwear, not to mention luggage to carry it all in. And of course, chocolate, because no V-Day would be complete without a taste of creations from the cacao bean.
“I’m having a wonderful time – the patio dining, the buffet lunch, the tray-passed appetizers, the quality of the vendors – this is really a special treat,” said Mischa Barton of the daytime event.
On display were everything you might need for a big night, a weekend away or a romantic day: Menbur evening bags, Art Lewin & Co. Custom Clothiers men’s suits and ties, couture gowns by Ali Rahimi for Mon Atelier, The CardiWrap by Kymaro, athletic shoes by chung shi, fashionable waterproof totes by Emilie Sloan, Stemulation skin care, Kama Sutra romance kits with essential oils, Gold Canyon candles, Caribbean Joe and Coleman Luggage, Milani Clip-In Hair Extensions, and Model in a Bottle makeup setter.
Executive chef Christine Banta provided the cuisine, while thirsts were quenched by Waialua Soda Works, AQUAMANTRA Premium Natural Spring Water, Blue Angel Ultra Premium Vodka and in keeping with the sweet spirit of everything, Vermeer Dutch Chocolate Cream Liqueurs.
