Earlier this week we stopped by Cat Footwear’s unique pop-up location (more on that later) in midtown where the iconic footwear brand celebrated their Autumn/Winter 2014 collection, the party also served as a celebratory event for 5 New York City-based artists. Cat Footwear hand selected these talented young men and woman and challenged them with using the Colorado boot as their blank canvas. The Colorado boot is making its triumphant return from 1990 and what better way to celebrate than with a artistic challenge?! The Colorado boot will be in available this fall.

Last week we caught up with our dear friends from Cloudy Bay for the official unveiling of their 2014 Vintage Sauvignon Blanc. The party was held on a trendy rooftop overlooking NYC. The spectacular view and lush surroundings made the perfect escape to enjoy Cloudy Bay’s exquisite white wine. A DJ provided a smooth mix for the soundtrack as quests sipped the imported beverage. Thanks in part to a great harvest season the wine is a shining testament to Cloudy Bay’s commitment to quality and taste.

Last night Infiniti of Beverly Hills which “is the premier automobile dealership of Beverly Hills and the surrounding area…that prides itself on delivering the highest level of customer service before, during, and after a purchase” hosted a launch party that acted as the grand opening for its new dealership.

As I arrived I noticed there was a spin on what we all know as the traditional red carpet experience. Infiniti switched it up and went with a purple carpet. It was a great choice on their part; it was both hip and chic. Katherine McPhee of Scorpion, Dylan McDermott of Stalker, and Michelle Monaghan of True Detective were among those to walk the purple carpet. Julian Gold, the Vice Mayor of Beverly Hills, Michael Bartsch, the Vice President of Infiniti USA, and Seth Waskow, the General Manager of Infiniti of Beverly Hills were also on hand.
