jefferson + lake Jewelry Network-o-Rama Event

Last night I did a network event with for my jewelry line, jefferson + lake, with my partner Chrissy at the Victor Hotel. It was an event put on for woman to network and shop at the same time and we were one of several vendors there. Lets just say pulling up to the Victor Hotel was interesting...as it looked like a haunted, run down club. Well, it was in fact a club not a hotel but it was really cool inside with large hanging disco balls.

 Our setup!

 Thankfully we were set up right next to the food!

One her pieces is this peplum top from her Holiday Collection, which I had to order for myself.
