Wanderlust in the City | October Ball
"October Ball is one of those parties that’s so stunning it shocks even the most jaded New Yorkers out of their trance. It is absolutely incredible, and one of the most magical nights I’ve had in NYC. I certainly plan on going back next year (and the year after… and the year after that…)."

The Modern Jetsetter | A Night at the Library with CBSBB
"It was a night of dazzling dresses, live jazz music (which Frank Sinatra would definitely approve of) and mingling with New Yorkers in true Manhattan flair. What made the night sweetest was the fact that it was all for a wonderful cause; I’m already looking into the possibility of volunteering as a CBSBB mentor next year."
