Santa Barbara International Film Festival


the last week in January typically creates a BUZZ in this small California town with the SBIFF. Last night was no exception.  I had the opportunity to attend Penelope Cruz's Tribute.


We were guests of a pre-party sponsored by Chopin Vodka.  We were guests of a pre-party sponsored by Chopin Vodka.
The venue (the courtyard alongside the Arlington Theatre) mimicked the classic black and white bottle with contemporary decor wisely dispersed around the lounge. Black and white horizontal thick stripes dressed the walls of the tented courtyard. Chic white couches, ottoman and lamps were strategically placed in the lounge, with touches of black accents, mirrors, plates, etc.

The after party took place in Summerland at a business located on Ortega Hill overlooking the Santa Barbara lights and Pacific Ocean.  Bella Vista Designs presence with uplighting the foliage, draping a dance room, the light up bar were once again well placed in the space - just like his work at the Arlington for the pre-party enhanced the venue and space.  Classic Party Rental's ottomans and brightly colored linens were spread throughout the lawn covered with sufficient heaters in order to keep us warm with the cool beach breeze.

Overall the night was a lot of fun, and a huge success.  My favourite part, the Jaqua Girls' gift bag that contained this lipgloss ring.  
Pink Buttercream Frosting Lip Gloss Ring
Jaqua has great products for bridesmaids, giftbags, flower girls, family and favors.  The best part - They are local!

What a great night!
