Friends, colleagues and fans alike came out to support Melissa Walker's new book Violet on the Runway on September 24th. A groovy time was had by all, as elegant specialty drinks were prepared and shared. Lolita's irresistibly stylish interiors set the tone for a cool evening, full of compelling encounters and conversation.
Thanks to our sassy hosts Jessica Seigel and Patrick Taliaferro for working as the social butterflies for the night!
