Their recent \u201cEnd of Summer Soiree\u201d was really spot-on. The atmosphere felt like exactly what it was billed to be. It was in the evening, at the rooftop lounge of the Sixty Hotel in Beverly Hills, (which is aptly named Above Sixty,) and all the activities were around the pool. I was in a little dress, but, for the first time all summer, I added a hoodie, (a fancy cream-colored lace one, of course,) which really signaled the end of summer to me. I knew by the end of the night that my attire for the next outdoor party will be pants and boots.<\/p>\n
My friend Alice and I mingled with one of the most eclectic group of Angelenos I\u2019ve seen in awhile. (They all had being hip in common, though.) I got to re-connect with several old pals, who are not as the usual Hollywood party, which made it even more special. Ali said the party was a \u201cgreat way to say good-bye to the summer!\u201d And we both loved the \u201creally cool and happening rooftop cabana setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we entered, the first thing we spied was a table full of fabulous jewelry. It was by Sterling Forever, and they were gifting everyone their choice of seven fun pieces including earrings, a \u201cvery chic\u201d bracelet made of leather braid and gold metal, and suede neck \u201cstrings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then we visited Sugarfina, who presented the most upscale candy bar I\u2019ve ever seen. It included four kinds of sweets I\u2019ve never even heard of before, plus tiny champagne gummies.<\/p>\n
All sugared-out, we settled into an alcove area for chair massages, courtesy of Soothe, a mobile massage company. D\u2019Lea worked-out my knotted back, while Alice said that Ashley \u201cgot all the right spots\u201d on her stressed-out shoulders.<\/p>\n

Then we were finally ready for some refreshments. They passed several appetizers, (which Alice called \u201ctotally summer fun food,\u201d) including cups of mac n cheese, skinny fries, and chicken skewers. But the piece de resistance was the full barbeque bar. It was done so smartly. They didn\u2019t break it out until later in the evening, (when the people who imbibers would need some food to soak up the alcohol,) and, rather than leaving the burgers and hot dogs out there, for the first few guests to grab-up, we each got to order the one we wanted, and receive it hot off the grill. It was the first hot dog I had eaten in a year(!) (because I\u2019m not supposed to eat red meat anymore,) and let me tell you\u2014it was absolutely heavenly!!! And that\u2019s not just because I haven\u2019t had one recently; it was an exceptionally delicious one on its own. They augmented those items with grilled corn on the cob and a perfect salad. It was the prefect meal at the right time.<\/p>\n
The DJ kept the happening vibe going all night with just the right beats. And at several points in the seating areas, we got to peruse their summer beauty boxes. They were really extra-beautiful this time. They looked to contain a bunch of what Alice called \u201cgreat summer fun items,\u201d including several beauty helpers, a yellow tote bag, (perfect for the beach,) and even a bright pink yoga towel! I can\u2019t wait to see what the upcoming Fall ones will feature.<\/p>\n
