This November 2014 also featured Southbay Magazine’s release party celebrating the September/October 2014 Women’s Issue party at Shade Hotel. In the magazine, I was able to talk about my affiliation with Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, and was featured in the magazine as a top realtor in the South Bay. This month’s issue celebrates more wonderful people who make up the great place where we all call home.

At the October 1, 2014 party, guests enjoyed gourmet bites courtesy of Zinc Lounge, fine wines by ONEHOPE and the ‘Designer Sunset’ a signature cocktail in honor of our presenting sponsor, Nielsen Dye Design, a leading interior design firm located in Manhattan Beach. A special thanks to our friends at Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County, VOXDJs and Floret Cadet.
