The wonderful Bloomingdale’s store in Santa Monica donated 10% of all tracked sales on August 11th, as we celebrated the launch party of CLF supporter’s Autumn Chiklis new novel, SMOTHERED, in stores now! The Q&A with Autumn and her fab mother, Michelle, was curated by the hilarious Lisa Ann Walter. The event’s proceeds will benefit the CLF’s programs helping at-risk and homeless youth and families in LA. Bloomingdale’s sponsored the great treats and snacks from local Thyme Cafe, Dear Rose donated beautiful wine, and By Terry cosmetics and Keihl’s skincare both had great beauty stations for the guests. Books were sold by our great friends at DIESEL Bookstore. DJs and dancing and much shopping was experienced, and a great time was had by all! Thanks SO much, Bloomingdale’s, and to Autumn and her wonderful family! CONGRATS on your awesome new novel!
