The recipe for a perfect party includes great decor, delicious food, impecccable fashion, and of course, excellent company. Reese followed that formula to a “T” when she hosted a classic Southern luncheon that was featured in the latest issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. See the story here; find some behind-the-scenes photos here; and read on to meet the guests, a group of Reese’s friends and supporters of the brand. We call them our Draper James Los Angeles Ambassadors.

Cheers! What better way to toast than with treats from Sprinkles Cupcakes, the bakery founded by DJ Ambassador and party guest Candace Nelson?

Draper James Director of Design Development Heather Rosenfield, who is also one of Reese’s closest friends, may be a California girl, but she certainly embraces the Southern vibe. Wearing our Belmont Stripe Collection Romper, here she is picking out a party favor: an Orange Blossom Special candle. (It’s named for the song famously covered by Johnny Cash.)

O editor at large Gayle King (who attended the lunch on behalf of the magazine) and actress, model, and humanitarian Molly Sims have at least two things in common: Both are Kentucky natives and both had the “blues” at our party. Gayle is pictured wearing our Ottoman Stripe Knit Shift Dress, while Molly has on our Oak Hill Vine Love Circle Dress.
