As we know you’re as much a fan of Daily Candy as we are, you’ve probably already seen this, but just in case you missed it — you should go to the site right now and vote for SFLuxe fashion favorite, Keylee Sanders, in the Daily Candy competition for your favorite “style maven” in 2008!

We are delighted to extend an invitation to SFLuxe readers for “The Epi Party” at Epi Center MedSpa in San Francisco, January 16, 2009.

This elegant cocktail party is being held to raise awareness of the Bay Area Allergy Advisory Board (BAAAB) and its goals, prior to its upcoming launch.

You will get to meet “Bravo Top Chef New York” contestant and Absinthe Brasserie executive chef, Jamie Lauren, at the event. She has been a strong advocate of allergen-safe cooking in her work.

Bita Daryabari, former wife of billionaire Omid Kordestani, married Dr. Reza Malek in a multi-million dollar ceremony at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

At a recent luncheon to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of this website, jewelry designer Amber Marie Bently surprised SFLuxe’s Damion Matthews with a beautiful pendant she created herself.

The pendant reads “Live, Love, Luxe” — three words which we’ve taken as the new tagline for the site.

Those three words are a summary of what we strive for, but also our wish for you in the exciting year ahead.

Exclusively to visitors of SFLuxe.com, we present this clip of Elisabeth Laurence of “Lives of Style,” as she interviews Willie Brown at a private cocktail party at Cartier in San Francisco.

We recently had the pleasure of watching a preview of the documentary that Jennifer Siebel Newsom is producing and co-directing, entitled “Women and Power.”

Because Cartier has a rich history in supporting the film arts, they decided to help support the project by hosting a private cocktail party (with co-hosts Gavin Newsom, Regina Kulik Scully & Kimberlee Acquaro) at their beautiful Post Street store in San Francisco, where the preview was shown.

The Honourable Julian Evans, Consul General of the United Kingdom, and Mrs. Gayle Evans, recently opened their home in San Francisco to honor the Red Cross, in anticipation of the 2009 Paint the Town Red gala.
