One night, while out for a friend&#8217;s birthday, a local jeweler friend and I started chatting about how we wanted this holiday to be a celebration. How we were both planning collections that we were so proud of, and how we wanted to plan an event to share them with our friends and family. You guys may know this jeweler, Nicole of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nikdreamer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NikDreamer<\/a>.\u00a0 This chit chat over a glass of wine stuck with us both, and a month later we had planned our launch party. Immediately, we knew the location we wanted to host it at. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/retailtherapylv.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retail Therapy\u00a0<\/a>is a cute local boutique that has a wonderful side room (available to rent for meetings, events, even dance classes).

We had twinkle lights and crystals, yummy sweets and sips and it was a party. A magician even stopped by to spontaneously entertain us with his tricks.

She did a great job capturing the vibe of the place as you can see here.
