On Thursday, December 3, 2015, Westfield Garden State Plaza held Cocktails & Couture, to celebrate their newest luxury realtors and to bring awareness to FARE (Food Allergy Research & Awareness).  The event was hosted by creator of Skinnygirl Cocktails and five-time best-selling author, Bethenny Frankel.

Located in front of Neiman Marcus, Cocktails & Couture offered guests a one-of-a-kind experience including gourmet food samplings & Skinnygirl cocktails while the New Jersey Ballet entertained guests with performances throughout the afternoon.

Guests were able to experience one-of-a-kind activations in the new luxe shops such as expert styling at Burberry’s Scarf Bar, the debut of the Fiamma handbag in black mink and crocodile at Salvatore Ferragamo, as well as unique experiences such as Microsoft Fashion Sketching, a lipstick bar by NARS, and a styling presentation of fur and evening wear by Neiman Marcus.

The silent auction offered an array of luxurious items from Tiffanies, Neiman Marcus, Burberry, Versace and many others with proceeds benefiting FARE.
