The Spare Room

The Spare Room has officially opened on the Mezzanine level of the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. This new, classy gaming parlor features two bowling lanes, custom board games, and specialty cocktails from a sophisticated menu. Once inside the double door entrance, guests will immediately notice the vintage bar to the right, accented with brass and leather, while the long main room is essentially divided in half, with booths and seating to one side, and the bowling lanes on the other. An eclectic mix of antiques brings a timeless elegance to the atmosphere with studded leather tops on tables, vintage steamer trunks, and sofas next to a low bookcase that runs the length of the lanes. Bowling is $100 an hour for up to six people, including $700 bespoke shoes made exclusively by LA-based Esquivel. Beyond bowling, guests are welcome to break out the other games, including artisan versions of backgammon, dominoes, and Connect Four, from behind a locked glass display case. The Spare Room also offers a photo booth, which is hidden behind the wall where the bowling shoes are stored. Have even more fun for $5 while posing for four photos with supplied props. What a night!

Eco Stiletto

Proving that you can be as gorgeous and stylish and hip and frugal as any other shopper on the planet, while still remaining conscious of your impact on the world, Eco Stiletto celebrated its second anniversary this week with a party in West Hollywood.

At the newly opened nursery/boutique, Rolling Greens, EcoStilleto featured a handful of earth-friendly companies and products for its 400 guests to enjoy. Vegan appetizers by chef Makini Howell of Seattle's famed Plum restaurants, who created a pop-up menu for the night at the WorldFare Bustaurant which pulled into the lot for the private soiree. Other activities offered were eco-makeovers by jane iredale cosmetics and eyebrow threading by Eco Brow, while guests received a goodie bag to collect green swag from Gypsy Tea, Water Pik, Green Works Natural Cleaning Products, Tom's of Maine and Nicobella Vegan Dark Chocolate Truffles.

The event also benefitted Dress for Success, the non-profit organization that provides interview suits, confidence boosts, and career development to low-income women in over 75 cities worldwide, with guests donating a work-ready purse to support their new Los Angeles headquarters.
