Since our house was in tip top shape, we figured what better time that to make a toast to all the great friends we've made in LA and have a little Bon Voyage get-together. I know I posted a preview on Monday's Instagram, but here is a more comprehensive view of the travel themed affair (no Adam, those suitcases were not there just because I'm "artsy"...).Party theme and creation by Jessica...
