Our favorite picture from the Redeem 5 year anniversary party: Aureta Thomollari (Ralph Lauren blouse, Charlotte Olympia Ostrich Velvet Wedge Pump, Mona Assemi bracelets, Alexander McQueen skull clutch).
Which one to choose? The Charlotte Olympia Ostrich Velvet Wedge Pump, worn by Aureta Thomollari, or the Christian Louboutin Hyper Prive pump, worn by Carla of TPWP. Both!

Redeem’s 5 year Anniversary Party featuring A New Cross
When we first talked to Redeem owner Lori Parkerson about the possibilities of her 5 year anniversary party, we imagined bringing many disperate elements of fashionable Washington DC together. This event exceeded our expectations. Our eyes delighted in the individuality and creativity of the party’s attendees. Our minds were stimulated by many conversations of substance and not just style (our favorite was discussing Ukrainian history and French literature with Katya and Cameron). This event was the perfect storm of the right people, the right place and the right time. The icing on the cake was the presentation by A New Cross, which you can view HERE.
Thank you to all our friends, bloggers, and readers who came to celebrate Redeem’s Anniversary with us, to the sponsors Duvel and Honest Tea, and to brothers John and Paul of U.S. Royalty for providing the perfect soundtrack.
Congratulations Lori and Redeem! Cheers to many more successful years!

The majestic and mysterious Aureta Thomollari of internet fame at Submerge DC last weekend. A founder of the luxury consulting firm DNA Luxury and one of the most fashionable and original women in Washington (and the world). Her awesome Alpaca sweater is from Isabel Marant (sold at Hu’s Wear), her shoes are the Martha wedges from Charlotte Olympia.
A closeup of Aureta’s Ralph Lauren Ricky bag, a gift from Ralph Lauren. Note how the paint splattered floor beautifully complements her gold wedge heels (Martha by Charlotte Olympia) and metal bracelets (Mona Assemi).
A detail shot of Aureta’s outfit and accessories. We like everything we see here: The Isabel Marant Alpaca sweater, the splatter oxidized metal bracelets by Mona Assemi, and of course her Ralph Lauren Ricky bag.
