Last night we attended a  gorgeous event held on a gorgeous summer evening. The Venice Beach venue of Floral Art was the scene for hosts, Barclay Butera, Joe Nye and proprietress Jennifer McGarigle to welcome author Susanna Salk and her newest book, "Weekend Retreats". A must have book filled with a collection of beautiful photography transporting you in a single sitting.

Chilled cylindrical glasses of Champagne and Sparkling Rose´were passed, along with  bite sized tuna tartar morsels while the party goers listened to sounds being deftly spun by dj, Jeremy Sole of Afro Funke´. Also featured in McGarigle's stunning space was her new line of plexiglass, floral themed furniture, 'Floret'. Among our favorites was the peony chair.    *photographs by Megan Arquette
