The Winter Park Fashion Week is almost upon us and to get things rolling SEE Eyewear, Gigi’s Cupcakes and Emily Ellen along with delicious cocktails made by Michael Joshua Ring, Master of Whiskey and Brand Champion for the Brown-Forman family of fine whiskies got the party started.
Cole’s Classic Cars For Hire brought this fully restored beauty, perfect photo op with the historic Colony sign as a backdrop!
This fully restored beauty was courtesy of Cole’s Classic Cars For Hire and is popular at custom car shows. The vivid turquoise classic was certainly popular with the ladies! Cole’s will deliver the rented car of your choosing to your own private event and created a memorable photo opportunity. Jim Hobart of Macbeth Photography coaxed and captured the inner retro pinup of the gals who attended.
Retro hats and fascinators from The Rad Hattress Shoppe by Tiffany Namey
Sweet and sassy handmade retro hats and fascinators from The Rad Hattress Shoppe by Tiffany Namey were modeled in several photos and worn by Emily Ellyn at the event.
Emily posed for lots of pictures, autographed items and helped the gals create their own Retro Rad look with the chic frames available at SEE Eyewear.
Food Network star Emily Ellyn was back sporting her Retro-Rad SEE Eyewear Cateyes and helped attendees find their modern and retro Cateye favorites from the extensive SEE frame collection.
SEE has so many ways to wear a cute Cateye!
The fabulous Cateyes were everywhere, from the eyeglass frames guests tried on, to to the Cateye cupcakes from Gigi’s Cupcakes of Orlando, Florida.

The delicious mini cupcakes were Chocolate, Vanilla and a seasonally available Pumpkin with a tasty cream cheese frosting. Mini’s are available at Gigi’s daily in select rotating grab and go flavors, or can be ordered in advance in your favorite flavors. I’d recommend the pumpkin, any day.
Michael Joshua Ring, Master of Whiskey, shook up a delicious Cateye Cocktail featuring Old Forrester Whiskey lemonade, honey simple syrup, and fresh basil.
And rounding out the fun event was the Cateye Cocktail. The refreshing drink was somewhat dangerous, as the well-balanced cocktail was very smooth and went down easy. Very easy! Michael also whipped up the quintessential Old-Fashioned- also delicious.
