I had the pleasure of attending a trunk show with my friend the talented Chris Roughan of Roughan Interiors at the gorgeous Charlotte Barnes showroom in Greenwich CT to celebrate the new Ali MacGraw fashion collection called ali4ibu.

Upon entering, Charlotte Barnes warmly greeted us along with Susan Hull Walker and Ali MacGraw, all of whom could not have been more gracious, warm, kind and fun to be with.
