2012 Golden Globes Celebrity Gift Lounge
VIE traveled to Los Angeles in January as an official sponsor of GBK’s exclusive 2012 Golden Globes Celebrity Gift Lounge, which was held on the rooftop of the beautiful L’Ermitage Beverly Hills in preparation for the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Handpicked luxury sponsors mixed and mingled with Hollywood’s finest—a who’s who of celebrities, publicists, agents, directors, and writers. The event’s picturesque setting was evocative of the glamour that Hollywood is known for. Our showcase featured complimentary copies of the Winter 2011 issue, “me + vie” T-shirts, an exclusive VIE athletic towel by BareSkin, and a showcase of VIE behind-the-scenes videos and commercials. We also presented actress Jennifer Love Hewitt with complimentary gift certificates for a stay at Alys Beach and personal care from The Aesthetic Clinique, both located on Scenic Highway 30-A.

Maison de VIE Grand Opening
On a balmy summer evening in June of 2013, Maison de VIE––VIE’s first show home––gave a nod to the decadent 1920s era and celebrated the home’s grand opening in style. The tone for the private, intimate gathering was set by a vintage Rolls-Royce gracefully parked out front, courtesy of John Finch, owner of Sunshine Shuttle and Limousine. Guests were encouraged to wear attire inspired by The Great Gatsby, and somehow the sweltering air seemed to lift and a sultry vibe descended as the allure of the decade took over. The Gatsby Summer Soiree elegantly showcased the home during an evening of revelry, with white flowers, crystal vases, champagne fountains, and delectable passed hors d’oeuvres—a perfect tribute to christen the home.

Christian Siriano Runway and Trunk Show
VIE presented a VIP runway show featuring New York–based designer Christian Siriano as part of South Walton Fashion Week 2016. The scene in sunny Alys Beach, Florida, was beautiful, and all the guests were dressed in their coastal best. From the tablescapes to the food and the breathtaking view of Caliza Pool, the atmosphere was just as magical as Siriano’s resort collection looks. Cheerful commotion followed as guests made their way toward an exclusive Christian Siriano trunk show held at Alys Shoppe, where a selection of his accessories and garments ranging in all sizes were available to purchase. Christian and his team were there to graciously meet guests and help with fittings.

The Get Down
VIE and the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County brought the heat to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, with a funkalicious dance party, The Get Down. The party officially kicked off South Walton Fashion Week on Wednesday, October 5, 2016. Not your ordinary party, the disco-themed soiree was inspired by the Netflix original series of the same name and the ideas of VIE’s CEO/editor-in-chief, Lisa Burwell. The very fashionable event featured many highlights, including Ophelia Swimwear models in roller skates, break dancing by Smoove Entertainment, music by DJ Rate, our signature VIEtini cocktails, and an appearance from artist and SWFW designer competition judge Ashley Longshore.

Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival
November 8–11, 2018, the Charleston Library Society (CLS) hosted a bevy of news writers, authors, playwrights, photographers, and other literary minds as part of its Second Annual Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival. The event was created as a partnership between the CLS and the Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, England, where one of the world’s best—if not the best—literature festivals has been held annually for twenty-nine years. VIE proudly sponsored the festival, hosting the Opening Night Gala event at the beautiful Charleston Library Society and a discussion with Tina Brown on her book The Vanity Fair Diaries, held at the historic Dock Street Theatre.

VIE Stories with Heart & Soul Tour – 30-A
As VIE embarked on the Stories with Heart & Soul Tour in 2017 (a national growth initiative in which we hosted meet-and-greets in five cities around the US and featured each in the magazine with extensive travel spotlight sections), our founder/editor-in-chief Lisa Burwell and team also decided it was only fitting to host a meet and greet in our backyard. In January 2018, we released our first Destination Travel Issue, and the spotlight shined on the Emerald Coast of Northwest Florida, showcasing the beautiful beaches from COLA 2 COLA® (Pensacola to Apalachicola), where VIE is headquartered and got its start as a regional magazine in 2008.

VIE Stories with Heart & Soul Tour – Dallas
As founder/editor-in-chief Lisa Burwell and the VIE team began the 2019 leg of the Stories with Heart & Soul Tour, Dallas was everything we hoped it would be and more!

What a great way to get to know people better and grow VIE’s footprint and distribution while on our national tour!
