Name: Shana Ting Lipton
Spotted: Vine Street Lounge opening party
Style: This arts and style writer proves she knows her subjects with an outfit reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. Lipton stepped out in a Michelle Mason halter dress and a vintage, cruelty-free Astraka faux-fur coat; she carried an Elegance magazine-turned-clutch and on her hand, she wore a multi-beaded cocktail ring by Beverly Tang. With her hair pulled to one side, Lipton opted to wear just one Chanel earring.
Quote: "If I saw someone wearing the same ensemble as me, I would be pretty much be, well, horrified. 'Unique' and 'creative' are definitely the key words."
