"Spread across four round tables populated with beetroot tarts, watermelon poke, and truffle cheese balls, three dozen or so participants received a swag bag containing on-the-go mouthwash, a hairbrush, a mini lint roller, and a $100 gift card for clothes shopping at Wilkes Bashford. The event was divided into three sections: styling tips for work outfits, a panel on how to engage in good conversation, and - last but not least - a caviar tasting session."
