WHO: Stacey Bendet, Bettina Anderson, Stacey Leuliette Coffin, Bella Rapp, Gracie Abercrombie, Monica Vaswani, Caitlin Saucier, Lauren Grushka, Founder of Hustle + Heart
WHAT: The festive Palm Beach celebration at the ALICE + OLIVIA Royal Poinciana store, hosted by Stacey Bendet and Bettina Anderson, brought together fashion, community, and purpose in support of the Good+ Foundation. In honor of ALICE + OLIVIA’s 16th annual Toy Drive, guests were invited to donate new toys for children ages infant to twelve, contributing to the organization’s mission to uplift families through essential support.
The boutique was transformed into a joyful holiday escape—infusing seasonal whimsy with signature ALICE + OLIVIA charm. Guests explored an elevated trunk show of custom charm jewelry from All Hustle and Heart and enjoyed a bespoke cocktail bar serving two exclusive holiday drinks: the Stacey Ginger Bell Margarita (Skinny) and Bettina’s Berry Merry Spritz. A playful sweets station offered toy-shaped cookies, creating a delightful nod to the evening’s purpose.
Hands-on, craft-driven activations encouraged guests to personalize their holiday gifting, with stations for custom stocking stuffers, comb engraving, claw clip customization, and one-of-a-kind dreidels and ornaments designed specially for the event. DJ Mandy curated a vibrant soundtrack that kept the atmosphere lively and celebratory throughout the night.
The evening beautifully honored the spirit of the season—community, generosity, and joyful style—while amplifying the Good+ Foundation’s impact for families in need. Guests were encouraged to continue donating toys in-store or through the ALICE + OLIVIA Amazon registry from December 4–24, receiving 15% off their purchase as a heartfelt thank-you for giving back.
