Bloggers, designers, foodies, TV hosts and twins all turned up for Beckley's spring style soirée last week. Hosted by the charming LA label's founder, Melissa Akkaway, and City of Style author Melissa Magsaysay, Beckley's spacious store on West 3rd was transformed into an outdoor picnic, complete with hors d'oeuvres-filled baskets and an AstroTurfed floor.

Well-dressed guests like E! Fashion Police host George Kotsiopoulos sipped on drinks in mason jars while perusing Beckley by Melissa's It girl-ready, pattern-happy looks for spring. After admiring Mr. K's accessories game (we're looking at you, Etro scarf and Bottega Veneta belt), we stopped in our tracks for a few more sharp trimmings, including statement bags, hot caps and bow-ties.
