Cocktail Cool

This spring brought fashionable and philanthropic cocktail parties to town, beginning with the launch of the LHD collection at The Webster. Dozens of the city’s chicest showed up to toast the mega-boutique founder, Laure Heriard Dubreuil, and her debut line. ... The Hotel Icon was the scene of the Tiger Ball underwriters’ party, ahead of the Asia Society’s springtime gala. ... Young professional supporters of Houston Children’s Charity gathered at Rosemont, sipping cocktails and purchasing raffle tickets for items like Le Colonial and Stag Provisions gift cards. The evening’s till topped $11K. ... JDRF launched its series of informative happy hours, called Adulting with Type 1, at Lucille’s in the Museum District.
