Our anniversary season is always special to us - and this year, we wanted to express our gratitude to everyone who has shown us love for the past 6 years. 

We spent August 21 with a few friends and clients at an intimate gathering down south to celebrate our 6th anniversary - a milestone that we wouldn't have been able to achieve without loyal Heyjow supporters. 

Nikki Garcia was kind enough to host our thanksgiving party and her beautiful home full of heirloom pieces became the perfect backdrop for our vintage-inspired pieces from the Ode to Six collection. 

Our host Nikki Garcia welcomed us into her eclectic home

Feliz Dish and Details took care of the tablescapes and food for the afternoon, which included delicious quiche and pasta dishes. 

For dessert, we had Sabrina Go's yummy manchego cheesecake and almost-too-pretty-too-eat agate cookies by The Little Whisk. 

Community Co. gave us our dose of caffeine while Hendrick's Gin served refreshing cocktails.

Our guests had the chance to try our pieces on and have their photos taken by Sheila Catilo, our Chief Visual Brand Storyteller, who made a studio set-up in one corner of Nikki's home.

We wanted our guests to feel just how much we appreciate them so we arranged surprise gifts from our sponsors and collaborators, which definitely made the afternoon more exciting! 

Some very lucky ladies won these sought-after Aranaz bags
