G&G Party Pics

The Lookout Opening Party

In celebration of The Lookout, a G&G-inspired home at McLemore Resort, designers, creatives, and friends of the magazine got a first-hand look at the property during a private cocktail hour at the home. Following the hors d’oeuvres and Penelope Bourbon cocktails, guests convened at Cloudland at McLemore for an intimate dinner.
