A Ronson Reunion

A Ronson Reunion: "

While other designers may vie for a Los Angeles—and celebrity—following, Charlotte Ronson seems a natural on the scene, mixing business and pleasure with enviable ease. In town to celebrate the holiday season at the newly opened hot spot Everleigh with supper and cocktails, Ronson delighted in the left coast aesthetic. “So many of my best friends are out here, including my sister, and I love being able to have sleepovers with her,” the designer said of her twin, Samantha, who came to show her familial support. (The two, left, are both in Charlotte Ronson.) “Plus, since I just got my [driver’s] license a few years ago, I finally get to really practice out here.”

Over a casual family-style spread, Ronson went through her Spring ‘11 lookbook with Ashlee Simpson (who attended with husband Pete Wentz), while Nicky Hilton and China Chow caught up with friends at the other end of the table. The Office’s Mindy Kaling mingled with the sisters Ronson, Shiri Appleby, and Ione Skye. It was a nice break for Ronson, who’s been on the move lately: opening two stores in Shanghai, continuing her partnership with JCPenney on the I Heart Ronson line, and working on her Fall collection, all of which has left her ready for a reprieve. “I feel like the holidays just caught up with me this year,” she said. “I definitely want to go to a beach somewhere, but I’ve just been so busy that I haven’t even had time to plan it yet.”
