There wasn’t a seat to spare Saturday at the sold-out Sparkle event at the Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro. A benefit for Rosie's Place and billed as an afternoon of fashion, food, and fun, partygoers nibbled dainty hors d’oeuvres and sipped sparkling wine. Next up was the fashion show, featuring shoes and bags by Moxie, clothing from Wish, jewelry by Ruby Door, and make-up from Beauty Mark -- all Beacon Hill style staples. Local media and fashion insiders modeled summer looks and appeared to be having as much fun as the well-dressed crowd.
