What does Houston’s Queen of Luxury do when she turns 50? She throws an over the top bash at River Oaks District celebrating with some of the world’s most luxurious brands, Dolce & Gabbana and Bentley Houston.

Donae Cangelosi Chramosta better known as The Vintage Contessa created an Italian themed party that started at the boutique for champagne cocktails and retail therapy, then carried over into the courtyard where the over 200 guest partied past midnight dancing inside Toulouse and enjoying festivities in the courtyard.

What made this party so special is that in lieu of birthday gifts, request for donations to Know Autism were accepted instead, raising over $20,000 for the organization.
