t was the “Best Day Ever” Nov. 9 for Wine, Women & Shoes. Ladies and gentlemen put on their best pair of heels, boots or sneakers for the annual Forty Carrots Family Center’s Signature Luncheon, which attracts people from not only Sarasota, but as far as Canada and overseas. The luncheon began with a step-and-repeat shoe judging, pop-up shops, a Hello Gorgeous photo booth, silent auction bidding and, of course, an ever-flowing supply of wine. Honorary Co-Chairwoman and famous supermodel Christie Brinkley made an appearance on stage at the beginning of the program. She was followed by the actionpacked fashion show put on by the The Met Fashion House. Inna Synder was awarded the best shoe with her glittery stiletto, and the Solemen ended the day with their best dance moves.
