AN ALL-STAR crowd hit Tanglewood’s Shaftel Diamonds for a luxe launch party toasting Reagan Bregman’s new jewelry line, With Love.

Nearly 100 fashionistas, beauty queens and ballplayers joined the Astros wife in celebration. Guests were welcomed withspicy “Reaggie Ritas,” served on the rocks by El Tiempo Cantina, which they sipped to the soundtrack of DJ Nicholas Yapp. Meanwhile, Chef Rey served up grilled shrimp and white chocolate covered strawberries.

With Love features elevated everyday pieces designed to last, all inspired by Reagan’s own on-the-go lifestyle, which calls for versatile and high quality yet affordable pieces that anyone could wear with ease.

Spotted in the crowd were Alex Bregman, Jeremy Peña, Kara McCullers, Daniella Correa, Taylor Kessler, Phyllis Mandola, Elizabeth Landry and Jasmine Nguyen.

IN THE SUMMER of 1865, less than two months after the end of the Civil War, thousands of former slaves, or “freedpeople,” from the Texas countryside and every state in the former Confederacy made the pilgrimage via the San Felipe Trail to Houston’s Fourth Ward and established Freedman’s Town — a neighborhood for families determined to build and establish a thriving community as the country entered the Reconstruction era. Nearby cypress trees provided wood to construct family homes and handcrafted bricks were used to create the neighborhood’s streets. In June 2021, the Houston City Council voted to make Freedmen’s Town the city’s first official Heritage District, which allows nonprofits to help fund the restoration and care of the community’s historic structures, including those brick streets.
