Start a Riot with the Founders of Riot Social Club

The Riot Social Club Founders

Erica of EP Designhouse & Christa of Salvaged Soul

Erica and Christa started a RIOT or maybe a revolution with their moto “Don’t Hate Collaborate”. OC STYLE REPORT is excited to introduce the amazing woman behind Southern California’s hottest and fastest growing female entrepreneur network, the RIOT SOCIAL CLUB.

Over the summer I had and opportunity to collaborate on a photo shoot with Christa of Salvaged Soul and one of our favorite boutiques Stitch and Feather. From there Christa invited me to be and “IT” girl on her and her partner, Erica of EP Design House, new project the Riot Social Club. After hanging with very talented and infectious Christa I said, “Of Course!” And that was it I was one of four “IT” girls for the maiden voyage of the Riot Social Club.

ABOUT RIOT SOCIAL CLUB

Founded by Christa Paarni (owner of Salvaged Soul) and Erica Perebijnos (owner of EP_Designhouse), RIOT Social Club is the newest and most effective form of reaching the masses. They call it Collaborative PR, and the idea is to connect “badass boss babes” with influential women via networking events.

Anyone can make a connection and collaborate with another company on a project, but RIOT SOCIAL CLUB takes it a step further in order to give their members an extra boost. RIOT gives their attendees the opportunity to put their products in front of the most influential and inspiring women in business, social media, and pop-culture (known as the RIOTGIRLS) in order to create endless opportunities to connect, create, collaborate…and reach the masses. Not only do the attendee boss-babes get their products in front of RIOT GIRLS, RIOT offers the opportunity for all attendees to get one-on-one face time with these influential women in order to gain valuable business insight, advice, and collaboration opportunities.

Riot “IT” Girls have included;

  • Meghan King Edmonds, Real Housewives of Orange County
  • Bizzie Gold, Founder of Buti Yoga and The Modern Good
  • Kailynn Bowling, Founder of ChicBuds and ChicExecs
  • Rachael Dickens, Co-Founder of OC Style Report 
  • Lizzie Rovsek, Real Housewives of Orange County
  • Alicia Whitney, Restaurateur and Founder of SeaLegs Wine Bar
  • Lindsay Dickhout, Founder of Million Dollar Tan
  • Kail Lowry, Teen Mom 2 & New York Times Bestselling Author

I love these ladies and what they are doing to encourage woman to work together. I took the spirit of RIOT and created a super collaboration with not only the RIOT Co-Founders but 5 OC based designers including; Cleobella, East N West Label, Stevie Sister, 16th Colony and La Weez Jewelry, plus the owner of for the Love of Hair Studio and Stylist Rebecca Araoz of Tailored Tantrums. Each one of these designers and business owners were so excited to be part of this collaboration which is at the very essences of what RIOT is all about.

From Erica & Christa…..

DON’T HATE, COLLABORATE.

Not only do we want our RIOT GIRLS to connect with our attendees, we also want our attendees to connect with each other. At each event, there is a room full of powerful women who own some of the most amazing companies in the nation. Photographers, boutique owners, attorneys, celebrities, interior designers, clothing designers, makeup artists…to name a few. These are all women who want to collaborate with each other on various projects and then spread the word on their own individual channels for maximum reach.

RIOT Social Club events occur frequently, and are only available to our pre-qualified members. Click here to apply for membership.
