Fashion Night Out!

On Saturday I had the privilege of getting to see how the "other side" lives. I had the honor of hosting a party for my dear friends, Wendy and Keith at the St. Regis Atlanta. If you have never had the pleasure of stepping foot into this hotel, let me tell you from first hand experience how wonderful it is! From the moment you walk in, you are overwhelmed by the architecture and beauty and everything is so exquisite that I was almost afraid to touch anything for fear it might break. LOL! I immediately had to scope out the two things...

One I was looking for celebrities and you will never guess who I saw. COLIN FREAKING FARRELL!! Yes this guy right here. I wanted to scream and run over to him immediately but instead I silently freaked out and texted everyone I knew.

So, once I got over my initial shock of actually seeing someone famous I settled in to what I was really dying to know, what is everyone wearing? And to tell you the truth I was kind of surprised with what I noticed...for the most part everyone was wearing things already found in most women's closet. Sure, the maxi dress was DVF and the shoes were Jimmy Choo but if you looked past that I realized with the right outfit you can fit in anywhere. Here were a few of my favorite looks from Saturday.

The Black Maxi Dress

I can't tell you how many people I saw wearing the black maxi dress. I know I have touched on this before but I am not kidding, if you don't have one of these in your wardrobe, BUY ONE NOW! You will wear it everywhere from Catch Air with the kids, to church, to an event at the St. Regis. I have this one and i can't tell you how much I wear it. I actually am about to have to buy another one soon because the color is changing I wear it so much! The versatility of the black maxi is second to none. Wear it with a jean jacket and flip flops in the day or dress it up at night with statement jewelry (check out my SD site for amazing jewelry. HINT HINT.) and some wedges.

The Floral Mini Dress

The floral mini dress is another staple in my wardrobe. As you can probably tell I am all about versatility. I won't buy an item of clothing without knowing I will wear it multiple times and in multiple ways. This dress from Tinley Road is one of my favorites. Its super cute and super functional. I love the fact that it leaves a little to the imagination. By that I mean, the dress is already short you don't need to have everything "up top" on display as well. I am a big fan of the high neckline on this dress. It adds not only class to the dress, but also because of the short hemline, allows for it to be suitable for day and night. Definitely a must have, and at $45 on Piperlime who wouldn't want it?

Skinny Jeans and Sparkly Top

 The last look I saw a lot of this past weekend was the skinny jean and sparkly top combo. This is another great look for a night out. It is super simple and easy. Pair it with a black heel or if you are feeling adventurous a color heel and you are ready for a night out on the town. I love this look with simple makeup and a bold red lip. It's very old school glamour. Sometimes less is more and with the sparkly top makeup needs to be minimal. I plan on doing a tutorial of this soon.

A night on the town should not cost you $1000 (unless you can afford it than by all means...take me shopping with you!) Just know no matter where you go and who you are with these outfits will make you stand out for all the right reasons. Until tomorrow...

Love, Always,
