Pop! Fizz! Clink!

On Valentine's Day we had a swanky cocktail party.

 We decided that no where in town would they do something as fancy as we would like so we decided a dress-up, black-tie optional party it would need to be.

I mean, who just wants to sort of get dressed, up go eat a prix-fixe meal with a ton of other people (probably not having a great time) and then come back home.



So we cleaned up the house and planned a bunch of food and a great bar and invited a bunch of friends - couples and not!






The husband looked dashing in his tux. 


And I wore a Sonia Rykiel sequined dress with sheer collar and cuffs paired with the Manolo Blahnik Fiocam black patent mary janes.



I'm glad our friend got a few action shots during the party.  We were having so much fun we didn't get any during the event.  I think this needs to be an annual thing… or at least more often than we've had them, which is like several years apart!

Change of Heart

I went into the drugstore just the other day... the day BEFORE Christmas... and the shelves were already lined with Valentine's Day candy!!!  What the heck, people?!?!  I haven't even started eating the candy from my Christmas stocking yet!



But, while I think it is very wrong to have candy hearts out already, I was very excited and happy to get the surprise my Sweetie brough home to me - the Valentine's Day themed Sally Hansen Salon Effects!

He knows I love these and brought me 4 of the 5 designs (buy one, get one 50% off at CVS, by the way).  These were the 4 I would have picked, so good job!


I love this pink/red/purple graphic design called "How Romantic".


The gradient, holographic pink hearts on white are adorable as well - "Speed Dating"




This swirly pattern is so pretty - "Are You Single"



And how cute are the Xs and Os done as hearts??? - "Cross My Heart"



My least favorite (and the one he didn't buy) is the word design "Love Always"


So not only should you go and grab these super sweet designs, you will be excited to know there are new core patterns coming for 2012 as well! Check them out...


I want to get Sweet Tart-an, Queen of the Jungle, Spring Fever and Love Letter. 
How sweet!!! 

I got my SHs at CVS but they are also available on/at ULTA.

Ensemble du Jour - Valentine's Day at Bergdorf's

I can't believe I'm still putting up pictures from New York which was, yes, last month. Slack!

This past Fashion Week happened to fall on Valentine's Day as well. Sadly, I was away from home but I did take the time out to partake in one of my favorite things... afternoon tea.

And just a quick education - Afternoon Tea is the tea where you have tiny sandwiches, scones and pastries while High Tea is served later and was/is more of the evening meal for the "common" folk. It is a common mistake but one that drives me crazy!

I knew that Bergdorf's had an Afternoon Tea service but had never been. When I found out they were doing a special service for Fashion Week, I had to go.



The view was lovely. I'll have to go back in Summer or Spring when all the trees are not so bare.



The service was lovely and the tea was very cute including sugar cookies in the shape of a shoe and pink pastries.



To tea I wore a dress from Anthropologie. It's black with an intricate black and yellow bodice and and a full yellow tulle underskirt.



I picked up a pair of bright yellow wrist-length gloves to match.





I paired the dress up with polka-dot stockings and my Aerosole silver buckle heels.


A girly outfit perfect for an indulgent girly afternoon at one of my favorite stores.
