{ sunshine }

i may be back in black this week, but that hasn't stopped me from dreaming of a few colorful lovelies. we all must arm ourselves with a little sunshine on those grey winter days:

{ clockwise from top left: kolae trousers (i wore them in green HERE), agent provocateur leopard gloves, 3.1 philip lim blouse, ray ban sunnies, giovanna battaglia (i'm stealing that scarf-around-the-waist idea!) by vanessa jackman, asos neoprene skirt, marc by marc jacobs chevron skirt, deborah lippman nail polish }

{ dinner } at tiffany's

{ i wore: tiffany earrings, necklaces and bracelets (on loan for the evening), gifted kimberly taylor dress (worn as a top), hyde belt, zara skirt (last seen HERE), tiffany clutch (recently seen HERE), manolo blahnik shoes (seen in my kitchen in THIS POST // i found a similar pair for you HERE) }

last thursday night i had the extremely unique privilege of hosting a dinner party at the newly-redesigned tiffany suite at the st. regis hotel in new york. as a fervent fan of both interior design (especially inside swanky hotels! my, how i adore them.) and jewelry (speaking of swanky, i was subtly dripping in borrowed diamonds all night. i loved it.), it was truly like living in a dream.

i was entrusted with this honor as tiffany's newly-appointed eyewear ambassador, and as such i invited a few fellow online scribes to make themselves at home with me there. we celebrated the launch of their latest frames (i've been wearing THIS PAIR nonstop ever since), and were treated to manicures courtesy of deborah lippman, endlessly flowing champagne, and a decadent dinner laid out on tiffany settings by tuxedoed waiters. a girl could really get used to this kind of life!

thank you so much to my friends at tiffany for this unforgettable experience, and to jamie, elana, heather, karla, tracey, sydne, carolyn, julie, and anya for graciously attending. of course i tweeted my whole way through, and shared a few extra instagram pics on facebook too!!

on a photo shoot last week, i was introduced to deborah lippmann and her dazzling nail polish collection. color me obsessed! i haven't been this excited about a new lacquer since chanel jade first made the scene. thank goodness they're available online (i've already put in an order for 'ruby red slippers' and 'happy birthday)!!
