A dress, live music & desserts for dinner

Wednesday, October 21st, 2015

A few steps from my hotel is this gorgeous shop that had many of my favorite designer’s works of art.  There were so many beautiful, dazzling dresses, outfits and shoes… it was dreamy.

Then this dress. I couldn’t take my eyes off of.

The sales people were so nice and inviting (they were actually celebrating something with champagnes and cakes and even offered us some) I almost, almost tried this dress on.

I regret i didnt’. 😛

Honestly, I was not feeling too well and was so tired, that I even arrived late to the event. Thanks to my cutest assistant Chloe, set up and clean up was  a breeze. She set up my jewelry table all by herself while I was  enjoying the tea in the dining room.

Thank you Cathy for the delicious food and tea you prepared for us!
