Black and yellow

Black Tie Event…

Dressing for an upscale event can simultaneously be the most exciting and stressful thing you’ll have to plan all summer. Whether you’re meeting with old friends or important acquaintances, you’ll want to make sure you’re looking glamorous.  Staying cool in summer temps while stunning the crowd isn’t a simple task, but can be done with the right styling.

This yellow and black circle-skirt dress from Carolina Herrera is a showstopper on its own but when paired with these Dolce and Gabbana earrings, you’ve taken a pretty dress to a jaw-droppingly gorgeous look.  It’s easy to go overboard for a black tie event, so I’ve chosen to bring in this sleek Alexander McQueen clutch.  A dramatic eye brings the entire look together and adds the right hint of glamour to the gorgeous earrings and ring. This look is luxurious, but also elegant. Try a pair of black flats if you’re attending an outdoor event, but if the party you’re going to has a marble/hard wood floor, you know these Casadei shoes will be a knockout choice.
