I have recently helped put together a party for my friend’s production company that was about to debut their first film and today was the big day.  We had arranged to have this event happen at this huge mansion that we rented out and did not skimp on vamping it up.  We arranged for everything from furniture to catering, we had it all covered and I was excited to see how it would play out.

Since most of it was going to be outside because of the spectacular view and the amazing pool, I decided to wear this great cloth Marc Jacobs dress because the material dresses it down and makes it comfortable, but the design is classy and extremely cute.

I got dressed and headed to the location around 4:30pm just to make sure everything was set up accordingly and running smoothly.  We had an array of things happening, from a live band and DJ to different types of food set up in different stations throughout the property.   The food was definitely handled by me personally because, well, I love food and wanted to make sure that everyone was going to eat well.  Sushi, grilled meats, tapas, cheese, crepes we had the works, and truthfully that is what I was looking forward to the most.

Getting everything prepared was not an easy task and it was quite hectic up until we opened the doors at 7:30.  After about an hour into the party it was almost as if my job was done, because all I had to do was mingle and make sure everyone was having a great time.

Who says you can’t sample what every chef has to offer and mingle simultaneously?  Now if only my heels were as comfortable as this dress!

“Never be the first to arrive at a party or the last to go home, and never, ever be both.”

cheers…
