With two girlfriends in tow, sporting swanky frocks and jewels, I attended A Night in Monaco, a letterpressed invite-only event hosted tonight by CS Magazine to celebrate the grand opening of the Fletcher Jones Mercedes-Benz dealership. It was transformed into a veritable club atmosphere with spotlights and imported cars lining North Avenue waiting impatiently for valet. This was exactly the kind of night I had hoped for: passed hors 'doeuvres, caviar, champagne, even a novelty photo booth chock full of feathery, inflatable, and sparkly props to get crazy in!
A spring fashion show topped off the event with a hint of a classic car theme and 1920s Frenchie vibe: driving gloves, wild convertible hair. Capes. (My newest obsession!)
Dress code was "Jacket & Jewels", but most women were in high-fashion, high-octane scraps of material. I haven't seen more Beautiful People overflowing in one room since Miami.
Um, yes, please!

We boogied a little to live tunes at the after party which raged on long after we left. Fortunately, I didn't have to add to the overworked valet guy – just a mere hop, skip, and jump away across the street, schwag bag in arm, and I left the French Riviera for home sweet home.
