Date Night Outy: Winter in the City Series – ‘New Year’s Eve in NYC’!

30 Dec, 2009 | Date Night Outfits

Sooo…

There are a few options I still have avail to me for NYE. Yes, I still have not decided what I am doing yet or what I AM WEARING. For shiz. I feel tired already…

Ok, let’s see – I can choose from the following options:

1. Chic Celebration @ Stone Rose Lounge in the Time Warner Center;

I’ve been to Stone Rose Lounge a few times already and it is FABULUSH. I can only imagine how much more fabulush it will be on an eve such as New Year’s with the celebratory vibe and an unbelievable view of Central Park…STUNNING.

Problem is – I don’t have a date. You know, one that I would actually want to spend NYE with, not a filler-guy (sadly, they are more than eager to attend). The rest of the gals will be with their sidekick-fellas, so I am not so sure about this option.

2. Fabulous Soiree hosted in my gf’s townhouse apartment on the UWS;

My gf’s townhouse apt is UNREAL. With a Riverside Drive view of the Hudson River (fireworks?) and a celebration filled with industry peeps/up & coming designers/restaurant owners and such…I am thinking, drinks & schmoozing?

But that kinda feels more like work then a celebration. Plus it’s all the way on the UWS (yes, I’m serious – lol).

3. Exclusive NYE Party @ Soho House, courtesy of my gf K.

Just finished up a phone convo with my gf K. She is newly single, having broken up with her bf a few weeks before Christmas (the hell’s up with pre-holiday break ups.?? SUX x 100!!!). Since she is single, she is in total mingle-mode and asked me if I’d like come with her to the fabulously exclusive Soho House.

Darling K is an FIT grad and an emerging couture lingerie designer who resides in Williamsburg. She decided to MAKE HER OWN NYE DRESS. Seriously? Done. She designed a sultry, plunging v-neck navy number that will not only make her look ferosh, but will showcase her sick talent.

SO….WHAT WILL I WEAR, DAHLINGS?!?!

Date Night Outy -’New Year’s Eve in NYC’
Evening One-Shouldered Dress, Silver Peep-Toe Pumps, Cuff Bracelet

So dahlings…what are your plans for New Year’s Eve?

Mid-week kissies,

p.s. – My pink Nano finally arrived (officially twinsies, Liz!) & I just downloaded JM’s Battlefield Studies…track list works perfectly when blogging abt dating, hoo-wah!

My fav is ‘ASSASSIN’, about both lovers being heart-breakers.

Give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed

XOXO

1st Date Outfit "Do’s & Don’ts" as Deemed by Fashion By He!

5 Oct, 2009 | Date Night Outfits

Fashion by He, who herein shall be referred to as HE, is one of my abs fav male fashion bloggers & stylists. His witty & forthright commentaries on Street-Style looks, keeps me comin’ back to FBH cada dia, for shiz.

In his guest post, HE shall let us know what to and what NOT to wear, when going on a 1st date. Take it away doll…

Congratulations! You have secured a first date. Now the question becomes: what the hell are you gonna wear? Gotta ask yourself a question first: What do you want out of this date? If you want to get laid, dress and/or act slutty and it will probably work every time. If you want something a little more meaningful, read on.

You want to feel good on your date, so dress to impress. Always start with heels. Personally for He, if a girl shows up to a date and she isn’t in heels, she’s already dug herself a hole.

source

Unless you are going to be on an active date, wear heels. They make everything look better, plain and simple. After you have a pair of heels everything else is easy, or should be. What you wear will say a lot about you: dress too conservatively and the guy will think you’re not as fun and possible a ton of work; dress too whore-ish and, well, see paragraph 1. He says be comfortable but classy, show some skin, jeans are always a safe bet. Dresses are good too if you’re going to a classier joint.

source

Oh and if you’re gonna be cold, bring a damn jacket or something. He hates hearing a girl complain all night about being cold (providing He doesn’t have a jacket to give). Unless you want He to come warm you up (fine by He), bring something to keep you warm.

source

Now that we covered what to wear, lets get another thing straight. Blind date, first date, whatever date – You do not shake hands on a first date!!! Welcome to 2009, give a hug and/or a kiss on the cheek. He knows from first hand experience, some girls try to shake hands, give He a break. Unless the guy is foaming from the mouth, or some other clear disorder, you look date-retarded if you don’t give the kiss on the cheek. It’s harmless.

Don’t offer to pay, save your energy. Its a first date, the guy should always pay, and that’s for everything, none of this 50/50 sh*t either. No guy deserves a second date if he lets a girl shell out money on date one.

Best of luck on getting a second date. He isn’t a fan of all the “wait two days” bullsh*t. With bbm and texting and whatever else there is, people talk so much, not talking for 2 days would be weird after a good date. Call her, bbm her, text her, let her know you had a good time. Also doesn’t hurt if the girl sends a little thank you when she gets home: “had a great time, thanks again.”

I adore HE. Period.

Date Outfit: Summer in the City Series Finale – "Stroll on the Highline"

20 Aug, 2009 | Date Night Outfits

Ahh – the last days of summer are upon us and what better way to end the season on a high note, than by taking a romantic stroll on the High Line…

The High Line:
taken from www.thehighline.org

“The High Line was originally constructed in the 1930s, to lift dangerous freight trains off Manhattan’s streets. Section 1 of the High Line is open as a public park, owned by the City of New York and operated under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

It is located on Manhattan’s West Side and runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to 34th Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues. Section 1 of the High Line, which opened to the public on June 9, 2009, runs from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street.“

The High Line has even been featured in Bill Cunningham’s NYTimes “On The Street” slide show series. He calls it one of the most “extraordinary fashion promenades in the city..”

Be sure to visit the High Line before the weather gets too chilly, either by yourself (bring a book), or on a look-see after a dinner date! Definitely the perfect place to wear this outfit:

‘Stroll on the High Line’ Date Outy:
Menswear Fedora, Strapless Jumpsuit, Metallic Gladiator Booties

Date Outfit: Summer in the City Series – Cool Summer Nights…

9 Jul, 2009 | Date Night Outfits

Sooo, I have a dinner date for tom (Sat) evening!

I’ve been speaking to this new fella for the past week (details in next post) and we’ll be meeting for the 1st time tom, so I am hoping that he’ll be as interesting (and cute) in person as he is via cell convo.

I’m excited, since the past few weeks have been a bit slooow (i.e. previous prospects were la whack) - but everything slows down in the summer, right??

And what’s going on with these chilly summer nights – isn’t it still JULY - hello! So I’ve paired up a cool summer night outy just in case (I was thinking of doing a long cardy, but let’s keep it cute & sassy!). It’s a date after all

Date Night Outfit:
Cool Summer Nights -
Metallic Shrug/Cropped Jacket, Bold-Colored Tunic Dress, Chunky Arm Candy
