The stillest time of the night is after the party has died

It is that magical, witching hour of the night, the time when in fairy tales Cinderella unfortunately turned from the bell of the ball to the Queen of the cinder pit and for those of us not living in a dream world; it is the time that the party has started to wind down.  The music, whose bass has been beating through everyone's body all night, has now quieted and the occasional laugh carries along through the air mixing with the soft whisper of the water in the pool; creating a much different atmosphere than the earlier hustle and bustle of the soiree.  It is that time when you can sit back and relax in the energy given off by those around you and take time to breathe and relax.  I always find myself wandering to the edge of the pool to have the sounds and dazzling lights dancing off the water lull me into a strange state of mediation.  Tonight I sparkled in a gorgeous new ensemble from dirty.little.secret exclusively for The Wash event.

The "Tube Top" and "Leather and Sequin" pants are available in Red and Gold with three different pairs of shoes for you to choose from as well.  This outfit is an exclusive release for the event, along with several other pieces that you just can't miss!  I love the casual, yet chic feel of this ensemble with its pencil pants and flowing tube top accented with gorgeous sequins.  The pumps that come with the outfit are a bit clunkier than I like, so I chose to toss on this fabulous new pair of shoes from ChicChica exclusively available at Cosmopolitan until tomorrow.  And if you are wearing sequins then make sure you add enough bling in your jewelry selections to balance out the ensemble without making it too much.  This is a careful balance, and when I am looking for jewelry with a mixture of heavy and light, I immediately look to this fabulous collection from Lazuri released last Fall.  You are sure to find the color combinations you are looking for and will adore the way you can mix and match the pieces of this collection.

The last glass has been taken to the kitchen and the couples are starting to curl up on the lounges around the patio as the singles spot me in my zen isolation at the pool, the final bottle of Champagne in their hands.  Well it's time for that last glass. the last toast and time to kick everyone out for a good nights sleep.  Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your night, or day as the sun is rising on the other side of the world right now, and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashion trends work for you!  xoxo Jade
