Botanical Gardens Gala

Tonight is the Botanical Gardens Gala and I am so excited to see what it's all about! The black tie event is held at the gardens and the weather is right for a great night! I was pretty bummed that Riley's not here to be my date but my lovely roommate, Morgan, was happy to step in. I'm wearing a pretty purple Nicole Miller long dress that makes me feel very Kim Kardashian (not sure if that's a good thing...) and haven't decided what jewelry to wear (should probably get on that considering it's tonight!). I can't wait to see all of the dresses the women are wearing.

My sister is wearing one of my grandmother's old, restored dresses from the 50's and is going to get her hair done a la Betty Draper. I can't WAIT to see what she looks like. I'm still deciding what to do with my hair and I can't wait to show you all pictures tomorrow! I'm getting it done at DryBar, which, if there's one in your area, I highly recommend going for a blowout. I also bought a Gilt City voucher back in October for a makeup tutorial and application at the wonderful Kimara Ahnert makeup studio and I'm thrilled to learn some new tricks from the pros (and I get a free brush set!!). What kind of look should I go for? I'm leaning toward a smokey eye. Anyways, in honor of the gala, some floral inspiration below. It's almost Friday!!
