I am so glad I didn't get into the party -- I met this Dolce & Gabbana model instead!




[If fashion is war, then consider Zandile Blay your embedded reporter. From fashion shows to stylish parties, she's there to cover it all -- from London to New York and everywhere in between. Read all about it from your favorite fashionista.]

Hearing the word "no," never felt so good. Last night, as I was trying to get into Paper Magazine's party featuring a performance by rap-star/fashionista Pharrell and his band NERD. Though I was personally invited by the magazine and confirmed days earlier, I was repeatedly ignored at the door. A lesser party girl might have taken this as her cue to go home, but not I. Smart move because by the end of the night I got to meet Tyler Riggs, (above) Dolce & Gabbana's next campaign model.

Lucy Sykes sundresses for girls


At some point this summer, there will be a family reunion, wedding or christening. If the good news is that kids are invited, but the bad news is the idea of an itchy, stiff dress turning your little princess into a monster, then check out Lucy Sykes New York, and all the pretty sundresses.

Beautiful prints, lightweight cotton, and, for a special party dress, fairly reasonable prices -- certainly under $100. It's not Target, but it's also not Dior. The dresses have a classic shape, with twirly skirts and enough ruffles to be festive without looking like a square dancing costume. They are also refreshingly free of glitter or other Bratz-like flair.

Sykes and her doubtlessly beautiful family -- including sons Titus and Heathcliff -- spend weekends in the Hamptons and jet around the world to Paris, Milan and London. Lucy tries to infuse her dresses with the spirit of these places. We're not sure if she succeeds, but we can definitely imagine them on some little girls we know, playing tag while the grown ups sip celebratory cocktails. Now that's a summer party.

Showcase delicious deviled eggs in style


Deviled eggs are a party delight. A bit too labor intensive for everyday eating, a plate of deviled eggs is sure to be cleared within minutes of hitting the table.

Knowing that you'll soon have an empty plate, plan ahead and serve them in a quirky egg platter. Save yourself the trouble of having to rush and clear the table, and instead consider the cute plate a part of your table decorations.

There are dozens of decorative egg plates from which to choose, thanks to a far and wide tradition of funny, funky and even elegant designs. Plates with holiday themes, especially Easter, chickens, word plays on devil or egg abound. Whether you pick a brand new, simple white plate, or search long and hard for just the right vintage version, serving deviled eggs will always guarantee your popularity.

Wimbledon girls' singles winner Laura Robson ditches white for the Champion's Ball


She might have had to wear all-white for Wimbledon, but 14-year-old girls' singles winner Laura Robson went with a totally different look at the Champion's Ball, choosing a short black dress and fun pink shoes.

Ikea is the best place in the world to buy paper napkins


One fast way to dress up a table or make a gathering festive is to pull out the party napkins. And our favorite place to get stylish, inexpensive paper napkins is that cathedral of stylish and inexpensive, Ikea.

We stocked up on our last trip to The Great Warehouse! Check out the great variety of colors and patterns. Also, you can't beat the quality. The heavy-weight paper is absorbent and lasts from hors d'oeuvres to dessert.

At the bargain price of $1.99 (on average), you can afford to pick up as many packs as strike your fancy. We like to keep several on hand so we can set a mod table or mix and match colors, depending on our mood.

Ikea also has several options for napkin holders, if you want to dress up your table even more. The only disappointment is that you can't order these paper products online -- just browse. Oh well, every excuse is a good excuse for a trip to Ikea!

The perfect cake for your fabulous party


Birthday parties, weddings, and other events call for cake. And, if you're trying to throw a stylish soiree, your cake should follow suit. Don't settle for a plain old layer cake or a simple sheet cake -- there's so much more available!

The cakes at I Dream of Cake are sure to make an impact, regardless of the party's theme. They have gorgeous, tall cakes with amazingly intricate floral designs, but if you're looking for something a little more specific, don't worry. They also have cakes in the shape of designer shoes and bags, Buddha, sushi, pianos, famous works of art, and more, making your cake far more than just dessert -- it'll be a centerpiece for the party and a topic of conversation for years to come!

Outdoor parties: Think about your shoes


What could be more romantic and elegant than an evening soiree under a white tent? You have the stars above, a summer breeze blowing softly, and undoubtedly beautiful (and flattering) lighting. You'll have no problem finding the right dress, but we'd like to take a second to talk to you about shoes.

Celebs dress to the nines for Stella McCartney party

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a shirt


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

Hola, nuestros amigos, hoy es mayo quinto. ¿Por qué no celebrar por el estilo?

That's right, we just dropped Spanish on your ass. We're pretty sure we said, "Hello, our friends, today is May 5th. Why not celebrate in style?" However, we could have been telling you about the pencil we had for lunch. It's a tricky language.

Why aren't you wearing this? Shield with stone earrings


As the weather heats up, so does the party scene -- we can hardly keep track of all the swanky events on our calendar. There are weddings, birthdays, and plenty of "just because" cocktail parties that give us reason to glitz up our everyday look. And, one of our favorite ways to take an outfit from day to night is with a pair of killer earrings.

Why aren't you wearing this? Yellow pashmina wrap


We often find, when attending a fabulous evening soiree in the Hamptons (or hitting up a pal's barbeque), we find ourselves a bit chilly by the end of the night. While a strappy little dress was just perfect when we left the house, once the sun has been down a few hours and we have a perfectly chilled cosmo in hand, we end up with goosebumps -- so not sexy.

Decorating for your Kentucky Derby party




The Kentucky Derby is right around the corner (Saturday, May 3) -- what are your plans? If you're not heading to Louisville, you can still enjoy the festivities of the event by hosting a fabulous party in your home.

If you want to keep some of the Derby traditions in tact, you'll need to serve some particular drinks and dishes, but even before the food comes out, you'll want to set the tone with decor. Here are two ways to decorate, going along with the two types of Derby-goers (Millionaire's Row and the infield).

Fashionable food and drink for your Kentucky Derby Party




A stylish party is one part fabulous atmosphere, one part gorgeous guests, and one part fashionable food and drink -- a Kentucky Derby party is no exception.

First things first -- you can't celebrate the Derby without serving up mint juleps. This is the traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby, made of sugar, water, mint, and bourbon (or variations thereof). Ideally, they should be served in a chilled, silver cup (which are fun gifts for your guests to take home).
