style: elie tahari grand opening

Last week, I had so much fun attending the opening of the Elie Tahari boutique at Saks! The event was hosted by Katie Cassidy, currently on Gossip Girl, but also an alum of the new Melrose Place (which was worth watching mostly for her wardrobe) and my favorite, horror mini-series Harper's Island. It's on Netflix on demand, if any of you love scary movies as much as I do.

But I digress. Katie Cassidy looked absolutely stunning in one of my favorite dresses from their fall line, as did all the other celebs attending the event decked out in Elie Tahari -- all of whom, I might add, seemed to have a totally understandable penchant for sparkles. Below are some other pictures from the event, including model Jessica White and pop star Kat De Luna. And, um, well, also me.

I had a super fun weekend, culminating with an awesome photoshoot with Jordan of Ramshackle Glam! I'm putting my thinking cap on for fall recipes, but it was great to spend an afternoon outdoors on one of the last few days of non-jacket weather. And we still got to drink mulled wine! It's like the best of both worlds -- fall cooking, spring temperatures. Yum.
