Every year on January 22nd Eddie and I have a big night out in honor of two occasions. The first, is Eddie’s birthday. The second is the anniversary of when we first met four years ago. It’s rather convenient having these both on the same day and it makes the day that much more special.
This year, Eddie and I met with Hunka, Kendle et al. for drinks at Boltini. Then we walked over to Jim Gould’s for dinner and live jazz. The dinner was perfect, as always. I had a filet and Eddie had the Chicken Picata. At one point during the meal, Eddie pulls out a box from under the table and slides it over to me. I open it and find a beautiful bezel set diamond necklace! He had been hiding this from me all evening…very sneaky!
I wish we had pictures from our big night out, but in their absence, this collage will have to do. I received several compliments on my dress and clutch, so I figured I would post what I was wearing that night.

Clockwise from top left: Fully Fashioned French Heel Stockings, Onyx Stud Earrings (Tiffany’s), Silk Bouquet Clutch (Santi), Platform Heels (Kate Spade), Navy Blue Devoré Hearts Dress (Marc Jacobs), Rhinestone Hair Pin à la Natalie Wood, Bezel Set Diamond Necklace, Leather Gloves, Raccoon Collar Coat* (DKNY), 1940s Vintage Style Makeup and Hair
*Not exactly what mine looks like, but it’s the same style.
Note: I’m usually not the type of girl who is into heart motifs, but I was really drawn to this dress. The navy is so dark it’s almost black, which helps to tone down the hearts. It’s hard to tell, but the yoke is sheer like the illusion necklines I love. I really like the way it fits and it was feminine without being childish or cutesy.
