The Scene
First celeb we peeped upon arriving was Olivia Munn. OMG! She is hot like fire.
Now I get why all those nerds are bonkers for her. Almost keeled over when I saw THAT tiny pert ass in that tight white dress. Gave me a may-jor girl boner.
Hadn't downed my first glass of champagne when I saw THE most perfectly messy side bun.
It was attached to an amaze pair of legs in shorts. I couldn't see the girl's face but I was completely entranced with her graceful insouciance, how she carried herself, how she made her way through the crowd. Pointed her out to Miss JordyPants, practically drooling and again sporting major fashion girl wood.
We eventually saw the amazing face attached to the amazing legs and amazing bun: Diane Kruger. Ugh. No wonder she is every fucking designer's darling. She carries herself in a way that makes you want every single thing on her person. Very Euro nonchalant glam. Her head to toe look was my fave of the night.
As Ms. Jordy and I drank and ate and gabbed about friends, work and family, we'd discretely point out all the celebs walking by: Jamie King in a mash up of Olivia's and Diane's looks
Jennifer Love Hewitt in sequins
David Arquette looking sweet and a bit lost
Cat Deely
That Georginna from Gossip Girl
That Claire from the OG 90210
That teacher from Glee
And THAT'S SO RAVEN!
We had no idea that Kristin Chenoweth
Lea Michele
And Sarah Silverman---my favorite woman on Twitter---were also at the party.
Probably too busy peeping all the randomness at the party. Like the cigarettes scattered around. Very Mad Men. Don't think I've ever seen that before.
Also visited the Clarisonic demo cabana next to the Essie manicure cabana.
Talked to my favorite star of the night (Alison Janney) before getting our photo booth silly on.
Ended the night gabbing with my new favorite man on the planet, Mr. Brad himself. Ugh. He was even more lovely and charming and chatty than last time. We talked doggies, Trevor Project, Diane Kruger stealing his bow tie signature and that big deal book deal he just announced. Adore his face.
Esp. adore that upon seeing me, he lit up and said, "Let me look at you...Miu Miu heels...Stella clutch" Love a man with a photographic memory about accessories. We're kindred spirits like that.
Miss Jordy fell hard for him too...well before he complimented her adorable denim and sequin look. A+!
The cherry on top of a celeb-filled night out catching up with my oldest blogging friend? A gift bag stuffed with Essie and the Clarisonic that I've been DYING to try. Best gift bag haul I've seen in years, ladies. Forget the vagaries of Wall Street, I take that as a promising economic indicator.
But my favorite gifts of the night were the sweet tweets from Mr. Brad and Miss Jordy after the soiree
Not sure how I've lucked out with this life...with so many great peeps surrounding me...but I'm grateful...every day...every gift bag.

The Commentary
Meh to my outfit tonight. Def not on par with the fashionistas that brought it at the event. Feel like I'm in a total fashion funk lately. Partly because I feel so out of shape, partly because I'm tired
all the time which zaps my sartorial creativity.
Sure, the dress was cute enough. For $20 it's flirty and flowy in all the right places, making it look more pricey than it is. But there wasn't enough of a "wow" factor for the occasion. Nothing particularly on trend and definitely not fashion forward
Maybe if it was longer---like this midi---it would have felt more modern.
Wasn't sure the clutch was quite right either. I love it but I think my Chanel bag might have been the better choice.
At least I loved my shoes.
And how the print of the shoes mixed with the print of the dress.
Kicked everthing up a notch so it wasn't too Kate Middleton boring.
Best shoes of the night go to these Miu Mius.
Jenna Elfman's
Think maybe I would have felt better about the whole look if I'd spent a little more time on my hair and makeup. Made the bangs behave and the lips pop. Like this gorgeous child.
