On Tuesday I took the train into the city and met up with Meg, my roomie. After checking into the hotel and snapping some photos of our day looks we got ready for the cocktail party that was sponsored by Aloxxi.
Aloxxi is a line of professional hair color and care products brought to you by George Schaeffer aka the creator of OPI Nail Color. There were two stylists at the event and after consulting with them and deciding your new hair color, miss Lauren Friedman of my closet in sketches (she also does the illustrating for 'Dear Lucky') sketched you in your new color.
As to be expected, the names of the Aloxxi hair color line are just as catchy as what you'd find on the bottom of any bottle of OPI - with color names inspired by Italy, it was a tough choice between 'seduction on the grand canal' and 'intrigue on the spanish steps'. Eventually the stylist I was talking with, David Crandall and I decided on 'espresso yourself'.
Truth be told, I've never colored my hair, but if I did, I'd probably look to Aloxxi to 'espresso myself', if for no other reason than the fun names.
I had a really fun time at the party, I met a few new bloggers, Lucy of Daily Disguise, Courtney of Girl Avant Garde and Sam of Style of Sam. I definitely prefer smaller more intimate settings; at the FABB conference itself I wasn't really able to connect with too many individuals.
And the party also had some amazing passed appetizers and a wickedly good mojito.
It was a fun night.

So fun! Love your neon top with the sequined skirt.
You look gorgeous in neon! It is great to attend the more intimate events and meet other bloggers. I wish I was back in NYC!

Woohoo for your sparkleyness! :D I feel like I need to go more in detail on my Aloxxi post now, but I'm going to be lazy and leave it how it is ;)

Love the neon top it's funny cause I have something just like this on today I got the top at f21 great pictures and loved how you styled it both ways!!!
Sounds fun! And, as always, I just think you and Meg are the epitome of chicness.

Love the way you transitioned that blouse from day to night. It looks great with both the sparkly skirt and the white denim shorts:)
You look gorgeous in that sequin skirt Lyddie! I'm glad you're having fun!
Sounds like a fun trip to NYC! I've always wanted to go there. I love the sequined skirt you wore to the cocktail party!
Check out that sleek outfit transition... that skirt really does steal the night (is that a phrase? steal the night? steal... something... you know what I'm trying to say, hopefully). It's very stellar and reminds me of the night sky, or perhaps the city lights at dusk. Love it! And glad that you had a more than awesome time.
I think it'd be an awesome job to just be able to name nail polishes. They're like tiny pieces of poetry, aren't they?
All of your outfits were perfect! (as usual) You never disappoint!
I love the sparkly skirt, so pretty! Glad you had a blast!

I love how you took your neon top from day to night for the conference! It sounds like an awesome time! I prefer more intimate get-togethers too, but I would still love to attend something like this one of these days!
Your sparkly skirt is pretty spectacular. I bet you turned quite a few heads in that outfit :)
Looks like you had such an amazing trip. I love how you transformed your outfit from day to night replacing those shorts with that fabulous skirt!!
Love it. Glad you got to go and that you had fun.
