Hollywood Style

This past Thursday, James and I attended the 100th episode party for Clean House, the show he is working on. I've avoided blogging about it because I knew I would have so much to write, but alas it's time to get it all down! It's weird to think that James was on set for the filming of awards that will be featured on their 100th episode. Some of the houses were well deserving of the awards, or so I'm told :)

At first I was a little nervous about going to the party. James had informed me that it would be dressy casual, and that it would be held in a house in the hills. Of course I always hate the phrase dressy casual, also known in the sorority world as "snappy casual". I find it so much easier to dress for events when the attire is labeled as dressy or casual. Not both. But either way, I chose to wear a beautiful black sleeveless top my mother-in law gave to me a couple of Christmas' ago, with my skinny fit jeans, and strappy black heals. For a purse I carried my coach clutch that my mom had given me as a Christmas present as well.

James and I parked in the recommended parking structure where we were driven to the hilltop party in town cars. I was able to meet a fair amount of James' co-workers while awaiting our transportation. They were all so nice! Everyone was fun and looking quite fabulous. Luckily I think I made the right choice in attire, I felt I fit in well into the scene and not out of place. The town car came and up the hill we went. We were dropped off at the top where a beautiful home sat with a red carpet, awaiting our arrival . We had to check our names at the door. Once inside there were delicious deserts, appetizers, and drinks awaiting us. The appetizers were amazing....shrimp, steak, mushroom puffs, chicken, and a cheese and cracker dish. The desserts were pretty good too...rice krispie treats, chocolate fondue with strawberries, pretzels, marsh mellows, and of course they had really cute cupcakes. The waiters were all extremely fun and lively. I was even able to sample the new "it" energy drink called Her.

There was a DJ playing great music and the whole house was pretty empty to allow for more room to mingle. The outside patio was gorgeous. The pool was light up a purple pink color. There were candles everywhere too! They had an open fire pit that was very modern in the style. I also enjoyed the extra touch of Modern Home and O magazines on all of the tables. The best part and most beautiful though was the view of the city. You could see all the lights of the city and the hills. It was the kind of view you would think of seeing in the movies. I wish had brought our camera....it was amazing!!!

So many interesting people were there, and I was able to meet most of them which was amazing!!! The heads of Style network, the hosts of the show, the designer of the show, those coordinating the show, those who edit the show, other productions assistants, sound people, and more. It was so great to see and meet the people James works with and for. I was even told that Paris Hilton was at the party before we arrived!!! Only in Hollywood right?!

It was a great and fun night! On our way out we received gift bags with chocolate, anti-oxidant water, magazines, and 100th episode CDs. I was so glad that James and I got to experience this together. I hope they have another party soon!!!!
