One of the things I was most excited about going to ALT summit
was the anticipation of their big Clue party....
and WOW.. did it even exceeded my expectations!
I had the best time...
I found a perfect place to perch myself...
for the most extraordinary party people watching ever....
Creativity and beauty abounded every which way you looked!
When I signed up for Alt in August, (it sold out in just about 30 minutes)
What to wear to the party was eagerly at the top of my to do list!!
When I found this tulle perfection in Paris this November at L'Opera
I knew this was going to be the perfect beginning to a fabulous party outfit!
I added a sequin jacket from Zara...
to which I attached a vintage fox fur collar...
added a J Crew beaded white T,
sparkly heels...
a vintage crystal evening bag...
a vintage crystal evening bag...
a pair of my encrusted pearl cuffs....
and the 'crowning glory'...
my tiny crown creation of rhinestone whimsy.

Nothing like a tiny crown to make you feel like
the belle of the ball :)
It truly was a magical night...
as always dear friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
You look like the belle of the ball, Tamera! What a fabulous outfit and it sounds like the perfect event to wear it to! You are such an inspiration!
ReplyDeletePam. thank you so much! It was such a great event... never once at the conference, did I feel to old to be there. I really believe style trumps age any day... in a creative community!

ReplyDeleteahh... thank you my dear, dear friend!
ReplyDeletePerfect and fun! Love the look!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barb!
DeleteGoodness Gracious, I am so captivated with your dreamy world. I can just imagine you enjoyed every minute of the evening. The ensemble is nothing short of radiant...very ethereal, soft, and oh so beautifully feminine. Welcome home, Cinderella!
ReplyDeleteSarah you are so, so sweet! It was quite a memorable night! If you ever get a chance to go to ALT I'm sure you would love it too!
DeleteOh my word, Tamera, you are like some gorgeous Snow Princess - all white and frothy and sparkly, like freshly fallen snow! You look beautiful. When in doubt, plan a fabulous outfit to knock everyone's socks off - that seems a good a motto to live by as any! xxx
ReplyDeleteYes my dear, that was exactly my motto for this trip! I'm new to this blog world... and was surrounded by the best bloggers in the design realm...so doubt was my traveling companion....but it's prominence was dulled with some outfits I Loved! i think of it as a fun version of body armor!
DeleteWhat a fabulous party outfit! I'm sure everyone was wondering, "who *is* that fabulous woman?"

Thank you, thank you my dear!
DeleteThere you are, Tamera - you have incredibly presence! And your outfit is just so beautiful. xo
ReplyDeleteAmber thank you so very much for your kind words, they are a gift!!
DeleteLOVE, love,love your ensemble. Where can I purchase a "crown"? I want one for the 63rd birthday my husband is throwing for me. I remember when you purchased your tulle in Paris.....what a find!!! Again, your style is divine....
ReplyDeleteCatherine thank you so very much for your kind words! My crowns are still in the development stage. When did you need one by? Maybe I could do a special order for you. I must say I so enjoyed wearing my crown. I found it to be the perfect size, small enough to just say whimsy and large enough to say special occasion! I think you wearing one to your birthday would be perfection and would be the perfect accessory to celebrate your wonderful self!
DeleteMy honey will be throwing the party on March 30th.....with dancing! Yay!
DeleteOooh!! Yay!!!! That gives me time!! What a wonderful husband to throw you a party complete with dancing! If ever there was a call for a celebratory crown, this is it!! Where will this fabulous celebration take place?
DeleteIn Santa Barbara....still trying to figure out what I'm going to wear. Recently lost weight so I can now fit into some of my "old" beautiful clothes - it's as if I have a whole new wardrobe.
DeleteI don't know how i missed your response my dear! Santa Barbara.... how wonderful! Truly one of my very favorite places! We always stop there on our way to visit our daughter at school in SLO. Huge congratulations for your weight loss and returning to your 'old' beautifull friends!
DeleteYou have outdone yourself! Wow!!! You look absolutely stunning. The belle of the ball I am sure of it. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear Susan! It truly was a great night!
DeleteHow could I forget such stylish attendee! So happy we crossed paths! :D
ReplyDeleteYou and me both my dear!!!
