Well last night’s Cocktails with Claire in New York was nothing short of electric!

The Nolitan Hotel’s Cantine Parisienne was bumping with beats by DJ Kiss, drinks courtesy of Svedka, and the chatter of Empire State trendsetters, influencers, and fashion lovers.

Fabulous photographer Mary Caroline Mann had so much fun shooting pictures for our Atlanta event that she decided to travel with us to each stop! Take a look at a few fun attendees she plucked from the crowd:

RocNation songstress Bridget Kelly came by in a Helmut Lang Sugar jacket, leggings, and haute sandals.

Fashion Bomb news writer Jihan looked lovely in a patterned Clover Canyon Fall 2012 Glacial frock, Lulu Frost earrings, and Talbots sandals.

White on white looked so right on this Fashion Bomb reader. Country club chic!

Warner Brothers A & R rep and Newlyweds star Alaska popped by with his beautiful wife Kim. Loving the printed pants and the pop of blue!

Stylist Ty Hunter feted the night in a colorful Topshop shirt and black slacks.

There were so many fantastic hairstyles on display! This diva set off a yellow blazer and slim fit pants with a voluminous coiffe.

And this young lady looked ready for the summer/fall transition in a crop top and faux fur vest.
Inside…

DJ Kiss set the tone for the night, both in terms of music and style. She looked her usual lovely self in a Matthew Williamson blue tapestry dress and studded Saint Laurent Jerry sandals.

Bright pumps and a matching clutch emboldened this crop top and printed skirt combo.

Hairstylist Cynthia Alvarez worked black and white tones, along with purple tinged locks.

Jason Andrew stays fly! He offered a preppy aesthetic in a mixed print jacket, button up, and tie.

Queen of Effortless Chic Daisy Lewellyn looked scintillating in a draped orange cocktail and patterned sandals.

These young artists turned heads in a Katie Eary tee, leather skirt, and spiked Christian Louboutin pumps on the left and a Givenchy tee, leather skirt, and red Valentino rockstuds on the right.

And Faith was a little tardy to the party, but I did snap a flick with Fashion Bomb writers Jihan and Cliché. We opted for a ‘prints’ theme with patterned pieces offset by neutral tones.
As for me, I opted for pants and wore my hair down to switch things up! My outfit for the night included a Marni peplum top, J.Crew windowpane pants, and Gianvito Rossi bi color pumps.

What do you think?
As the night continued, even more gorgeous guests stopped by. Take a look:

It was a fun night to say the least!
