Last Wednesday evening some friends and I had the pleasure of attending Real Simple Nights, a special evening hosted by Real Simple magazine and sponsored by Opi, M&Ms Premium, Buitoni, Vera Bradley, and Neiman Marcus. For a group of stay-at-home moms who rarely utter the words “cocktail party”—much less experience one—the evening was fabulous!

Can you tell how much fun we had putting on the glam and going out on the town?

You are prohibited from laughing at this picture. This is a look we like to call “fierce.” Can you tell how hard we are trying not to crack up?

Opi was a sponsor, which meant MANICURES!!!

See my sassy pose? The better to reduce arm sag, my dears.
