I love when a dress looks relatively conservative from the front, and then surprises you with an open back. This little navy dress does just that. Saturday night we had a friend’s fabulous surprise birthday party on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel and I paired my dress with fun accessories and layered up as the autumn chill had certainly made its debut.

Sunset from the view at the Boom Boom Room at the Standard. Note to all: You must visit the bathroom there; it is INSANE.
