The day of the Atlantic-Pacific x LAKE Launch Party didn’t start out so great. I was incredibly busy with work and woke up with a migraine. I felt like I had nothing to wear and was really nervous about not knowing anyone there. Despite all of those things working against me, I couldn’t have been happier to attend. An evening with LAKE was simply perfect and exactly what you would expect from the mind of the great Blair Eadie.

As I took the train from Connecticut to Grand Central and on the 6 to the Lower East Side, I was so happy to be back in the buzz of the city. The venue, The Canary Club, had been on my radar of places to go for awhile, a New Orleans-inspired corner bar that you have to be in-the-know to know where to find it. As I walked down the stairs, the music of an all-female jazz trio, sporting matching LAKE pajamas, set the mood.

It’s hard to envision so many incredibly dressed women all in one space. There wasn’t quite a dress code, but nearly everyone understood the assignment. Think bright colors, eye-catching patterns, and lots of accessories. It was the perfect opportunity to debut my new feathered button-down and coordinating light blue pants. The signature cocktail for the evening was the ROYGBIV. Essentially a Paloma, it had the tiniest bit of a kick for the Gris Gris Magic Jalapeño Hex. As a parting gift, everyone received a bottle and I can’t wait to recreate the concoction at home.

Although my didn’t start of quite how I wanted, I couldn’t have been happier to have made the trip into the city. Sometimes you have to remind yourself to stop looking for excuses and be a doer. After all, there will always be another night to relax and home, but such stunning soirées can be very fleeting.
