    I was grateful to have a vegan cake in the fridge to share with friends during the after-party.

    I always try to organize my accessories in advance before a big night out. It helps with the out-the-door rush!

    I’ve found that a good makeup artist is at her best when you let her do whatever she wants. Angie Parker is a pro, and I love that she uses natural products with minimal chemicals.

    The best makeup test is to check the glam on your selfie cam with good frontal lighting. Who needs mirrors?

    Heels for a techno party is a gutsy move, but essential to pair with a sheer dress. I went with Gucci, head-to-toe.

    Michael Silva blesses the coif! The circlet I chose was Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele’s birthday gift to me. Thanks Lallo!

    I definitely had to giggle through some nerves on my way to the Campbell. . .

    I threw this party for me, but even more for my friends: my second family. Dara is my number one, and cohosted the evening in a dazzling Marc Jacobs gown. Friends who stunt together stay together, and that’s the truth!
