One of my models, who is also a friend, joined me at the Kimberly Hotel for dinner out after I had styled her .  We had lovely time.  Below our impromptu shots of the night!

I styled Sam in a fabulous, and I mean FABULOUS tunic by Anna Sui.

It has three layers of tulle underneath , the embroidery is divine and the triple layers of beads decorating the flared sleeve-- well the sum total of the piece reminds me of clothing I have seen in costume exhibits, that is how beautiful this tunic is.

Of course on Sam, the outfit was the perfect compliment to her own luminous looks  Below a shot of the whole look in the uber chic  lobby of the Kimberly Hotel.

Sam is wearing double buckle boots by Laurence Decade Paris . The  black chevron tights added a nice texture although they read brown here. They also added some opacity, as this tunic is short.

 The fingerless gloves are a chic accent, and are practical for when you are doing the things we ladies do... like check our iphones ! The gloves are CHANEL. via Designer Revival.  Sam wears sunnies from Style-Now.com, " Le Fleur"  in black. 

Below a candid of Sam checking her phone near the very cool fish tank. The colors are a bit off from light that the tank throws off,  but I liked this shot anyway. Another great feature of this great Hotel and restaurant -it even has a lively rooftop bar!

OH, this mirror !

Exquisite details above and below!

After a sumptuous dinner of skate fish and steak , we went to the rooftop bar. It was busy and lively! The views were tremendous!

Now Sam took my phone and got a snap of me outside. The lighting was not optimal, but you can see I am there and having fun! Below I am wearing a skirt from The Retreat Boutique, and a Mark Cross Bag.

I love when I find special places to go to. I found this place last year with Allie,  of AllieNYC.com , by a very happy accident.  I so enjoyed  visiting with Samantha, we had the best conversation about art, love, politics,  and the differences ( and similarities)  between our generations.

Do you have friends in different age groups ?   I have old and young friends alike, and I treasure each every one of them.  Please share your experiences below!

Happy week ahead, and love and prayers to anyone directly, or indirectly  affected by the hurricane.
