La Petite Robe Noire: Guerlain hosts the chicest party in Paris!

Little black dress: LBD. Every woman has one hanging in her closet. It's the dress we automatically reach for when we want to look our best. We're confident that it will flatter our figure and camouflage those extra pounds that have mysteriously accumulated on our hips while eating all those buttery croissants and chocolate eclairs during the winter. To celebrate the arrival of Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette, all of the invitees were asked to wear their favorite little black dress to an exclusive party in Paris last night.

Best friend: Even more than a little black dress, every woman needs une copine, a friend we can call when we receive a much-coveted last minute invitation to a soiree that promises to be the chicest event of the year. Fortunately, my Best Friend in Paris (aka Donna) agreed to tear herself away from the cows and chickens at the International Agricultural Show when I sent a text message asking her to join me at Guerlain's boutique in the Marais.

Champagne: The bubbly beverage that women like to drink with our friends when we're all gussied up in our little black dresses.


With free flowing pink champagne and a DJ who created a lively atmosphere by playing La Petite Robe Noir's signature song, These Boots Are Made for Walkin', Guerlain treated its guests to an unforgettably swanky evening.

Spritzing on some of the La Petite Robe Noire eau de toilette that was in our goodie bag, I felt as sophisticated as if I was wearing a little black dress when I left my apartment in jeans this morning. The fresh floral/fruity scent is light yet captivating in its complexity. Spray some on the next time that you're in your local department store and let me know what you think!
