Secret Soirée

Ariel Rivera, Style Editor

Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending a Secret-sponsored Fashion Week cocktail party thrown by BeyondBeautyBasics and TheMakeupGirl. The forward-thinking minds behind the sites threw the party in recognition that bloggers and online media have become big players in the world of Fashion Week coverage. The theme was "Fresh and Fearless" and a lottery drawing placed a fresh $1000 in the pockets of a lucky guest to help her in conquering her "secret" fear. Beauty industry heavy hitters like Ted Gibson -- host of TLC's "What Not to Wear" and hairstylist to celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway -- mingled, danced, and sipped champagne alongside us editors, bloggers and stylists. Stila make-up artists applied touch-ups, and great music filled the chic SoHo space. The energy was amazing and it was refreshing to be surrounded by so many intelligent bloggers -- all of whom share a love of Secret, and, of course, fashion.
