Birchbox Dinner at Malmaison

 I have never quite understood what a socialite truly was but I think slowly but surely, I am stepping a foot into that territory. Last night I had the honor of being invited to an intimate dinner for monthly beauty subscription service extraordinaire, Birchbox at the newly opened french dining venue Malmaison in Georgetown. This elegant affair was hosted by Chicago based public relations firm Skirt PR and maybe I am partial because they are midwestern influenced but I truly felt as if it was one of the best put together gatherings. (yes even better than the book signing that I raved about) The venue had a uptown feel to it, the floral arrangements were perfect for the summer season and the ladies of Skirt PR made everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. What was most appealing to me, was the fact that each Skirt Gal, spent time at each table chatting with us and getting to know DC through our eyes and experiences. Apparently DC has a huge market of Birchbox subscribers and this was a way of saying thank you. I spent most of my night speaking with Lauren and Adrienne from the firm and was delighted to know that Lauren still used “pop” over soda! Adrienne was a hoot to gab with and was thrilled to hear cute stories about her child. Most events are jam packed with people and its nearly impossible to have a conversation with others without competing with loud music or other chatty cathy’s but I was able to spend time conversing with Cheralee from Lyle Style and Naseya from The Seventh District easily. It was a blast to catch up with the both of them and I hope I see them far more often! I also finally ran into and got to ask every possible annoying question under the sun about her recent nuptials! I ended the night with the same wonderful ladies I started it with and without a doubt everytime I hang out with Elle, Im reminded what a true friend is.
 I am forever grateful for her. Thank you!
 All in all it was a superb night and Skirt PR has raised the bar on what an intimate and swank soiree should feel and look like.
