Malibu and Back Again

Whew! I'm tired from my fabulous trip to Malibu tonight. Ok, I didn't really visit Malibu tonight, but I did go to High Bar NYC. They hosted a really great Malibu themed party this rainy evening. The party was put together in part by The Brier Group/Fox Greenberg Public Relations. A lot of the amazing talent that makes up The Brier Group/ Fox Greenberg was in attendance, bringing some very important guest with them. No one that would be publicly noted, but still very fun people at that. Although, I am told many celebrities freaquent this New York City hangout.
If you don't know about High Bar NYC then you are missing out on this exclusive intimate hot spot, located at 251 W. 48th Street, 16th floor. The terrace looks out into the skyline of New York, creating the feeling of calm. It was too bad that it was raining, but if it hadn't been the guest could have been lounging on the outdoor terrace and relaxing in the beautiful garden. Couches and large plush ottomans line the walls, making all feel at home. It's a very comfortable atmosphere, providing light breezes and comfortable surroundings. A DJ playing many nastalgic beach tunes in the corner. I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined I was in a posh beach house in Malibu. Which makes this airy bar a must see, and the events held, a must go.
Malibu in New York definetly had it's benefits. Drinks and food are served from 5p-8p, and let me tell you that the Mr. Pink, a signature drink of the bar, is my new favorite summer treat. Even as I write this blog hours after I've finished drinking the small frozen drink, I'm a little tipsy. The food was wonderful, yet simple "beach" munchies, sliders and pigs in a blanket.
I've been told that Fox Greenberg/The Brier Group is planning on having this lovely gathering for ten weeks. Each week is a different theme and country. Next week is South Africa in New York. Who wouldn't want to celebrate the World Cup? (Not really a celebration of the World Cup, but we can say it is if you attend.)
So as this is a beauty blog (and sometimes more) I really must mention the lovely "swag" bag that was provided. So many of these bags are useless, but this one was top of my list. Fantastic was the word that came to mind as I looked through the lovely gift they gave me for having fun. The bag had make-up, magazines, eye-lash curlers, and was topped off and completed by an inflated beach ball. Thank you to all of the sponsers of the bags.... High Bar, Tarte Cosmetics, Hamptons Magazine, and Stila Cosmetics. In the next weeks to come, there will be many great bags to follow. If you are interested in these lovely and networking parties for the fashion, journalistic, and PR elite, I don't know what to tell you. I was actually invited because my very creative friend is on the inside. I'm one of the lucky ones. Plus, I promised to write about my experience. What a wonderful experience it was.
I met many ladies and gentlemen that I would gladly keep in touch with. I hopefully will get more readers. Lastly, I had a blast. Thank you High Bar and Fox Greenberg PR!
