The Weekly Covet: Soiree Style Staples That'll Make You Feel Fancy

1) Bvlgari Aluminium Watch
BVLGARI
bulgari.com
$3000.00
"Once upon a time, it was considered a bit of a faux pas to wear a timepiece to go with formalwear; to do so suggested a guest was counting down the minutes until it was acceptable to leave. As the Met's Costume Institute gala recently demonstrated, traditions have changed. Watches, like this one from Bulgari, are now welcome for formal eveningwear. Then again, maybe watching the time was exactly what everyone at the Met Ball was doing. It is, after all, an exceptionally long Monday." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

2) Arlen Bag
Brandon Blackwood

$250.00
"To keep planning for a formal event everyone should have a few staples that can work across the board. One of those being a small black bag that can work for evening. I love Brandon Blackwood’s structured silhouettes. Nothing is more annoying than trying to juggle your bag, phone, drink, handshakes, etc.—the small top handle makes it easy to slip onto your arm and the removable crossbody allows a hand free option." — Cassandra Hogan, Fashion Assistant
