Some backdrops are simply made for fashion. And L’oscar London, with its theatrical baroque interiors and that extraordinary butterfly wall, happens to be one of them. Before heading out to celebrate my dear friend Monica’s birthday, I took a moment in my hotel to capture this look, and honestly, the setting did half the work.
There is something deliciously dramatic about L’oscar London. The décor is bold, layered, and unapologetically opulent, the kind of place where every corner feels like a stage set. That butterfly wall in particular is pure magic, both whimsical and grand at once. The perfect mirror for a night that was about to unfold in equally spectacular fashion.
My Chicago girl chose The Berkeley for her London birthday celebration, and what a celebration it was. The kind of evening that reminds you why dressing up matters, why effort has its own reward, and why the best friendships are the ones that make you fly across cities without a second thought.
So yes, a social butterfly in every sense. Not the restless kind who flits from surface to surface, but the kind who transforms, who shows up, who makes the moment.
And the outfit? Very much part of the story.
My look: Rachel black jumpsuit by Nadine Merabi, Angel platform sandals by Gucci, VSLING mini top handle handbag in black with sparkling embroidery by Valentino, silver-tone crystal clip earrings and crystal-embellished snake necklace, both by Alessandra Rich.
LoL, Sandra
