Remember that scene in Factory Girl when Edie Sedgwick is at a party where she meets Bob Dylan for the first time and she's wearing this amazing backless gold minidress? Yeah. Didn't think so. Well, not only do I remember the scene, the dress, and every moment of the romantic interlude between the two characters that followed, I was so inspired by it all that I went ahead and bought a similarly backless gold minidress. Mine is by amazing Parisian designer Jay Ahr, and I broke it out this week for the Christie's Young Collectors cocktail and party that Anthropologie threw with the Sundance Channel.

All photos, as usual, are by my fave dreamboat shutterbug, Joey D'Arco. Let me know what you think. xx

Entering the Anthropologie party. Loved that they had the company's name in lights on the marquee.

I always love the accessories at Anthropologie. I couldn't resist trying on a necklace during the party.

When one of the cash register phones randomly started ringing, Kristian took it upon himself to answer it. Needless to say, the ensuing conversation did not go smoothly. Oops? But doesn't he look handsome?

Ran into my friend Cristina Civetta at the party. Love her floral scarf.

Wrapped up in the pretty shower curtains at Anthropologie. They have the greatest home stuff.

Here's an extreme close-up of the fabric of my dress. It's this amazing thin gold chain mail, metal-like material. Love.

After exiting the party, we hung out for a few minutes while we waited for a cab to come driving by. This is taken right outside of Rockefeller Center.

I love Lia Sophia jewelry. It's my evening go-to. These earrings were designed by Dani Stahl, who moonlights as a designer for them along with her day job at Nylon magazine.

Un petit smoke break. I know. I know.
