a black-tie affair

Tonight, I’ll be joining my boyfriend at the annual Ringside for Mercy black-tie gala. This will be our fourth year attending the event, and I can tell you, it’s one of my favorite nights each year. We always have the best time! There are live boxing matches between financial industry professionals and traders – and plenty of dining, dancing, live and silent auctions. The charity event benefits a great long-standing organization in Chicago, The Mercy Home for Boys and Girls. I’m looking forward to dressing up in a long gown and dancing the night away! It’s safe to say tomorrow will be a cozy day at home. 🙂

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
