Tonite is the party that everyone’s been anticipating for sometime now, that will properly kick off the Christmas party season. That’s "Honey," a drink AND food inclusive event that is free for ladies and only JA$1000 [US$15] for men. Have we seen anything like this before? That’s an incredible value! Gee, I wish some of the other inclusive parties would follow suit! Of course, its not ultra or even super inclusive…but hey I’m cool with some white rum berry busters and some finger food, great way to kick off the season and warm up for parties to follow on Saturday and Sunday.

A few people have asked me how they should dress for this event. Of course, the organisers would love if you actually came out in your retro gear…but really, its not that serious. For this party, come out in your most comfortable party attire. No need to pull out the big guns of a cocktail dress and "fry-dried" hair and gentlemen, put the blazers back in the closet. This is a party where we’re actually gonna "galang bad" [i.e. behave badly] kick up a storm and get all bodied as Beyonce would say. Personally, I know I’ll be in a cute top, some jeans cut-offs and definitely some wedges or flats. Of course, its a retro house party so you’ll be uber-cute in something vintage, here’s a set I did that includes a fabulous red and black swing dress, a black and white baby-doll, a high neck ruffled blouse, purple suede skirt and slouchy sweater that wud be tres-chic with tights and leg warmers…can you see me channelling fame? "Fame! I wanna live forever!"

You can check here for a post on retro dancehall fashions . There’s also a post on swing jackets , one on shift dresses and I did find some polka dot shoes here , so there’s plenty of inspiration to get your vintage juices flowing. See you there tonight!
