Hotel Chocolat, another great Hello Stiletto Shoe Club event. Boston, MA

Are you and your girlfriends looking for reasons to dress up?  Well, besides going out to dinner, or a show, or clubbing you could just sign up for the Hello Stiletto Shoe Club!  My first event was a couple of years back when there was a trunk show at a Neiman Marcus with a Kentucky Derby theme.

And on that note...I signed up for an event at the new Hotel Chocolat on Newbury Street, this past Saturday, this is the chocolate stores first U.S. location.  As I walked in, there was a tray of chocolates shaped into ghoulish treats, from sculls to tombstones, and the champagne and wines from Barefoot wines began flowing.

Towards the back, in the tasting room, there were some designer handbags from Genevieve designs which were exclusively made.

As the store filled up with more and more people wearing their finest fall heels, Melissa, the founder of the shoe club, invited everyone who was willing to take part in the pink carpet walk off.  Jennifer, the handbag designer, along with Vickie, the CEO of Hotel Chocolat, were the judges.  The runners up and winner were presented with different chocolates.

All in all it was a perfect event on a very rainy Saturday night in Boston.  I may not have walked away a winner but I walked away being happy that I went out by myself and had a great time sipping champagne and eating fine chocolates.

So...let's review...
1. Please consider signing up for the Hello Stiletto Shoe Club.  There are branches in various cities across the country and it is a great way to finally wear those shoes you keep in a box for special occassions
2. If you are in London, St. Lucia, or Boston and are looking for some great chocolate gifts, I would have to say that Hotel Chocolat is the way to go.

Until the next review!
