CHIN CHIN
Always keep a smooth, high-quality tequila on hand, like this Ambhar Reposado Tequila ($95, 1-877-spirits.com). Try exploring its flavor by serving it straight.

URBAN AFFAIR
New Yorkers Dina and Alexandros wanted an invitation that was both chic and a bit grungy, so I made them this urban-inspired custom invitation (price upon request, cecinewyork.com) inspired in part by a graffiti-covered wall in New York’s Soho.

CHAIN REACTION
A little ritzy and a little street—this Marc by Marc Jacobs Fluoro chain-link bracelet ($98, net-a-porter.com) is perfect for a night out on the town.

Wow, what a gorgeously designed candle from D.L.&Co ($65, barneys.com)! Plus, it combines delicious notes of blackcurrant and fig.

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE
This dazzling dress from Diane Von Furstenberg (dvf.com) is my idea of a smart party frock: short, eye-catching and totally unique.

GLITTER GIRL

FEET FIRST
I’m a big fan of Cole Haan’s super-comfy Nike Air technology, which you can find in these Air Bacara Ballet flats ($99.95, colehaan.com).

IT’S IN THE BAG
Heading out to the game? It’s best to pick a no-fuss cross-body style like this Temperley London Aurora Messenger Bag ($895, shopbop.com).

NICE ’N EASY
My idea of relaxed style is jeans paired with a loose-but-stylish top, like this Diane von Furstenberg Yacia Top in Ikat Diamond ($225, dvf.com). And if you’re outdoors, it’s smart to keep a light scarf handy in case you get chilly. A great suggestion: Virginia Johnson’s lightweight merino wool shawl ($195, virginiajohnson.com).

THE EYES HAVE IT
I’m convinced Chanel makes the best sunglasses – they keep the sun out while still offering serious glamour (style 5183, $270; chanel.com for stores).

FEEL THE MUSIC
I love Lady Gaga’s sense of individualism, plus her music is always fun. Put her music on pre- or post-game to get the party started (Lady Gaga The Remix, $11.98; ladygaga.com) with Philips’s Fidelio DS7550 Portable Speaker Dock ($130, apple.com). It’s compact and portable, with a long-lasting rechargeable battery that’s great for tailgating or outdoor get-togethers.

BUBBLING UP
