Tastemaker-Approved Guide to a Chic Night In

We all want to impress when we host, especially for the guests nearest and dearest to us: our girlfriends. If you need some girls’ night inspiration, look no further than Miami-based influencer Farah Vargas, who hosted an opulent night with her friends. I had serious FOMO as I double-tapped her snaps from the evening, which included everything from paint and sip to immaculate red outfits.

It got me thinking: What was her inspiration? No surprise, it was Carolina Herrera’s Very Good Girl Elixir ($175). A spritz of the bold fruity-floral blend sets the vibe for any memorable evening—especially a lavish girls’ night. “This is the fragrance I reach for when I want to feel like that girl,” Farah says.

The evening began with a paint and sip, using the Very Good Girl Elixir as a muse, and then they crafted some bag charms and key chains. The group concluded the night with popcorn and a movie. And as with any girls’ night, they had conversations on everything from beauty tips to life advice. Inspired to host your own chic girls’ night in?
