Macy Grey Performs at the Chef Dance Pre-Oscars Party

On Friday night February 22nd I got started celebrating the Oscars early this year at the ChefDance Pre-Oscars party held at a beautiful private mansion in the Hollywood Hills. My best blogger gal Shauna of Skin by Shauna attended the event with me and we had a great time enjoying the party and food and of course the fashions!

The party kicked off with some amazing appetizers including mini sliders, shrimp skewers, crab cakes and much more! We enjoyed mingling and trying out all the delicious snacks out on the patio of the mansion. It was decorated with lights and music and the courtyard was the perfect place to start the intimate get together.

We explored the house finding some great photo ops for our OOTN pics and had fun with the selfie stations they had set up at the party! Check out all the fun below!

Then we enjoyed the main course which was served buffet style in the dining room. The food was amazing and all the guests gave rave reviews but on a side note, look at this kitchen you guys!

Wow talk about goals. Some of my favorite dishes were the pasta, wild rice, and grilled chicken and steak. I enjoyed watching all the guests arrive dressed up in the latest fashions for the occasion. Slip dresses and nude heels were definitely trending at this event.

After hanging out and exploring the house and beautiful patio we were invited down to the poolhouse for an intimate performance by Grammy winner Macy Grey. The host told us that he had this space designed specifically for entertaining and we were the first to christen the area with this party! It was designed like a jazz club with small tables, mood lighting, and a stage at the front. Macy grey gave an amazing performance and even commented on the space saying, "Everybody, he took this room and made it into a club for us. That's how you know you have too much money that's when you know you're doing alright!" Everyone laughed.

She sang some of her top hits like "I try" and other throwback favorites and the whole crowd sang along. It was definitely a special experience and a great way to kick off oscars weekend! Stay tuned for more Oscars coverage here on the blog!
