One of the highlights of the winter social calendar is, without doubt, The New York Botanical Garden<\/a>\u2019s Winter Wonderland Ball. The Ball serves as an exclusive chance for the Garden\u2019s Junior Patrons<\/a> to enjoy the magic of the Holiday Train Show<\/em><\/a> as well as cocktails, dinner, and dancing.<\/p>\n

But what to wear when the invitation suggests \u201cWinter white, and black, black tie\u201d? We asked fashion designer and member of the Ball\u2019s Benefit Committee Chris Benz<\/a> what he thinks ladies should wear to this most festive event.<\/p>\n

I think the Winter Wonderland Ball is the perfect moment to dress up in full holiday glamour Think white, silver, texture, glitter and luxury It’s also a great time to play with accessories A little bit of dramatic sparkle
\nand shine go a long way! <\/strong><\/p>\n

The look at the right from Benz’s 2011 Resort Collection is a perfect example of this luxe look, and it looks perfectly delightful to us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
