No trip to New York City is complete with out a stop at Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater! For nearly 80 years, it has served as the launching pad for some of our nation’s most popular entertainers – from James Brown and Billie Holiday to Ella Fitzgerald and The Jackson Five. Still widely recognized as “the soul of American culture”, it’s a showplace dedicated to the dreamer in us all. Grab your dancing shoes and your singing voice, hop the uptown train, and let’s take a ride to the place “where stars are born and legends are made”. In the hottest night-out gear around, of course. 

No matter if you're on a first date or spending an evening with a long time love – it’s always important to bring your best self to a night out – especially with Valentine's Day coming up! Here, my ‘rules’ to highlighting all your amazing qualities (and curves, duh!) for a classy – not trashy – night on the town with your true love. 

Perfectly polished and approachable in every way, it’s pretty hard not to love Linda Lee.

Even better, she loves every single minute of it.
