A night out with Mina Deutsch of Mina D Jewelry in Red Bank NJ

Thursday night August 18th, the sun was setting overlooking the beautiful wharf at Red Bank, NJ.

Food was being enjoyed, drinks and conversations were flowing.

I experienced my first speed networking event, and it was a lot of fun. Christen and Morgan the founders of Driven Women Jersey Shore made everyone feels at ease, and made the event flow smoothly.

Its my second event with this group, and each one is more enjoyable.

Meeting other woman, career woman, entrepreneurs is a great way to connect to make lasting friendships and possible business connections or collaborations.

Its so important to take that step and network as a business owner and this was very enjoyable.

The Red Bank Tap and Grill has a wonderful rooftop area that was reserved for Driven Women Jersey Shore networking event, we got to see the sunset over the water, and you have a view of Red Bank shopping area below.

It was so wonderful to see people out and about on a gorgeous thursday, summer night.

To top it off, there was a live band, playing fun tunes, so of course on my way out, I stopped for a while to listen and move to the music.

I was wearing a BCBG maxi dress, and a favorite pair of Cordani wedge sandals, which make standing effortless.

I donned an exquisite Onyx and pearl lariat from my Black & White Collection, with a multi row statement bracelet also in Onyx and Pearl to complete my nighttime look.

It was a great way to end a stressful week, I am looking forward to the next event they have coming up next month.
