After a long week of deadlines, reports, meetings, and other work-related concerns, it's time to let loose and unwind. And of course, a surefire way to make the weekend memorable is gathering your friends for a wild night on the town!

While the actual event may be what we look forward to the most, we also have to admit that the pre-party preparation is just as fun. We love getting dolled up, so what's a better excuse to get decked out in our hottest outfits than a kicking bash?

Need some sartorial inspiration? Check out our snaps from the opening of Velvet, Jing Monis' newest salon at Maxims, Resorts World Manila; The Belvedere Beat Presents CMG & Traffic event at Opus, Resorts World Manila; and the Laura Mercier Fall/Winter 2012 makeup collection launch at Prive Luxury Club, the Fort to see what Raya Mananquil, Phoemela Baranda, and more are wearing.
