Want to win a free pair of tickets to tonight’s Eat, Drink & Be Pretty party at the Scottsdale Culinary Festival? Of course you do!

The party is one of my favorite events of the year (and of the festival itself) and full of food, fashion and fun. You’ll be treated to eats, treats and sips from more than 20 of the Valley’s best restaurants, live music, entertainment and a spring fashion show featuring jewelry from Issac Jewelers and hair styled by Rolf’s Hair Salon and Spa. 

To enter, simply:

1. “Like” Rolf’s Salon on Facebook

2. “Like” StyleSizzle on Facebook

3. Leave a comment below and tell me, what are you planning on wearing to the party tonight?

If you’re not sure about your outfit, check out my ultimate style guide to the Scottsdale Culinary Festival. 

Sweepstakes ends at 5pm MT, April 20, 2012. Good luck!

Update: Congratulations to Scott M. Long, you were the winner! Enjoy the event today and thanks to everyone who entered!

It’s time. Scottsdale Culinary Festival week is here! If you haven’t gone to any of the events thus far (shame on you) this weekend promises all the food and fun of year’s past. And I’m excited. Check out the lineup on all of the events, starting tonight, and your what to wear style guide.

If you are in a relationship, tonight may be a battle of where to go. The gents most certainly will want to catch the Burger Battle at Scottsdale Stadium where yes, 15 chefs will battle it out to see who grills the tastiest burger. I have my sights set on the Bubbles & Bliss soiree at The Saguaro, an “effervescent champagne experience” of bubbly-infused food and cocktails.

What to Wear: Why not channel the bubbly vibe with a Champagne-colored cocktail dress? It’s Thursday evening, after all, and a chic soiree such as this demands chic attire.

Friday evening is my favorite event of the Scottsdale Culinary Festival: Eat, Drink & Be Pretty. Why? Because this is not for the fashion faint of heart and there’s plenty of fabulous food and drinks to be had, too. This year, there’s more than 20 Valley restaurants to sample plus a spring fashion show with hair styled by none other than local Valley favorite, Rolf’s Salon. This is one event not to be missed!

What to Wear: A fabulous cocktail dress to go with your fabulous cocktail. Bring it.

Scottsdale Culinary Festival is probably known best for the weekend events, The Great Arizona Picnic. This year, Food TV buffs won’t want to miss special appearances by Adam Richman of Man vs. Food and Andrew Zimmerman of Bizzare Foods.

What to Wear: Ladies, please pay attention—this is not W Scottsdale on a Saturday night! Think: Picnic Pretty and all that that includes. Cute shorts, skirts and sundresses with pretty sandals or sky-high wedges are fair game. It’s going to be 100 degrees this weekend so show up in jeans at your own risk. The event is outside so please, by all means, leave the stilletos and cocktail dresses at home. If you’re craving style, bring your big shades and a glamorous hat!

Tibi ruffled silk-crepe top, Michael Kors stretch cotton shorts, Marcus Lupfer striped cotton shorts, Lanvin wide brim hat, Valentino studded leather wedge cage sandals   

Are you going to any of the Scottsdale Culinary events this weekend??

Like it or not, swimsuit season is here.

That means doing whatever you need to do for that perfect spring break body and stocking up on some swim essentials for poolside glamour! Last year, I rounded up some of Arizona’s top swimsuit stores. This year, I’m excited to hear Everything But Water is opening up a location at Kierland Commons. Of course, this means a fabulous fête is involved with cool giveaways.

It’s a fun way to spend some of your Saturday afternoon, don’t ya think? Will you be stopping by?
