International Giveaway! | £200 to Spend at Alie Street, London

Alie Street London | £200 Giveaway | What to wear to a Black Tie Event.

I am so excited to be able to offer you the chance to win a fantastic £200 to spend at Alie Street, London.

In their own words...
"At Alie Street we give you the opportunity to feel beautiful, special, confident and glamorous in impeccably made dresses, whatever the occasion. Pieces draw on wearable luxury and simple elegance with a focus on style and fit. "
After the girls at Alie street kindly sent me this beautiful dress (which is now on sale, here) I was keen to give you the opportunity to choose something from the brand for yourself.

I was delighted when they agreed to offer one lucky winner £200 to spend.

There are so many beautiful (UK made) dresses to choose from there is sure to be something that you love.
They even have a fit guide to help you choose a style to suit your shape.

Alie Street London | £200 Giveaway | What to wear to a Black Tie Event.

I had an important black tie party to attend at the weekend, and this dress was absolutely perfect.
It was a private party, so unfortunately I can't share any photographs with you, but I can tell you that we all had a wonderful time.
The ladies were beautiful, and the gents were looking so handsome.
I love the look of a tuxedo (or a kilt) on a man!

We drank Champagne and Christmas Cosmopolitans.

{The Cosmos were my friend's invention, involving cinnamon vodka and satsuma juice... so good.}

The buffet was a feast for the eyes, and the tables were heaving with wonderful treats. If you can imagine it then it was probably there!
The baked camembert was my favourite.
Very messy, but utterly delicious.

What's your favourite party drink/nibble?

What ever happened to partying all night then being fresh-as-a-daisy the next morning?
Those days are long gone.
I spent most of Sunday looking (and feeling) like a burst ball.
Curled up in fluffy leggings, sheepskin boots and an oversized jumper... not so glamorous.
Funnily enough, I have no photographs of my post-party attire!

This beautiful occasion dress has so many pretty shades within its pattern that I was spoilt for choice when it came to accessorising.

I had bits and bobs laid all over my bed.
Shoes, earrings, bags... decisions decisions.

{My husband rolls his eyes at this point, and leaves me to it!}

In the end I decided to wear this fun peacock feather hair accessory, and pull the peacock blue from within the design using a satin sash.

{Please excuse my goose-bumps in the photo above... I was smiling through the freezing cold!}

The hair clip was a surprise gift from a friend.
She knew I was going to a party and thought this would be "just the thing".
She was right!

Purple peep toe shoes (that I found in a charity shop) and my faithful box clutch completed my look.

That is the beauty of an elegant floor-length gown.
So simple to style.
So easy to wear.

  1. This dress is stunning Samantha!! And, of course, I'd wear it to a gala or dressy event. But you know me and my blog---I'd take the challenge to see how I could wear it for casual times too!! Maybe a jean jacket over it?
    I'm glad you had fun at the party!
    Merry Christmas to you & your family!!

  4. Wow, these colors are so vibrant on you! love them with your red hair too. So funny as I was just looking at peacock feather pins for my hair yesterday on Etsy as I wore a peacock vintage comb as well the other day. The magenta shoes go so lovely with the colors in the dress too. Sounds like a fun party!

  6. What a gorgeous dress, and made in Britain too! The colors are amazing on you. I am enjoying the website now that you have pointed me in their direction, I am loving the more casual dresses as partywear in my life is not usually full length gowns.

  9. You look so gorgeous! What a dress. I love how you've styled it with a vintage twist, it looks quite 1930s with the fur cape and your short hair.

    If I won, I'd invest in some daywear, as I already have far too much evening wear and not enough glamorous events to attend! Perhaps this Emily dress: http://www.aliestreet.com/uk/occasionwear/item/ASESDDU/Emily-Shift-Day-Dress-Deep-Ultramarine.html

    Wishing you a lovely festive season.
