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.
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.
Now, something just for you!
What better way to spend some post-christmas downtime than to treat yourself to a little bit of luxury?
Curl up with a glass (or mug) of your favourite drink, and enjoy browsing online planning how to spend your £200 prize!

DeleteAllie Street post worldwide and it works out about £250 dollars... doesn't it??
Thank you for your kind words and best of luck to you!! XXX
I have a rather glam 40th birthday party to go to in February. A dress from Alie Street would be just perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect Jane! A glam 40th sounds like LOTS of fun. We certainly know how to party as we get older! I wish you the best of luck. XXX
DeleteA party - we have a big anniversary coming in February so this dress would be perfect
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Janice and Good Luck to you!! XXX
DeleteWow, 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!

It was Jess! We all had such a great time and it was lovely to see so many gowns and cocktail dresses. I hope you entered the giveaway and wish you lots of luck!! XXX
DeleteThis dress looks awesome on you! The color is perfect for your skin!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole! I hope you entered the giveaway and wish you the best of luck!! XXX
DeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteMe neither Anne. :o)
DeleteThere are not too many events that require such a gown...slightly OTT for walking the dog maybe?!
If you win you can take your pick of styles that suit you, and your lifestyle... a dress that make you feel good.
I wish you the best of luck! XXX
Real head turner! The hair ornament is gorgeous too.

Utterly stunning. That dress is perfect on you - shape, colours everything. The back was a surprise, but just wonderful. I hope you were the star of the show! Happy Christmas and thanks for so much inspiration in the past year! Kx
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words K! What style would you chose if you win? Merry Christmas to you and best of luck!! XXX
DeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
I was feeling very 1930's inspired, Porcelina. I'm so glad you picked up on that too :o)
DeleteThat emily dress is gorgeous! So chic and easy to style up to make it your own.
Wishing you the best of luck!
