Fashion Aid Gala

by cecylia on October 1, 2010

About 3 months ago we bought tickets to the most-anticipated fashion event of the year. We got a table of 10 and counted the days to the Fashion Aid Gala.

Up until a week before hand I still didn’t know what I was going to wear…When the new Alldressedup pieces came in, my heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw the beautiful purple silk halter dress. But I knew I woudn’t be able to pull it off. Just as well, one of our VIP customers came and bought the dress I adore and wore it to the Gala with us!

Lisha: Alldressedup silk dress, House of Harlow ring, Tony Bianco hels

I knew everyone would be wearing dresses (ladies,that is), so it became obvious that I just had to wear my vintage fuschia jumpsuit. I got it from Retro Star a year ago and never had a chance to wear it! So I debuted it with vintage YSL gold earrings, Alldressedup bow belt, my favourite Aris Geldis Paris bracelet and super tall but super-comfortable Lanvin pumps from Christine. I cannot believe how comfortable my outfit was as I danced all night and ate almost 4 courses (I ate 2 mains!). Each course was designed by the head chef of great restaurants- think The Press Club, Maha and The Lanvin heels proved to be a success, they lasted all night and didn’t cause my feet any grief.

Chian, my husband is wearing one of Roger’s creations from his label THYVANE as his tie and handkerchief.

I worked as a vet in the morning, then at the boutique and after my hair-curling appointment, I only had 10 minutes to get ready so after I finally settled with these accessories, being completely absent-minded, I left the boutique without my tickets and my camera and forgot to put makeup on. So all the photos are curtesy of Jess’ camera! Merci beaucoup ma cherie!

Jess from whatwouldkarldo, is wearing this amazing cage dress from Asos, Chanel necklace, Prada pumps and Chanel clutch.
