What I wore | Family Function

What do you wear to family functions/outings when the dress code is cocktail dress?

I always like to wear something classic, sophisticated and gorgeous!

When looking for a dress for these events, as I’ve gotten wiser, I’ve realised it’s much nicer to wear something

a) not too tight
b) the length close to knee length or longer
c) classic
d) not too revealing

Yes, I do dress for myself, but even though I like to look my best, I also like to respect people of all ages. So when it comes to family functions, I now think more about what I wear.

Who doesn’t want their Grandmothers, Aunties, Mother, Sisters, Girlfriends and little neices to like their dress? If I can make everyone happy, and feel gorgeous at the same time, why not? Be smart and sexy ladies, and you’ll be the girl all your friends and fam come to for style advice

I wore this to an event that George organised and planned, and all his friends and family attended. I had to look my best!

Playing Dress Ups

This has to be one of my favourite new aussie designers. Ronda quite successfully intertwines the masculine and feminine touches in each design. Which basically is one of the styles I most relate to. There’s something about mixing sheer lady like fabric, with pretty pastels and then BOOM metal spikes. Such a perfect cocktail of pretty & rockin’, I can’t help but want every single piece on her site, all available to buy online now on www.loversandcollaborators.com. I’ve posted about this brand a few times already here, here & here.

This outfit was borrowed from the Door 121 Showroom. I honestly cannot buy new dresses every week unfortunately, so it’s great when I get the opportunity to borrow something I absolutely love and style it my way, to give my readers some fresh inspiration. From now on though, any outfits that have been borrowed, will be mentioned at the bottom of my posts It’s all about being honest with you guys, and I’m probably a bit too honest sometimes. But it works for me!

Would love you to check out Door 121′s Chrissie Interview they did with me here which features this outfit

Ford & G-Star | Environmental Sustainability

Ford and G-Star are both brands which focus on reducing their impact on the environment. I think this is majorly important at the moment, as people are becoming more aware of our affect on the environment, and how we can minimise it. I was so pleased to learn that SO MANY sustainable materials are used in the Ford Focus. About 85 percent of the materials used on ford vehicles by weight are recyclable. I think that’s a pretty cool fact! And G-Star itself tries to cut down on the consumption of cotton, by using organic cotton and other sustainable materials.

I think it’s fantastic that these brands are taking the initiative to help our environment, and I hope that we embrace it and appreciate it.

Thanks to Ford & G-Star, and the help of Nikki the Stylist (above), I was gifted a wonderful brand new pair of G-Star Jeans which I snapped a photo of myself and posted here on Instagram. The delicious canapes were also a delight, and I can never resist a good red wine!

Check out Aprilia’s version of the night too, here! She was great company, and lots of fun. I truly enjoy events where I meet lovely people, learn about something new and leave feeling that little bit more inspired. I hope that somehow, we all become more environmentally aware, and that more and more brands become a part of this initiative.

What brands are you aware of that work towards environmental sustainability?
