All Saints Draped Silk Dress / Topshop Studded Leather Belt / Bracher Emden for Jean-Pierre Braganza ‘Geo’ Clutch * / ASOS Studded Bangle / Angie Gooderham Chunky Bangle / Topshop Strappy Chain Wedges
On Wednesday we were invited to co-host the Nelly & Fashiolista ‘High Heels’ event in Nottingham at Coco Tang. I don’t get to attend as many events as I’d like to, living a little way from London & being unable to drive makes it sort of awkward, so I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to go along to one so close by!
We decided to shoot some outfit photos before we left for the party & it was a good job we did, as again, I barely got to take any during the actual night! We didn’t really have the time to & I always feel super awkward having outfit photos taken when there’s a whole room full of people! Does anyone else find that cringey or is it something I should just get over?
Before & After (+ Slim fit velour One-Piece)!
As with the last party Nelly threw, it was a seriously fun night & the guests were spoiled with yet more free shoes, goodie bags & competitions galore! Personally, I had my eye on the platforms with the ombre heel in red & also the black version, though predictably, I loved all of the spiked & studded styles too!
My task for the night was to judge the shoe design competitions, anyone who knows me will know this is one of the worst things you could ask me to do, I am so indecisive & I felt so mean picking only one favourite, they were all so good! I was also in charge of the One-Piece competition, getting the girls to dress up in a One-Piece & do silly poses for the photographer for the chance to win one themselves! Not wanting to miss out, I pulled one over my own outfit & wore it for almost the entire night! The guys at Fashiolista were even kind enough to let me take home the one I was wearing, though to be honest I don’t think I’d want it back after it’d been worn all night if I were them either!
We had a great night talking to all the girls, trying to decide which pair of heels we liked best & laughing about how silly I looked in my dress & heels + the One-Piece! And I got to meet the lovely Aisling too, who also came along to help! I won’t lie, I’m probably enjoying the comfort of the One-Piece a little too much… It’s not really my thing at all, but I think I’ve been seduced by it’s snugglyness, I’ve barely taken it off since!

You look gorgeous, I love your dress! What a fun event…shoes and onesies? Best night everrrrr! xxx
Xixia says
Ah, I’ve never worn a onesie before, but looking at them now, they just look too soft and comfy to not try it! This event looks awesome, and I especially love those star-print black pumps. Your outfit is beautiful – I really like the draped style. And I completely understand about taking pictures in a room of people. I’m pretty shy about pictures taken of me (and just me) overall, so I don’t think I could ever have the courage to do that. XD

Haha! Exactly! At first I was a little skeptical, I thought they were pretty unattractive & then I tried it on & didn’t want to take it off again! :D
I loved the star ones too, but they were satin & I have a bad track record for ruining satin covered shoes! I know exactly what you mean, I am super camera shy too (thats why all my outfits are in deserted areas!) luckily my boyfriend is pretty patient with me! :)

Spectacular dress! You look amazing!
The night sounds fun…I try to get out to things like this but they never work with my job!
Berty Morales says

heather says
OOO what a fun event! Congrats on co-hosting it! I’m the same way WAY to indecisive. But I must say I love those Iceberg shoes. I’m a huge fan of star prints. :) Lovely photos. And of course I love your shoes too!

I love the taupe heels that you had on. Taupe is pretty much my favorite *color*. I agree about posing at events. It feels a bit awkward and silly, so candid shots are usually easier to work with. Anyway, you look great!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving the lovely comments. It’s nice to come across another star gazer <3

Ha ha! The one-pieces are kind of awesome. Makes me want to have a slumber party in the living room with my cousins like I used to when we were kids. :)

Too bad we don’t live in the same city, I think we would get along famously. Love this outfit, you got style, plus your artistic eye is so refreshing. xx
FAIIINT says
Aw, thankyou & I totally agree! That’s the only downside of blogging, I get to ‘meet’ all these awesome, similarly minded people & yet we all live so far away! If I’m ever in Cali I shall let you know! :)

I used to be shy taking photos at events, but after working for five years in the Malaysian media industry where going out and getting photographed every weekend is pretty much a prerequisite, I’ve gotten over it! Asians love taking photos in public, and taking pictures of food in public (I’ve seen the Tumblrs dedicated to these too!) which I find hilarious but I’m guilty of that now so I won’t be too hypocritical haha :)
I’m inspired to try a onesie after seeing how much fun they look — I wonder if I can pull it off!
PS. Love your taupe heels, the chain detail is <3

It looks like you were the perfect host for the event! Really like your outfit, very sleek look, and the best part are the taupe sandals, I found this shade so chic!
