Formal Fever

It's almost that time of year, the work Christmas parties are fast approaching, school formals are on the horizon and you have a summer party you want to look SMOKING for! With all that in mind I've been shopping for you. Tomorrow I'm going to share with you my top dress picks from Top Ryde City that will make you stand out at any special night you have coming up!

If you visit the centre anytime soon you'll see the new campaign photos. The first to be released is all about formal wear.

I chose a long evening gown for the Top Ryde City campaign from boutique store Dollhouse. It's a stunning backless number that is all about BLING! What I love the most about this dress is the pastel yellow. Pastels are very on trend right now, it's all about soft feminine colour palettes.

Here are some tips for formal wear shopping:
+ Formal dresses can be more cocktail style these days, (don't be scared) it just depends on how you accessorise the look.
+ Don't be afraid of a bit of bling, it's your night to sparkle.
+ Backless is the new cleavage (but always leave something to the imagination)
+ Always take a friend shopping with you, it's best to get the opinion of someone you trust.
+ Splurge on a dress and save on accessories and shoes. Some trendy options at Top Ryde City are Betts shoes, Novo shoes and Sportsgirl. They are filled with options to complete a great formal look that will not break the piggy bank.
+ Getting your makeup done can be cost effective! Head to Napoleon Perdis at Top Ryde City for a makeover and redeem what you spend in products.

I'm really looking forward to sharing tomorrow's post with you. I'll give you a hint, I may have gone on a shopping spree at The Dollhouse... (they have the best dresses!)
