During the weekend, Hubby and I attended an early Christmas party at Embassy. The theme of the evening was Red Carpet Glam and I thought of wearing something that showed my Fascination with 1940's retro-Cinema style.
I had a dress in mind but my trusty dressmaker's secretary told me that they are finishing 3 batches of wedding entourage gowns for December and could not accommodate my immediate need -- (so partly my fault because I called in 1.5 weeks before the event teehee..).
So it took me 3 shopping days to finally settle for this purple dress ( I wanted something midnight-blue toned but could not find any or tan-toned but I figured it did not suit my uber pale skin tone), I wanted to wear booties with this one... but my current pair was just too casual for the dress... and it was quite close to impossible to find one (Manila is not a shoe mecca) in a few days time, so I settled for the nicest pair that caught my eye -- and got it for about $20 only!
And then added a satin band which came with another dress.... and paired them all up with my DIYed lace fingerless gloves and my trusty Chanel bag who has been my 'special occasion staple' for almost a year already.
Hubby would kid me by mentioning that I reminded him of Dita Von Teese sans the Red lipstick... he must be blind! For starters... she has a waist and a body at that! While I.... err.... I... uhmm nevermind!
Here is one favorite picture with our stylish buddies... the early bird with us latecomers (it took us ages to get there... the traffic jams in Manila double-up each time it's Christmas season).
That's me with Zara-clad-hubby hamming it up for the camera!

I love the dress!! I was once looking for a black dress and I came across one that is almost identical, it was from Mango, and in black, When I came out of the dressing room, my boyfriend's jaw literally dropped to the floor and he couldnt stop grinning like an idiot. Needless to say, for a debut, it was a tad too much. But wowza, you make it work. =) You look amazing!
love the bag and you look very glam.
