It’s always time to party! Every season welcomes new events to attend, more weddings to enjoy, several dinner invitations to embrace. Choosing the right dress for a party can however be a daunting task for some, especially when you consider the number of dress styles and choices available on the market in stores and online from various designers around the world.
The first factor to take into consideration is the dress code of the occasion. Next thing is your skin tone and body shape to determine the best colour and style for your party dress. Last but not least, the versatility and cost as well as how you are going to accessorise the dress need careful thought. By considering these five points, you can find the perfect dress for your party in record time.
The Look
This is one my favourite picks for cocktail dresses for this time of year. It is a pretty cocktail lace dress from Miss Selfridge in Malta. I paired it with nude shoes by Mineli and a glamorous little bag from Porto at Portomaso. For accessories, I chose to wear these gold rose earrings and matching ring also from Porto.
We shot the photos of this lovely dress in Luna Restaurant at Palazzo Parisio, known to be one of Malta’s leading destinations for fine dining both day and night. I love this place because it offers a range of delicious food and drink options – from the peaceful atmosphere of Luna by day, to the extravagant surroundings of Luna by night, this locale has become a firm favourite by both locals and travellers, for its cuisine and its fantastic service.
