Cupcakes for a cause

Meet Mia. Not only is she one of the best mates a girl could ask for, but she’s also a stunner (as you can see). So it’s quite fitting that she has been selected as a State finalist for the Miss World Australia comp. Finalists are encouraged to fundraise for some selected charities, so Mia recently hosted an afternoon tea which was absolutely gorgeous! I managed to pop in for a short while at the beginning, finding myself walk into food heaven. Her great thought and effort was clearly evident, with tables filled with delicious baked delights available to enjoy in the lovely afternoon sunshine with a nice cup of tea. Bliss.

Her parents are SO lovely… and fun :)

 

Love this girl xx

Ideas board: STYLEAID 2013

STYLEAID is a major fundraising event on Perth’s social calendar. Held annually, the event showcases outstanding designs in a beautiful runway show and provides a specialty three-course dinner with drinks, really great entertainment – all for a GREAT cause! I went two years ago and enjoyed myself so much! Admittedly I may have enjoyed the free flowing champagne a bit too much (aim this year – actually make it to the after party).

Each year is themed and this year’s is just so relevant to the digital age that we’re in: CONNECT. Dress code? Black-tie. Black and white. With a hint of red. Love it.

The possibilities are endless and the ideas are flowing! I’ve made a few ideas boards that are all quite different. Which one do you love?

Romance at the Dance

Free People maxi dress, Guiseppe Zanotti heels

Bare minimum

Alice & Olivia dress, Charlotte Olympia shoes, Valentino Garavani clutch, NARS lipstick

The following look is the one I’m leaning towards. Just because there’s a dress code it doesn’t mean you should confine your personal style and I want my style to shine through! I’ve already ordered a red floral crown off eBay and am hoping to find a beautiful white dress when scouring boutiques in QLD in two weeks.

Boho of the Ball

Asos dress, Rock N Rose floral crown, LB2 clutch, Saint Laurent shoes

Fitted and fabulous

Marchesa dress, Christian Louboutin pumps, Mimco clutch, Kenneth Jay Lane ring

Lavish lover

Polly dress, Giuseppe Zanotti heels, Zara clutch, Chanel polish

Which look do you love?
