Fashion-1

Lace: If you are a girlie girl and love to look super feminine, do it in lace. Blue is also a key colour for the season and by incorporating these two looks together, you are sure to turn heads. Lace dress $280 (8-14) from Decjuba. Teardrop earrings $14.99 from Portmans. Bea suede heels $220 from Mi Piaci.

Fashion-2

Classic black: Slimming and classic, the LBD will never go out of style. You may not stand out in the crowd, but if quiet, sophisticated glamour is your thing, it’s best to opt for black. Sabine dress $139.99 (8-16) from Farmers. Ribbon cuff $24.99 from Equip. Bead clutch $59 from Max. Mini satin heels $179.90 from Overland.

Fashion-3

Long & short hems: The high-low hemline is everywhere this season. Yellow is my party colour of choice as it is fresh and fun. Sequinned dress $199 (XS-L) from Augustine International. Gem necklace $44.99 from Portmans. Box clutch $39.99 from Equip. Sharp sequinned heels $290 from Mi Paci.

Fashion-4

Pantsuit: I personally love a good pantsuit. It shows you have the confidence in your style to do something a little different. Stitch Ministry pleat blouse $79.99 (8-16) from Farmers. Embellished poppy collar $89.95, print blazer $170 (8-14), both from Decjuba. Stella Palazzo pant $12 (6-18) from Max. Reallife heels $209.90 from Overland.

Fashion-5

Maxi: Not everyone feels comfortable rocking a short cocktail dress, so if you like keeping your legs under wraps, choose a floor sweeping maxi. Bold prints are on trend and will give your dress an edge. Maxidress $139.99 (6-16) from Portmans. Dill chain bag $270 from Mi Piaci. Tona breastplate necklace $223 from Jessica Aggrey. Reallife heels $209.90 from Overland.

Fashion-6

Sequins: If you’re not into bold colours but love to shine, sequins are a dazzling option. Nude and white tones give a fresh look and allow the sparkle to do all the work. Beaded tassel camisole $199 (6 18), sequinned blazer $179 (6-18), both from Max. Sequinned skirt $89.99 (6-16), tassel necklace $34.99, both from Portmans. Zigzag bag $39.99 from Equip.

Fashion-7

Cut-out detail: It’s the finer details that make a gorgeous evening look. Wearing a block colour can look a little flat, but cut-out details add some pizzazz to your look. Cut-out dress $230 (8-14) from Decjuba. Chain pendant necklace $39 from Max.
