The other day my Dad, Mum and I got invited to the Rotary ball at the Celtic Manor
I found myself hopping onto the train home on Friday night so that I could run around like a headless chicken on the Saturday morning trying to find something appropriate to wear that evening
After much thought and consideration I thought I would push the boat out wear something a little different to usual
Have you ever wondered what its like to wear a Tuxedo, well I have and I got to experience it first hand
Rather than standing at home sorting out the hem of my dress and alining the straps, I was instead having a massive argument with my Bow Tie, wondering why the heck guys put up with this, and trying to figure out the over and under, back and behind or something like that technique to tie this dam thing
I decided to wear;
Suit Jacket: Ralph Lauren
Suit Trousers: Karen Millen
Shoes: Diane Von Furstenberg
Bow Tie: Dolce & Gabbana
Shirt: Burberry
Handbag: Anya Hindmarch
Dad and I both retreated from our bedrooms after getting ready looking like twiddle dumb and twiddle de
I was of course Twiddle De!
Of course I would never look as clean cut and polished as my Father as I have never had the ability to not look like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards
We hopped in a car to take us down to the Celtic Manor all dressed to the nines ready and excited for an evening catching up with old friends
Upon arrival we were met with Champagne, I mean who am I to turn down such an offer
We made our way through the groups of friends, catching up on long lost gossip as I haven't been around for a catch up in what seem like forever
I was of course the Camera nerd for the evening, I just can't go anywhere without it, I can't help it
So as soon as we stepped foot into the hotel until we stepped foot out my camera was clicking away, one day they will thank me for this I am sure
We grabbed a seat at our table with a few others and was able to have a flick through the auction lots available that evening as well as take photo's in my case of the Autumn leaves on the table hence the Autumn theme
Arn't the colours just amazing, Gosh I am so easily entertained
The evening whizzed past pretty quickly, with food being served, champagne constantly coming and my dancing shoes ready to bust a few moves here and there
As you can tell no photo's were taken after about an hour into the event, as the rounds of drinks were coming to quickly and my need to dance along like a wailing fairy to classic hits was far to important
Gosh I wouldn't be very good as a professional photographer would I now, all I need to see is food in the distance or hear some great sing along tunes and I would be a goner
The evening was a great success with hundreds of pounds raised to go towards some much needed charities
Anyway enough from me, I need to catch up on some sleep as I have an exciting night to look forward to this evening
How was your Saturday night?
