Ball Season Is Coming…

Angela Stone • May 21, 2015

Remember your High School ball? It’s a very special time. There’s also a lot of pressure when trying to find the perfect dress. This is a night they will remember for the rest of their life, making memories with friends and getting dressed up to the nines! I have trawled through some of my favourite stores to bring you a range of fabulous dresses. Take a look below for some inspiration!

(Like a dress below? Click on the picture to be taken through to the listing on each online store)

Sheike

The first peach maxi dress has a deep v neckline with a half peplum waist and trumpet skirt. The middle emerald midi dress has ruching and drapery that is so flattering on an O shape. The last dress would be great on an hourglass figure, and is an elegant, flirty style with a touch of sheer fabric. Sheike is also really affordable for the quality of their garments. They are an Australian store but ship to NZ.

Forever New

Forever New is a great store in NZ with beautiful dresses made in a range of colours and fabrics. You will find their colour choices are very seasonal so people who suit the Winter seasonal colours will find great pieces here now. The first dress is a very modern take on a ball dress with the lace work creating shape. The other two dresses are cut beautifully and the cut that you decide upon will depend on what works best for your body shape. The range of dresses here are a little higher but they have great discounts on sale items so it is worth a look!

Ruby

Ruby Boutique is a popular designer label, especially for younger women. They create stunning gowns every season, and this Winter is no exception. While they come with a higher price tag, the gorgeous fabrics and design details help explain why! These two gowns are so elegant and would make any girl feel absolutely beautiful!

Moochi

Moochi is similar to Ruby but steps up another price bracket. These dresses are definitely for the modern girl who loves simplicity and luxurious fabrics. The great thing about opting for a more muted dress with design detail, is you can have fun with your shoes and makeup!

Well I hope you have enjoyed this post today! If you have a teenage daughter, make sure to show her some ideas and remember I am always here to help! You can book in for a free 20 minute consultation any time.

May Newsletter 2023

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course . It’s a fun, 2-day event with like-minded women that will renew your confidence in yourself and teach you the fashion fundamentals. Secure your spot here .
