Black tie with a hint of sparkle

Tonight is the glamorous Night of Lights gala ball for the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Foundation. The dress code is 'Black tie with a hint of sparkle'. At the moment I don't like to do things by halves. I saw the word sparkle and I've run with it.

I'll be wearing a blue Sherri Hill gown with jewelled bodice from After Dark boutique on Fullarton Road, and I have some amazing Rodrigo Otazu Swarovski statement jewellery to accompany it. Rodrigo Otazu has designed for Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and the Sex & The City film (to name a few) and luckily for us Adelaide girls, there are now some statement pieces stocked at Liza Emanuele Boutique on King William Road.

I've just spent ten minutes trying to figure out what shade of blue the dress is, but it's beyond me, so here's a sneak peak.

Oh, I can't forgot the shoes. Gary Castles Sydney silver stilettos from their boutique on King William Road. A very simple design to counteract the over-the-top, top half of my outfit. The perfect must-have pair of shoes, that have proven to be a very worthwhile purchase.

The next step? Hair & make up. Time to hit Andrew Elsegood Hairdresser on Goodwood Road for some pampering. I'd love to wear my hair down with some loose curls, but the necklace demands my hair to be up. Let's see who wins this battle.
I'll post some photos of the finished look later on.

Hope to see some of you at this amazing event!
