XOXO Gossip Girl & a Giveaway

8th July 2014

Cotton On dress | YDE coat | Forever New tights | Woolworths heels | Mr Price shirt | Mr Price necklace
Hi everyone!  I’ve had these tights sitting in my cupboard since last year and I’ve been so excited to wear them but I haven’t done so until now.  I finally decided it was time and put them together with this outfit.  The little hearts are just so sweet.  I thought this look was something Blair from Gossip Girl might have worn and I hope I did her fictional character proud.
For all you fashion lovers out there, I have some very exciting news for you today.  Have you ever wanted to get all dressed up for a super glamorous, star studded fashion event?  Well Skip is hosting their Fashion Exchange event on 17 July 2014 to celebrate their love of fashion.  It’s going to be one of the most stylish events of the year and here’s where it this post gets exciting:  I’ve got double tickets to giveaway to 5 lucky readers!
To enter all you need to do is comment below letting me know how you follow Arum Lilea.
Please note that the event is in Johannesburg and winners must be able to arrange their own transport to the event.  The winners will be drawn next Tuesday.  If you aren’t selected as a winner, don’t be bummed.  You can buy tickets to the event here.  Good luck! xxx

    Ahh, I absolutely love that yellow lace dress with the white. That white coat needs to be in my closet like asap. Such a chic and polished look – definitely Gossip Girl inspired!

    Awh I would have loved to be able to go! You look lovely in this colour btw, I don’t really think yellow suits me…

    I had a clothing exchange party with my friends a few months ago and it was such a hit! I think it should definitely be done by everyone at lease once 🙂

    Not everyone can pull off the yellow but it looks so stunning on you! Buttoned up white collared shirt is always a win and those STOCKINGS!!!! In short- LOVE this outfit! And I’d love to see many more pretty outfits (hopefully with you) at the fashion exchange event! I dont think there is a social platform I don’t follow you on!
