Gossip Girl Worthy Gowns
Dress: Karen Millen - On Sale! // Clutch: Russell & Bromley c/o // Earrings: Accessorize - LOVE These c/o // Cuff: Karen Millen
In my books any dress which makes you feel an iota like you should be on a Gossip Girl set is hitting the jackpot BIG time. This Karen Millen gown (on sale!) was a last minute find for a ball I attended with friends last weekend. The shape sits tight to the body, and nips in and out in all the right places. The hot orange hue caught my eye immediately, and is super flattering with a gentle tan.
I've rounded up 22 (!) beautiful Gossip Girl worthy gowns for you - perfect for black tie occasions, weddings, an option for bridesmaids . . . or a date with Chuck Bass. Prices range from £45 - hover over each image for full details.

Styling Notes:
Jewellery: Recently I've come to favour a statement earring + statement cuff for an evening look. I wore this to the Opera last week too. Both of my recent occasion dresses had interesting necklines and so earrings complimented rather than detracting, however if you have a simpler canvas like this shift dress, then a larger necklace is striking. This Lulu Frost piece caught my eye recently and is currently on sale. Cuffs are a great alternative to bracelets for the evening, they create more of an impact. Accessorize, The Outnet and Bauble Bar are all amazing for occasion jewellery.
Shoes & Handbags: Black tie do's tend to come with a dancing prerequisite - YAY - and so a pair of shoes which look AND feel great is a must. I have had this pair of Zara heels for three years and still rely on them time and time again. For a clutch I have been carrying this Palermo bag from Russell & Bromley, I love the ballet pink hue. I am a HUGE fan of a clutch clash; pale dress + colour pop, LBD (long black dress) + beaded aztec, hot pink + pale grey . . . ugh I want ALL these combinations! Remember you don't need to carry a lot in your clutch, but you do need to get the essentials in, make sure you trial your bag before your event. I always carry my phone, lip balm, house keys, card and some cash.

This weekend I have one of my best friends and her boyfriend coming to stay. We lived together before Ols and I moved in and I have missed seeing each other so often! We are planning a lot of food, drinks and catchups.
Hope you guys have an awesome one too! Happy Friday peeps!!
