Girls on Dresses: Olivia Phillips from mynewfavouritething.com on Cocktail and Designer Dresses

 

Olivia Phillips of mynewfavouritething.com gives us an insight into the past, present and future designer dresses she’s crazy about.  Here we take a peek into the wardrobe of this London fashionista to find out all about her favourite things…

 

Your first ever dress was:

A Kermit-green number covered in giant hot pink polka dots that came with a little matching jacket. Ah, the 80s. I think it must’ve cost a fortune as one of my earliest memories was my Dad manically scrubbing pen marks out of it in a desperate bid for my mum not to find out.

 

Your oldest dress:

A tailored grey wool-silk pencil dress with bra straps from Joseph that my mum bought me when I was 14. I’m pretty chuffed that I can still fit into it. Just. The wonder of Spanx, eh?

 

Your most expensive dress:

A white ruffled Temperley cocktail dress. It has tiered scalloped edging and plaited straps – it’s utterly beautiful!

 

Seen the most dancefloors:

A scandalously tight bright purple bandage dress from Reiss.

 

Favourite dress:

My silk-jersey Elizabeth and James LBD. It’s 4 dresses in one, really – you can wear it sleeveless, strapless, asymmetric or off-the-shoulder and every which way it looks amazing. I’ve had it mistaken for Lanvin, too which can never be a bad thing!

 

What was the last event you wore a dress to and what did you wear?

My birthday! I wore a bright orange draped H&M number that looks straight out of Studio 54. I paired it with sky-high leopard-print platforms and too much gold jewellery. And I wore it in the daytime, too. Well, if you can’t overdress on your birthday, when can you?

Mini or Maxi?

I love mini dresses but don’t like my legs so I wear maxis quite a lot. I like the sense of drama they create, too. Rachel Zoe can rock a maxi like noone else.

 

Who are your red carpet idols?

Ashley Olsen, Diane Kruger, Eva Mendes, SJP. None of them are afraid to experiment and they also all know what suits them and what will photograph well.

 

Who always gets it right?

Very few people! Christine Centenera and Miroslava Duma are two of my ultimates – can’t hurt that they’re both fashion editors!

 

What is your most memorable dress moment?

Probably my cousin’s wedding when I was maid of honour. I know the day was all about her, but I still felt like a princess walking down the aisle after her in my floor-sweeping cobalt Tibi gown and red Louboutins.

 

Which dress would be top of your Girl Meets Dress lust list?

There are so many! It’s a tie between the sapphire Gorgeous Couture Harlow maxi and the Alice + Olivia blush mini wrap Goddess dress. I think I could get into a whole world of trouble in either. In a good way, of course.

 

 

As someone who always has a new event to attend – how would Girl Meets Dress complement your life?

I’m so fickle, get bored of trends so easily, am constantly on the hunt for the next thing – it’s part of the reason I called my blog My New Favourite Thing. A service like GMD instantly solves all my bratty problems – ingenious!

 


Rent Butter by Nadia to be the Queen of the Dance Floor

We couldn’t be more excited by Brooklyn based designer Nadia Tarr.  Since 2002, her one-size-fits all designer dresses mean that we can all share in the glory of Tarr’s unique designs.  Labelled Butter by Nadia due to the softness of her pieces in luxurious satin and jersey fabrics, these designer dresses not only look amazing but they are fabulously comfortable to wear!  Created in two different lengths-floor length or short, choose from a multitude of sensational colours including eggplant, amethyst and sapphire to name but a few.   What’s more, the most exciting feature of these designer dresses is that they can be worn in a number of different ways in order to fashion an endless array of looks from strapless to backless.  Designed with extra long straps, you can wrap your designer dress into twenty different possibilities!  We are not surprised these dresses have been labelled a miracle…

A Dress for a Formal Work Do – Ask Anna

“Please help!  I am in need of a dress for a formal event I have coming up at the Dorchester Hotel.  My colleagues are all quite fashion savvy so I need to be suitably stylish!  I have long hair and am open to wearing it either up or down.  I have an olive skin tone so please also recommend the best colours for my complexion.  Many thanks.”

Your event sounds really exciting, so hopefully we will be able to take some of the pressure off by finding the perfect dress.  With your olive skin tone most colours will pop beautifully on you.  Maxi dresses are all the rage this season so we love the fact you’ve decided to go with a long dress.  Jewel tones are also particularly popular at the moment and a dress which immediately springs to mind is our Butter by Nadia floor length dress in Amethyst.  The Greek goddess detailing on the back of the dress exudes style and would work best with your hair up. Team with silver accessories and strappy heels and you’re set!

Our Marchesa NottePaillette evening gown would also be perfect for your event.  Classically glamorous this floor length dress would work with your hair either up or down.  Embroidered with shimmering paillettes, minimal accessories are needed.  Compliment with a chic black clutch, a delicate silver necklace and strappy heels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, our Zimmerman maxi nude dress would also be very suitable for the occasion and is right on trend.   Slightly more subtle than the others, this dress is fabulously feminine yet allows you to add a touch of your own style.  Long dangly earrings, a delicate necklace and a shimmering purse would boost its glamour while giving you the freedom to wear your hair up or down.


Rent Amee Lou for your Autumn/Winter Cocktail Dress

Right now we are going crazy for the Australian high-end fashion designer Amy Boers.  With her unique take on 1930s and 40s fashion with a modern twist we have seen ostrich feathers, chiffon flounce and mini trains featured on her delicate designs.  Her latest collection After 5, under her label Amee Lou, debuted last year at the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and has been globally renowned.  Her feminine frocks have reached the shores of the UK, Ireland and the USA.  Most recently her Eilidh Dress graced the red carpet donned by the beautiful Jessica Knappett for the premiere of the The Inbetweeners. Accented with a beautiful red pair of Vivienne Westwood heels, this outfit was so perfect you could easily mistake Knappett for a red carpet regular.

The Amee Lou collection is filled with romantic colours such as black, champagne and plum endowed with drapes and ribbons that will add just the right amount of glamour to all of your special occasions.  With cocktail dresses such as our Floris dress, Violet dress and Winona dress you’ll be sure to make that jaw-dropping entrance. Retailing for £300 to £400, at Girl Meets Dress we are able to offer these dresses to rent from just £49! Perfect for the Autumn/Winter party scene-add gold accessories, a metallic clutch and sky-high heels for head to toe chic!
