The reason I was quite so sleepy on Sunday is because we went to The Boodles Boxing Ball on Saturday.
A charity boxing match, hosted by Boodles on behalf of the Starlight Foundation.
Starlight is the most wonderful charity, they grant wishes for sick children; trips to Disney Land, meeting Father Christmas, recording a song... whatever they want, Starlight organise it.
What's amazing though, is the difference doctors see in the children who are chosen to have a wish granted.
There is a 70% likelihood that a 'terminally' ill child will survive, if they are a Starlight child.
Isn't that incredible??
70%!
Doctors see a marked difference in the child's attitude, health & general disposition. The planning, the excitement, the dreaming... it's not just memories being built, it's futures.
I wore a Butter by Nadia dress.
I need to do a whole separate blog post on this collection. It's the best thing since sliced bread... and butter.
I've never seen a live boxing match before and we got to see 3!
I quite like it, but mostly because I like being in a crowd of supporters, cheering, booing & hissing at the fighters!
It's panto, but with added sweat... Sexy, I know!
It was a wonderful evening and if you have a chance I thoroughly recommend checking out the Starlight Foundation.
The work they do is quite simply... extraordinary.

So, people all over the city slipped into their glad rags, bow ties & diamonds and headed down to the ball.

I've been eyeing up those butter dresses for months. Ever since I was searching for a bridesmaid dress for my friends wedding. They seem amazing! How does the fabric feel? Were you not tempted to make a change halfway through the evening and see if anyone noticed?!

u look great!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun event! Gorgeous dress!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in these photos (well, in all your photos lol) and what a fantastic cause :)
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm not a fan of boxing so I would donate the money rather than go to the event lol! Am sure you had fun though and got to take those marvelous shoes out for another trip :)
You look lovely!!
ReplyDeleteWas just wondering if you remember whether the dress was perhaps the "signature jersey ball gown" or "the signature jersey wrap gown" from butterbynadia? (or maybe something entirely different!)
I'd love to get it for my prom xxxx
