If you follow me on Instagram you'll already know that I went to a fancy dress party this weekend.
The theme was "Best of British" and the whole shebang was held in honour of "Pigs4Kids", a charity set up to help children with learning difficulties.
Phoebe & I spent Friday afternoon rummaging through the rails of goodies at Angels, determined to find something as British as bad weather, fish 'n' chips & Mary-bloody-Poppins.
We (both) decided to go as 'Nancy' from Oliver! and took it in turns to be each other's understudy. The boys were clearly feeling pretty manly & invariably went for military dress or shooting attire... we weren't complaining.
Basil didn't need to dress up, he was already wearing his finest tux.
Beggin' Nancys.
After pre-drinks & pizza we set off for the party.
It was held in a great big photo studio. They had old Bond movies projected onto the walls, red, white & blue bunting all over & huge a crowd of friends & friends of friends.
It all started out so civilly...
But quickly descended into silliness.
We danced into the early hours of Sunday morning.
They raised over £11,000 for the cause.
The cherry on top? I can't remember ever having laughed as much as I did that night. An incredible party.

Looks like someone had some fun over the weekend. Great costumes :-)
ReplyDeletethat party looks like fun! such an amazing amount of money raised too xoxo
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your pictures. They articulate how much fun it is to be in your 20s and jumping into life. Now is the time to dress up, hit the town, take the crazy trips and live it up! Career grows with you as you go along ( you and your girls seem quite smart in that arena) and soon you are thinking marriage, kids. Always Always keep the girls close to you, because it is your girlfriends that get you through every obstacle life throws at you and they will be there to rejoice with you over your successes. Keep having fun! and keep posting the pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely stunning, fabulous photos! X
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing, what a great theme for a party :) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures you all look fab xx
I just love fancy dress evenings, always so much fun as everyone's in character.
ReplyDeletePlus this is for a good cause so a win-win evening really.

hehe, I wonder how many anons you get about your bust:) and how many of them actually keep it civilised:) nice costumes, I love how so many of the guys on your photos dressed up in Ralph Lauren/hunting attire, surely, that does not really represent England, only the upper 10% of it...
ReplyDeleteCan you look anymore amazing?!!??!

You looked SO stunning in that costume! and I absolutely love Phoebe's pose- love how she can look so silly and gorgeous at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIs that the same corset you wore to the Georgian Fairytale party?
Just amazing costumes and look like a wonderfully spent night!
ReplyDeleteAwh, I love a good dress up party! You look great as always and it looks like you had such a good night! x
ReplyDeleteomg London seems to have the BEST fancy-dress!!
ReplyDeleteThis will sound a bit weird, but you are actually my mantra. My idea of happiness is having everything that you share with us on your blog - travel, food, partying, good clothes. I always check your blog to motivate me whenever life hits hard and I'm feeling a tad hopeless! Some days it is the only reason I leave the house!!
^_^
You look beautiful as always Rose, loving the Nancy costume as well. Looks like really good fun, goodness knows I could do with some of that!

The bustier looks painful on the boobs haha but beauty or I guess looking hot is pain but worth it. I can't believe there was a century where women wore corsets and bustiers ALL the time! I'd like to try and live like that for a week
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a great night.
ReplyDeleteSuper plus it was for a good reason.
xx, A!

Hi Rose!
ReplyDeleteFirst I must say I'm a HUGE fan of your blog and find myself popping over here alot when I have *ahem* "spare time" at work.
I just wanted to ask a quick question. I'm planning a surprise trip to take my boyfriend to London and were meeting up with some friends, can you recommend a place we can have drinks and go for a dance that isn't too expensive? Any help you can give would be great.
Keep bloggin' :) Karen xxx
These are the parties I want to go to. I need to find parties like this one somewhere around me! :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys wore amazing costumes and I can feel the fun creeping through my computer screen! ;D
Wow, even as a girl I think you looked absolutely hot! Love the costume!
ReplyDeleteOh you all look lovely! You and DP make the most gorgeous couple, hope you have many happy times together x
