What a day ,one day to go and got no dress !

It's the eve of the BEFFTA Awards and I still had no dress for tomorrow 'til late this evening! One would wonder as to why I left it so late! From the outset I always knew what I'd wear to the this grand occasion, something from my wardrobe, but then as I was looking around for what to wear to the MOBOs, I came across a very elegant and sexy outfit. So I thought to myself not bad and that's how comfortable I became knowing that I had a selection of two outfits to choose from. But by this morning I was in panic! It's always nerve-racking when you have an occasion to go to and  knowing that every single person there is going to try and be as glamourous as they can afford; for me you just have to mention the words  "Red Carpet" and the stakes change instantly - even A-listers sometimes get it wrong, so I decided to look around for a third outfit just in case.

I started by going to Wilson and Butler on Fulham Road where they have a selection of vintage clothing upstairs and I did like a dress there but didn't fit round my bust so I moved onto the Amanda Wakeley store. There were two absolutely beautiful gowns, slightly sequinned - one was powder and  another purple. I tried on both of them and the powder coloured gown looked  just amaaaaaaaazzing with my skin tone but had a hefty price tag and also wasn't practical.

With anxiety building, I asked for the gown to be held for me for a couple of hours as I had a look in Sloane Street.

In Sloane Street I was only interested in only one store and that's Roberto Cavalli! Well known for making the most stunning red carpet gowns, they're fairly priced and practical but also Graham's favourite designer (along with Versace and D&G)!

The fact is the boys will not really need to put in a lot of effort simply because it's black tie. If the ball required a LBD, then I wouldn't be running around looking for an outfit. I would just simply look in wardrobe and find something.

Why is it that God made things much simpler for men in every way possible and made it hard and painful for women? Huh?

Anyway  en-route to Sloane Street I stopped by the  Giuseppe Zanotti store  on Walton street and picked a pair of shoes which I've had my eyes on for sometime, totally Gussepe!!! I love them! I hailed a black cab which dropped me right outside the Cavalli store. I tried on at least five different outfits and they all had their own advantages and disadvantages except for one! It's a classic by Cavalli, a long wrap animal print which fits so well and moulds itself on my body.

As it was approaching 5pm I decided to buy the wrap dress, but still not entirely sure, I stopped by the Agent Provocateur  store on Pont Street and fitted on the dress I'd previously had in mind together with the jewellery I had also seen. I was at a loss for choice and since the shop was almost closing I decided to buy that dress too!

Now I'm back to square one, exactly where I was in the very first place, having lots of outfits but failing to make a choice  about which one to wear!

No matter how many times one does this, it's always the same  old story of nerves: "What if ?" "Am I?""Am I not?" etc etc....

At least one thing I know I shall not be worrying about is my handbag! I will be carrying my new precious purchase bought in support of the breast cancer awareness month. I will be carrying my exclusive bag specially made by Elizabeth Hurley for Aspinal of London which I ordered a while ago!
