My make-up
essential is a great
dark wine-stained
lipstick. I prefer

“I think style is a really
delicate combination
between what you like and
what looks good on you”
Pick one part of the body to show off. You want to
always leave something to the imagination. It's that
balance between being a little risque but also classy
Know your body.
Not every trend
looks good on every
person. So many
times I've seen
styles I love on
someone else and
for whatever reason
it just doesn’t
work on my body
Plan your outfit
ahead of time.
Have an idea
in your head
before you start
trying things on.
I have to do this
or else I'll try
on 500 outfits
and my room
will look like a
tornado hit it! I currently love a
little silver clutch as
my event sidekick
A black dress

BEHIND-THE-SCENES AS THEY REVEAL THEIR PRE-PARTY TIPS AND TRICKS
Compiled by: Alexandra Venison I look for an outfit that stands out in an unexpected way. I don’t need to be the first person noticed in the room, with a sparkling hot
pink dress on – that’s just not me. I like to be a little mysterious, edgy. I like people to ask: “What’s up with that girl, who is she?”

2. “Before we head to a event, we have our
own little party while we get ready. Think
good music, crazy dance moves and piles
of clothes all around the house!”

One of the
best things
about the
holiday season
is that you
can dress up a
little bit more.
We always find
ourselves craving
sparkles and
sequins
We are both big
fans of natural
looks. This is
why we have
absolutely no idea
about make-­up
tricks. We only
use foundation,
rouge and a bit
of mascara. That
is why when we
decide to dress
up and do heavy
looks people around
us get so excited
Our outfit choices depend on our mood. They can vary from total black ensembles, to printed patterns with leather and furs. We love to experiment

Don't ever underestimate
accessories and how they
can completely transform
your look”
I love to stay active by doing outdoor sports.
When you feel great, you know you’ll look
great, ready for when the next event invite
lands in your letterbox!
I believe in
the saying,
“Eat breakfast
like a king,
lunch like a
prince and
dinner like a
pauper”
An event is a
great excuse to go
shopping. First stop,
Chanel!
My make-up essential
is tons of mascara – a
necessity for any look
I always go for either a
smoky eye or statement lip
when it comes to make-­up.
Base is very important and,
as I work in TV, I know how
to emphasise or hide certain
features. If I’m going to a
big event I’ll always get
my hair and make-­up done
professionally
Bulletsbutterflies.
com is an amazing
online boutique that
stocks super-chic
brands straight from
Europe, usually
lend me dresses
and accessories for
events. Lucky me!
After deciding what to wear
I choose my accessories. Gold
suits my tan but I'll go for
anything that adds a touch
of glitz and glamour It’s better to be overdressed than
underdressed
fashion/pre-party diaries
We’re both early risers, we just
feel this urge to seize the day! We
enjoy waking up to good tunes and
dancing in the shower and always
make time to have coffee, sit cosy
on the couch and skim through
magazines and the Internet, to gain
our daily fashion inspiration dosage
and check our mail.
We always try to have
a healthy snack at home
before we head to a party
or event to avoid over-eating
at the buffet later

We never plan
our outfits in
advance. We
leave everything to
the very last minute,
so every time we
have a big event
to attend, an hour
before is when
the drama begins.
We stand in front
of our wardrobes
screaming, “We
have nothing to
wear!”
