Last Saturday the Malta Fashion Awards happened and of course in terms of getting dressed up and our wardrobes, for a lot of us, the day marks one of the biggest nights of the year. In my case, the night was very complicated – I was working backstage (the sufferance of a fashion stylist) and for such a big and long event that means coordinating what was going on and making sure the models get ready etc which ultimately means waaaay too much running and walking around. I was also nominated for two awards which meant I needed to walk the red carpet at the start of the show and also be on standby when the winners of those categories were announced. It honestly felt like I needed to be in two places, in different clothes at the same time.
On my last trip to the UK I had encountered a British design house JOLABY and bought a beautiful dress from them. I also recently bought a really interesting pair of shoes (you may recall a facebook status about them and them being called a piece-of-art) and the two came together for the night along with a pair of vintage earrings.
I must admit – the shoes came off my feet to be replaced by trusty Birkenstocks, at some points throughout the evening but the dress was super comfortable. My hair and makeup was done on site by the awards team – hair by Mario Muscat, make up by Terry under Elaine Galea’s supervision.

Congratulations on being nominated for two categories, I can imagine a lot of hard work and time must have gone into earning them… and that dress by Jolaby is gorgeous and looks amazing… will need to look them up the next time I'm in London.

Your dress is SUPERB!!! I love it. I would've worn it with different shoes though, like a nude one so as not to clash with the print 😀
