Hi Everyone
I had a lovely day out in London this week. Luckily a day with hints of sun and warmer temperatures unlike the rest of the week!
Just a quick snapshot before I left of what I wore, this Navy and beige top which is fitted but has loads of stretch, so it’s comfortable and beige trousers with navy sandals and my big white shopper to keep the essentials in. I’m off to view the new collection by Alie Street.
You may remember me confessing my love for the Alie Street brand in my previous posts here and here These dresses are still available today, and if your looking for a sophisticated well-fitted dress for work or a special occasion then do take a look at the Alie Street Website.
The event was held at a beautiful location. The Chesterfield Hotel in Mayfair
Photo supplied via Michelin
How beautiful is this reception?!! I would have loved to have taken some snaps of the hotel, but it was quite busy, so I have grabbed this photo from the web.A perfect place for afternoon tea at a reasonable price of £38.50 it really was a gorgeous place. Take a look around at the website here
Entering the conservatory located in the hotel I was met by the Alie Street team who were lovely and so welcoming. A few of the new designs were on display, and I’ve taken shots of those. The rest is under wraps for now, but I’m sure I will get to share that with you later.
How beautiful is this trio? I was asked which was my favourite and I liked them all so much it’s hard to decide! Which one would you choose? I’m tempted most by the one in the middle and on the Alie Street website you can see it worn by celebrities here but I would love to know your thoughts!
Alie-street also provides maternity wear. Great for special occasions, so if there’s a family wedding planned and you have a family member expecting, guide her to the website!
A chat and tea and cake after! I did feel spoilt!
I look forward to sharing a new Alie Street dress with you later, so don’t forget to help me choose! Let me know in the comments box.

What a lovely day! I would enjoy tea and dessert. The collection is quite lovely! I think my eyes went to the blue pattern dress in the middle as I am adding blue hues to my wardrobe.

Hi Hannah! Firstly, thank you for stopping by! And there are some must see places coming your way! I will get them to you! xx
Laurie I love your posts for always introducing me to new brands. There are some lovely items here. Summer dresses are always a bugbear of mine so it's great to see something different. Thanks for linking. #TweensTeensBeyond
Thank you Jo. The good thing that I like about this brand is the fact that every dress is classic and non dateable xx
i agree with your choice … my first choice would be the dress in the middle. and what a marvelous way to spend the day, fashion browsing and noshing. thanks for sharing the experience and for joining my Fine-Whatever link up.

I like the left one but it's not my colours so I'd need to pick the lace on the right. Love the look you wore btw. Fab gingham blouse and reasonable price.
Thank you Anna xx
That look a lovely event, perfect location and clothes – what's not to like. I think I'm with you on the dress in the middle too #tweensteensbeyond

I'm with you, Laurie – the dress in the middle is my favourite. It's stunning! Mind you, the others are so pretty too (especially the white lace one). I bet you had a grand time in that beautiful hotel!

I'm with you on the blue one in the middle Laurie, that's gorgeous. Even the maternity dresses are divine, they almost make me wish I was pregnant again just so I could wear them. Lovely
Thank you Michelle. I hope you stop by to find out which one I chose! x

Left hand one – smashing. Can't wait to see your choice Laurie. x I bet that was a super day out. Jacqui
Thank you Jacqui. It was a lovely day. The hotel was amazing! xx
Middle one. I was reading Susan of Over 50 Under 20 yesterday who commented that sleeved dresses are difficult to find. I reflected that I have just one summer dress with sleeves – and I have the arms for sleeves. Thanks, Laurie, you've found me yet another source for dresses. This could get expensive! And I – and hubby 🙂 – have oft admired Jasmine's dresses. It's very dangerous that I now know where she gets them from …
Thank you Mary! I always like having a nose at what the news readers are wearing! xx
Wow..that flower lace dress is gorgeous! And I just had a dream last night that I was wearing a lace dress–how funny!
