Sadly, August will mark the end of our summer (though we are keeping our fingers crossed for a late summer!) and to ensure you go out in style we got in contact with DesignMyNight.com. They provided us with the UK's most glam events for the month, so all you need to worry about is a fabulous new outfit. But don't worry, Team LBD has you covered there too with dresses for all occasions.
Moroccan Sky Riad
Moroccan Sky Riad – London
Searcy's, located at the top of the Gherkin, has opened its doors to the public for the first time to make way for Moroccan Sky Riad. With a variety of packages available, you're guaranteed a fabulous time, not to mention view! This eloquent space has been designed to bring a taste of Marrakesh nightlife to London and with plenty of scheduled entertainment and delicious cuisine to sample it's safe to say the masses will be dazzled. Be warned, this spectacular pop-up only runs for seven weeks, so book soon to avoid disappointment.
What to wear...
Use this event as an opportunity to be extra glamorous. Whip out your favourite red dress, one like this Lipstick Boutique maxi. Go all out red by adding a red lip and up the wow factor with some sparkly jewellery and glitter eye shadow. You'll be ready for a romantic Moroccan night looking out onto the London skyline.
Shop the Outfit: Lipstick Boutique Tatiana Dress in Red £65, Aftershock London Becky Shoe in Black £65, Adele Marie Cascading Flower Necklace £44
Rooftop Summer Ball: A Taste of the Oriental
Rooftop Summer Ball: A Taste of the Oriental – London
If there's one thing the DesignMyNight team love, it's a decedent night out at the Kensington Roof Gardens. To wave goodbye to summer, the private members club have organised an Oriental night of splendour. Expect to see plenty of talent on the night on the 29
th as dance and acrobatic acts work their talents in front of the crowds. Dress code is black tie with an oriental twist and oriental dresses, two words ladies – get buying.
What to wear...
Avoid the obvious kimono-esque piece for an oriental theme and choose something more original. A multi-coloured tropical print like the one on this Lipstick Boutique dress is ready for the occasion. Team with a bright pink lip and black accessories and you're good to go in a theme appropriate yet oh-so chic evening look.
