Wow. It's like I blinked and the entirety of 2020 was just gone... and I've not been anywhere or done anything notable to remember it by, except stay indoors and swerve socialising for the best part of 9 months 😂
I don't know about you, but as we come out of yet another lockdown, I've never wanted to dress up and enjoy new season fashion more than I do right now. Christmas and New Year are undoubtedly going to be different this year - no parties, nights out in Alma and no huge gatherings with friends / family... but any chance of glamming up & socialising in any form, I will be seizing with both hands and going full glam for.
And I'm fully prepared for this now, thanks to gorgeous glam fashion brand GODDIVA; who've just released their stunning AW20 Mysterious Glamour and Runway Collection.

You know I love writing, rambling away and expressing my opinion on pretty much anything I can - but I'm actually going to use some of GODDIVA's own words here to describe the beauty of their new collection... as it sums up the range in such a beautiful way. You's know by now my descriptions normally involve lots of overexcited swearing, drama and shrieks - so let's leave this part to the experts, before we get into the details of the sequin dresses I picked up from their site.
"Regality and romance, draped in mystery; welcome to GODDIVA’s AW20 Mysterious Glamour and Runway Realness collection. Each floor-length, Hollywood inspired gown tells a tale of romance, hidden love and scintillating mystery. This collection of figure-hugging party dresses boast sparkling sequins dripped in intricate detail, elegant lace and hand-woven embellishments.
Slip into the shimmering wine red dress, bedazzled with exquisite black sequins and a teasing, plunging v neck. The intricacy of the sequin vinery wrapping thoughtfully around the bust-line and hip make this vintage style, boutique evening dress the ultimate head-turner. Sparkle the night away with show-stopping evening dresses featuring maxi dresses from twinkling champagne to mermaid-esque midnight blue. Feel sexy and sultry all night as you unveil your A-lister, red carpet glam with timeless occasion dresses adorned with hand-beading, delicate lace and thought-provoking details.
Be it for an evening of wining and dining, an intimate candlelit dinner at home, ora special wedding - strut into the party season with GODDIVA's party dresses and festive occasions with our catwalk inspired dresses. Gunmetal, black and piercing gold sequins with iridescent complementary tones are the stars of the show! Tease with glistening sequins, flirty necklines, romantic thigh-high slits - perfect for the goddess within you!
Make a dramatic entrance with the burgundy bodycon halter neck maxi dress. This shining statement winner drips in old school glamour with a modern twist, and is simply dripping with a glistening array of illuminating sequins."
If that hasn't made you wanna hammer your credit card buying all the sequin glam you can, I don't know what will! Now onto the pieces I picked out for this post - which are all new season dresses and can be found online now. I'm an absolute sucker for sparkle, and I'm gonna level with you here huns - these gowns were even more gorgeous in real life than I expected them to be. No expectation vs reality moments on the blog today - GODDIVA's range actually exceeded my expectations.
The dresses I chose - and which I've fully fallen in love with are the 3 styles pictured in the image above... which I will get proper pics in as soon as it's not lockdown and I'm not totally on my own struggling with the self timer on my camera and failing 😂I've posted little snippets of the features of the dresses throughout this post - with close-ups of the beautiful textures (details are everything!) - and for anyone wanting links to shop the looks:
Dress 1 - GODDIVA PLUNGE V NECK SEQUIN MAXI DRESS - CHAMPAGNE (the dress pictured in the very first image in this post - absolutely IN LOVE with this princess dress & the wired shaping on the plunge front neckline.)
Dress 2 - GODDIVA WRAP OVER ASYMMETRIC SEQUIN MAXI DRESS - CHAMPAGNE (the second gold dress - I love the wrap over detailing across the middle, and the delicate feminine long sleeves.
Dress 3 - GODDIVA OFF THE SHOULDER SEQUIN HIGH LOW MAXI DRESS - SILVER (I adore the drapey, sparkly off-the shoulder detailing.)
