MARKET HQ PARTY STYLE

May I present to you the first of a three-part summer series in collaboration with super cool online boutique Market HQ, along with blogger babe Danielle and photographer Grace, showcasing three affordable summer looks, each for under $100.

One of the absolute best things about shooting for Lion in the Wild is stepping out of your comfort zone and getting lost in the moment, allowing you to escape reality for just a moment. For the most part, I am completely myself when in-front of the camera, the happy-go-lucky kinda' girl I aspire to be. However, every once in a while a project arises that pushes me to embrace a particular character.

And so, Danielle and I found ourselves stranded on a salt lake, with only each other and our fabulous Market HQ threads. The first of our looks was inspired by the summer party season, just in-time for New Years Eve. Both opting for mini lengths, I couldn't resist the beautiful Organza Box Dress by Staple the Label. It ticks all the boxes in that it is simple, yet makes a striking statement.

Head on over to Market HQ to check out their rad selection of stylish party dresses, and don't forget to keep an eye out for the next two looks!
