I think I'm probably the only person on the planet who has not yet seen a single episode of Mad Men. I don't usually get engrossed in the hype of the latest US television series but after hearing about this show on almost a daily basis and with an invite to Dotti and Maikitten's virtual Mad Men themed Cocktail Party, I had to investigate a little more.
Of course, it is the style and era of Mad Men that has caught the attention of so many fashionistas. I can't pass any comment on the programme until I actually watch it but I did do a little research to attend the virtual party. I came up with a 1950's style dress and lightly back-combed hair with red lips and nails.
Go check out the party to see what the other guests are wearing and recipes for the fabulous cocktails they are drinking. *EDIT* You can also now vote for me if you like my look, so please head over there and cast your vote!

You and me, both! I've even had the boxed set bought for me and can't be arsed to watch it!
Love the Sixties hair and elegant dress. xxx
Paula, you look so cute and pretty! That hairstyle really suits you. Also haven't seen Mad Men, must try get hold of some eps x
I always love your outfits & your photos. Your shoes are adorable. Mad Men is something I think you'd like because it's very noir. It is slow at times very slow for a TV Show. But it's worth a shot! I'm going to go check out the party!
You look divine- the dress, hair and shoes very prada and very chic. I haven't watched Mad men.... always fighting with not enough hours in the day. Beautiful post. Katie.x
I love how you're wearing your hair, the Topshop nail polish looks great too.
I will have to check out Mad Men too. Your hair is gorgeous like that, it really suits you!

OMG! Glam!
You look awesome!! This outfit is perfect, i'm just so in love with your shoes!!! ^^
Your hair do is nice to!
Cheers! (you can see my participation to the Mad Men cocktail party on my blog)
Oh you are such a beauty! That dress and those shoes too! x
Don't feel bad, I've never watched Mad Men either. You look to be perfectly suited for the era though! Great job.

Lovely look and pictures!!
i actually don't watch it, either! and so many people assume that i do (for the styling, of course). i'm waiting for one day this winter when there is a massive snow storm and i can sit inside and watch all the episodes at once.
it's been a pleasure to meet you at the party! i love that dress of yours!
you look gorgeous. i haven't seen a single episode of mad men either, its nice to see so many people who haven't seen it ...ha! i do plan on watching...soon...someday..maybe.
You look divine! Mad Men is one of my favorite shows, I do hope you enjoy it if/when you watch. My only advice is that if at first it doesn't quite strike your fancy, try to hold out because it gets much better later on. This season especially has just felt perfect to me.
This looks so beautiful and luxurious!

I haven't seen any of the programme either - have seen loads about it in mags though. You look lovely - I have a couple of things I bought with my Next voucher that are unworn and going to be returned, must look out for that dress. xx

You look beautiful, grey has never looked so good! I actually first saw Mad Men way before everyone was talking about it and that was by accident but since i caught that one eppisode while mindlessly changing chanels I've been hooked!
I love your outfits they're so classy xoxo
gorgeous outfit!
love how you pair the red nail polish + lip colour with a simple yet chic outfit!
xoxo
Gorgeous outfit, it is very madmen, and I say that also having never seen an episode! I'm sure I'd love it but tbh I just don't watch that much tv and I'd never catch up with all the previous series!
Wonderful pics! :) I still haven't watched Mad Men either and I'm starting to feel like I'm missing out on some cultural phenomenon! Will look forward to hearing what you think! Your blog is lovely, am following & enjoying! xx
These pictures are gorgeous, I'm in love with the colors !
you can't beat a good 50s cocktail party. we have had a few over the past few years. we have a hollywood's classic film cocktails book which is great. says which drinks they had in which films. i haven't seen any of mad men, don't know, it doesn't really interest me.
i have never seen an episode either! i think i should since i mean, we hear about it ALL the time. the same thing goes for the show Glee, but i dont know. I dont find myself looking up "hyped" shows until unfortunately they are completely over.
but back on track, you have such lovely ideas that come out wonderful in your photography.
Lovely photos :)
I've never seen that programme either!!
so fantastic.You look amazing my dear. Just had a look at what the other girls were wearing...some really looked like the girls from Mad Men. I saw a Joan lookalike there.
Watch Mad men here
