On Saturday night, we had our office Christmas party at the Park Hyatt in Melbourne. The theme was The Great Gatsby, which suited me to a T.
On the menu, for entrée, there was onion tart:
or prawn cocktail:
I had the prawn cocktail, which unusually had potato salad in the middle. I liked it.
Main was either lamb:
or chicken:
I scored the chicken, which suited me.
Dessert was "petit fours" - actually, mini desserts in the form of chocolate mousse, lemon curd tart, a raspberry macaron and pannacotta with lemon grass jelly:
It was a fun night. The music was definitely not Gatsby era, so that we could all dance the night away. Late into the evening, there was even a staff band!
If you are curious as to my outfit, I went for a late 1920s bias cut dress that I already owned, and accessoried it 1920s stylee:

all the great selection, yummy!
what a fun theme - and you look very elegant and svelte - just disappointed not to hear that you did the charleston :-)
I love desserts like that - an assortment of lots of lovely things.
Love your outfit, particularly the head band!
The party looks fun, and you look fabulous!
I was also excited to see your photos of Miss Fisher's costumes. I just finished watching season 1 (we are probably behind in the US) and enjoyed the series so much - especially her clothes!
Hi Jill, glad to hear you've been watching Miss Fisher. Series 2 just finished screening here.
Thanks! No, very modern dancing took place.
Fun!! You look gorgeous too :)
The food looks really great. Thank you for sharing.
