Bah, humbug! No, that’s too strong ’Cause it is my favorite holiday…To add to my already mad rush, Just ’cause it’s ’tis the season. The perfect gift for me would be… a party outfit!?***
Okay, that’s probably not the perfect gift, but it is the first official day of the ‘season’ and it is the first thing on my giant to-do list: Wrapping myself up for a ‘black tie’ event next weekend.
Okay, dress, check…everything else to go with it, not so much. The long sleeve dress, above, has been happily hanging in my wardrobe for a few weeks after I spotted something I thought was fun, yet appropriate and for an steal. Now I just have to deck it out and make it feel a bit me, which could mean going for a pair of Number 8′s on the list (black shoe boots), with a gorgeous feather fascinator as a bit of edgey interest…or I could keep it simple and go for some dramatic eyelashes…or take a fabulous bit of advice from one of you as I’m sure you can help make a decision. I just have to stop getting distracted by fabulous Christmas carols, especially this favourite*** , or I’m likely to be going in a dress and nothing else!

I *love* that song! *sighs at memories* And your list is gorgeous. tIO x
The dress is amazing and has such a soft look to it. I would skip the fascinator and play with some dark eyelashes and really shimmery light colored lipstick. A big bold silver ring to make things festive, and you’re ready to party.
I love those shoes. Darling!
Thank you very much everyone…just so you know the party has come and gone and it was a success. I ended up getting a black and gold sequinned fascinator/headband and keeping it really simple with black tights and some black patent leather heels I already had…Oh and a gold and sparkly statement ring – http://www.accessorize.com/all-jewellery/pearly-portonfino-ring/invt/88531713/?bklist=icat,4,shop,jewelleryshop,jewelleryshoprings
I had my makeup done at Space NK and had ultra smokey eyes and she was able to make up my eyelashes enough that the false eyelashes were unnecessary, who knew!?
I love those shoes. Darling!
