OOTN/FOTN: Blue Is The Colour

Long time no speak! I'm finally back with a mammoth list of posts to do - the first of which being an Outfit of the Night from last week which marked my work Christmas party.

Excuse the headless shot... let's just say many alcoholic beverages had been consumed by this stage! Damn you cocktails!

I absolutely adore this Zara dress that I picked up in the summer, everything from the colour to the shape is perfect and this was its first outing of many! I teamed it with black tights (it was fff-reeeezing) in London and black ankle boots after I discovered my beautiful glittery shoes tipped forwards when I walked! Badly balanced shoes + alcohol + cobbled streets + work the next day = accident waiting to happen!

I kept my makeup pretty simple and re-created the look below...

NARS Sheer Glow in 'Mont Blanc'

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in '51'
