Party Time; Perfectly Pink

My work colleague, Ria, had a joint 18th birthday party on Saturday and the theme was 'classy'. I went for a pink and glitter theme and here is how I got my look.

Miss Selfridge Lurex Lace Panel Skater Dress - £39.00 - Size 6

I wore my Miss Selfridge dress - silver sparkle lace panel on the bodice, pink underskirt with light pink chiffon on top for the skirt. The pale pink colour made it perfect for a party and looked super girly with all my accessories, the only thing I would criticise would be the skirt of the dress, as it was chiffon, I was worried all the time about it catching and snagging the material! It's such a pretty dress, I didn't want to ruin it! I don't know what's going on with my feet.. they look a different colour to my legs when they actually are not..



New Look Black Suede Effect Scalloped Heel - £19.99 - Size 3

I don't usually go out to be honest. I might sound boring, but I would much rather go out for a meal or stay in in my pj's and watch tv! So when a party comes around, I usually only have 2 pairs of heels to choose from and they're both from New Look! I have only ever worn these heels once and that was to the work Christmas party! They are approx. 3.5 inches high, which is made even higher by the 1/2 inch platform under the sole. They cost £19.99 from New Look a few years ago, and that's how long they're been sitting in my wardrobe!

I have really weird feet, so getting heels to fit and not hurt after 2 minutes is hard! These are okay! They hurt after a while, but so did a  lot of girls heels after a while? But they are a classic black scalloped suede heel, with a shiny detail around the edging. To be honest, I love black heels. I think too flashy heels with a flashy dress makes it look tacky! but that's me! You can't go wrong with black :) I would definitely recommend New Look heels as there are so many different styles, colours and heel sizes and you can get student discount!

 When going out, you need somewhere to stash some money, your phone and some life saving makeup bits! For Christmas, my 'sister in law' bought me a New Look clutch bag and pink heart River Island stud earrings! The colour of the bag matches my dress perfectly and as I haven't got a really nice clutch bag for parties, it was definitely something I needed! Plus, I can fit a lot in it without it looking like I have everything but the kitchen sink in it!

The leather look makes it great to wipe over and the design is simple but classic. So I can accessorise it with anything! Love It!!

The pink heart stud earrings are from River Island. I usually wear real silver/gold jewellery, but these studs are so classy and pretty! And.. they match my dress and clutch! I've worn them with other stuff, so they're great to just add a bit of colour if you're feeling pale or jazz up any outfit to catch eyes.

I only have a couple of necklaces, beautiful classic ones. Saturday night I wore this white gold diamond heart necklace that Simon bought for me. It's pretty and perfect to add a little glam to any outfit, whether that's going out partying, or even going to the shops! You can't knock a pretty diamond necklace!

I also wore my Pandora bracelet. I only wear this on special occasions as one of my charms has been defective where some of the writing came out and therefore I had to get it repaired :( I have 10 charms so far and each one means something. They are £60 for the bracelet and £30 average for a sterling silver charm, but you can pick them up often on eBay cheaper! I love it. and as there are no sharp edges, it didn't pull my dress or the chiffon, result! And as before as it's personal it goes with anything! However, if it gets lost, game over :(

NYC Expert Last Nail Polish - Gramercy Glitz

Lastly, when holding a glass of whatever, in my case, coke as I don't drink alcohol!, you need your nails to stand out! I LOVE adding a bit of glitter to a plain nail polish and NYC Expert Last Nail Polish in Gramercy Glitz is great! The glitter and sparkle isn't too over powering to the eye and it really subtle in colour and glitter so it's perfect for day and night looks. You can build the glitter up with various coats, although I prefer two.

 So that's how I achieved my perfectly pink look! Classic and girly! What else would you recommend me to wear next time? Any great pale nail varnishes I should know of? I love glitter!
