Christmas Eve Outfit & Makeup: A Little Black Dress and Classic Makeup

26 December 2011

Dress: River Island

Shoes: Dune

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” On Christmas eve I went to a local pub with my boyfriend and few friends. Fortunately it wasn’t as cold as last year, so I could afford not to wear tights. I love the slimming effect of this little black dress; it comes with a belt to define the waist, the 3/4 lace sleeves cover the arms just the right amount, and it was the perfect length for a shortie, like me!

My necklace is upside down! :(
 

My shoes are a Christmas present from my boyfriend; they are stilettos with a gorgeous gold snake skin design and a platform at the front. Oh, and surprisingly very comfortable!

As for makeup, I kept the gold theme that was going on my shoes and jewellery, with a bit of brown to warm up the skin. I lined my upper lash line with gel eyeliner to define my eyes, and finished it all with a pink lipstick.

Not a very exciting look, I’m afraid, but it’s classic and timeless! I don’t like to go crazy on my makeup when I know I’m having a lot of photos taken… It kind of saves the regret when you look back on your photos a few years later :-)

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas eve. Let me know what you chose to wear and if you have a blog, leave your link below so I can have a little nosey of your photos as well :o)

Au revoir!

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
Pretty much where we’ve spent the last 2 days! 🐾🐶 Benji is settling in brilliantly and I’m so proud of the kids for showing him a lot of love and affection... and of course, plenty of playfulness! 🥰 Now we need to work on his nipping - those puppy teeth are sharp and it seems little kiddies’ wiggly toes are irresistible! Any tips? 🤎

Meet Benji 🐶🐾🤎 . Yesterday we added a lit Meet Benji 🐶🐾🤎

Yesterday we added a little furry friend to our family and he is just the most perfect little pup! 😍 We’re so in love with him already, the kids literally haven’t left his side. We’ve wanted a puppy since before we had kids, but decided to wait a bit.  Benji joining our family now couldn’t have come at a better time and he’s such a loving pup. Just look at that face! ☺️

He is a chocolate roan show cocker spaniel and he’s 8 weeks old today 🍫❤️ His first night went so well, I’ll have to tell you all about it at some point, but for now I’ll leave you with these pup pics to warm your hearts! 🥰
