At last - it's the Johnnie B sparkly shoes in action! I wore them on Saturday with a striped jacket from Esprit that I got at the end of the summer sales last year. The jacket has gold trim so I've not worn that much as I felt it needed a nice gold necklace. Then I remembered I have a jewellery shop...it was a bit of a duh moment!

I need to give you an #OperationFormalDress Update! The one being sent to me arrived and is absolutely perfect in every way. I honestly might have cried with relief when I tried it on. It sounds extreme to cry over a dress but I really was worried! I knew I could pull off an average dress but at important events, if I'm not happy with what I'm wearing, I struggle to relax and enjoy myself. Well I can assure you that there will be muchos relaxing and enjoying ones-self on Saturday night!
Saturday morning sees the start of the preparation....with nails by my friend Catherine, followed by make-up by the lovely Lynne at Effortless Beauty in Moira and hair by Gemma Managh - Session Stylist. Both of these ladies are beautifying me free of charge as they read the blog and wanted to be part of my special evening so please show these fairy godmothers some Facebook love!
Back next time with what I wore to Belfast Fashion Week. What a week....
