Colour therapy

Last night I wore some serious colour. And not just on my body but also on my lips.

I know - hold the front page!

First - the dress. This is one of my Zara sale bargains. Reduced from something like £60 to £16 (equivalent) and for that I was quite happy! It's that shot of bright coral that makes every skin tone look good - even the ones with mere office tans! :) 

It's a little big in size but nothing a belt won't fix so out comes my always faithful American Apparel grey number. 

Now the lips. Yes, it's all a bit matchy-matchy but I couldn't help myself. This By Terry product - I got in my Space NK makeover a few weeks ago - would achieve "rave" status for a few reasons:

a) It's a lip tint that won't dry out your lips - it basically feels like you have applied water.

c) It lasts a good amount of time.

b) It's a beautiful bright fluoro coral/pink that looks great on it's own or as a base for layering. Try it with Hue lipstick by MAC and you have a gorgeous and unique bright pink/nude lip - if such a thing is possible!

c) It's called Dancefloor Flirt :) 

The colour and the lips made me feel just a teeny bit retro so out came my sunglasses by Elizabeth and James. I really do love these. The angle of the lens and the metal arm is just perfect. I think of them as part Wayfarer/part cat eye and for that reason I think they are pretty flattering. Highly recommend - says the sunglasses addict :) 

Dress: Zara (I would link but I can't find it on the site so it might be in stores on the sale racks)
Belt: American Apparel

Bag: Celine

Lips: By Terry Aqualip jelly tint in Dancefloor Flirt

Sunglasses: Elizabeth and James - Link!

Hair: some sort of haphazard tie-back do because it was far too frizzy and hideous to wear down.

Hope you are all having a lovely Thursday! End of the week for me - not to rub it in or anything - and this weekend I am going to avoid having to do any work. Hallelujah! :)
