You probably first clocked this Needle & Thread two-piece if you caught my recent haul video — and what a showstopper it is. I genuinely can't put into words how much I love this label. Every piece of formalwear they put out feels effortlessly whimsical yet intricately crafted, and this soft lilac ensemble is no exception. The bodice is covered in exquisite beadwork, while the floaty tulle skirt is honestly a dream come true. Absolute perfection!
Moving on to the rest of my makeup — with all this shimmer, you've probably guessed I'm going with a nude lip (groundbreaking, I know). I've been totally smitten with the Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy Shine Lipsticks lately. They feel cushiony and hydrating on the lips yet still leave behind a glossy, almost lacquered shine. Swipe-and-go application and zero-fuss reapplication make them perfect for a discreet top-up mid-party after one too many drinks. The formula is fairly sheer, but shade 200 — a moody, muted nude — has become my constant pick, since it reads like my natural lip colour only elevated.
With a smoky eye blended out using my Red Carpet Face & Eyes Palette, a dainty hair bow clip tucked in, and I'm officially ready to shimmer into 2018. Though not before grabbing a couple of backup bottles of Si Nacre first…
