Getting Festive!

Friday night we celebrated our work Christmas Party at Number 1 Fitzroy Street.

I must admit, I was at exhaustion point. You can probably tell by my crazy eyes in all of the photos.

We had Grants funeral on Friday afternoon and I had not been sleeping much during the week due to the heat, I am just not coping well in this heat as our air conditioner is broken but The Husband came home with a little portable air con for me to use in the mean time whilst I find someone to fix it.

I wore this Celina Tank Maternity dress from Soon Maternity, and now I see that it is on sale. Always the way isn't it? Damn.

You will probably see a bit more of this dress as I plan on wearing it to death to last me the entire festive season. 

I decided to jam my feet into my Sandler wedges and it was a decision that was regretted very quickly. 

Heat + elevation = swollen feet very quickly. 

I have not painted my nails in yonks. I don't have the effort in me to maintain them but glitter polishes wear quite well so why not get in the festive mood and go red and glittery?

This is China Glaze Ruby Pumps which does not photograph as awesome as it looks on. Take my word for it. 

Roses.

Chocolates.

I keep my GHD, Parlux, Curler and other essential electrical items in the cabinet under the bathroom sink (which was probably not my brightest move) so when my sink leaked last week, guess what got ruined? Fancy that. 

Anyway, I dropped into a random salon on Friday to have a quick blow dry before the party as my hair was frizzy from the rain during the day. Half way through my blow dry the hairdresser accidentally knocked my glass off the bench, causing it to smash and glass went everywhere, including slicing my leg and left me with blood gushing every where.

So not only did I have a soaking wet dress, I also had a bleeding leg.  They gave me antiseptic wipes and band aids but for some reason it just kept on bleeding.  Definitely not a relaxing blow dry, believe me. 

As soon as I stepped outside my hair went frizzy again anyway so it was a pointless exercise.

My hair is at such an awkward length. I cannot wait for it to be long again. 

When you ask for a virgin Cosmo, you will be given cranberry juice in a nice glass.

At least it matched my dress.

The staff were fantastic at making sure I always had a full glass of water handy.

Christmas Party Clutch Essentials:

Mace, Chafing gel & Paw Paw ointment. 

Don't mind the messy room, this was taken at 1am and at 1am I am more than happy to take a photo surrounded by mess.

I'm glad I bought an actual maternity dress, the ruching is actually rather flattering and I am contemplating getting it in another print in the next size up so that I have another nice dress but I only have 11 weeks to go!!

11. 

Can you believe it?!

Hello baby. 

I drove Kitty home after the party as she is a fantastic friend, often driving me home in peak hour traffic so I don't have to battle with strangers for a seat on the tram, and I told her that I actually felt drunk.

I think I had gotten to the stage of being so overly tired that I was delirious. 

So I got home at 1am and then was up at 4:30am to drive mum to the airport, I am getting in practice of having no sleep - but I am struggling. 

What are you doing/have you done for your office Christmas party? Did anyone disgrace them selves at yours? Everyone was very well behaved at ours!
