Prom Snippets

A very picture heavy post, I know.

Hello strangers. I've been a bit of a bad blogger over the past two weeks and for that I can only apologise  I've been a busy bee and also on Saturday March 2nd it was my sixth form prom. I thought I'd share with you all some photos from the day as I had so much fun and I enjoyed being dressed up and feeling all girly for once.

I had my dress for a barganious £35 - I couldn't believe my luck. I love the dress itself - it was so comfortable and it made me feel really feminine  The sweetheart neckline makes this dress super flattering and makes me look like I have a tiny waist which I most certainly don't. I also love the soft and neutral colours scheme. 

I fell in loooove with my shoes. They're also really feminine but are kept modern by their chunkiness. They were kind-of painful to wear due to my awkward feet but I did manage to do the cha cha slide in them so that's a success right?

I've just got back into the swing of revising for my summer exams so I'm sorry if posting is a bit sparse on times. I'm trying to organise myself a little schedule so I'm posting at least once a week but I can't seem to ever keep to schedules so we'll see how that goes.

I'm currently so nervous as I have my first set of AS results tomorrow - I have 3 results in total (biol, maths, chem) and I'm so worried as I wasn't happy with the exams I sat. Is anyone else receiving results tomorrow and is as nervous as me? 

✼ Face of the day/Outfit of the day ~ Casual Fancy Dress ✼

Hello everyone. 

I haven't done a fotd post in a while and I liked how my make-up looked yesterday evening so I thought I'd do a post. Nothing majorly special but I really enjoy reading and writing these posts. 

Yesterday evening I went to my friend Rachel's house with several others for a little drink, catch up and we also dressed up. I was tiger lily/indian/pocohontis, not a very good one but it was very last minute, I kind-of wish I drew stripes on my face now. I was going to be French (I had a striped t-shirt, red neck tie and beret at the ready!) but changed my mind last minute as I really wanted to wear a dress as I rarely do. It was a lot of fun, I usually hate fancy dress but I can't wait to do it again soon.

Soo, a lot of make-up but I really liked how it looked. I really like a bronzey eye on me because it makes my blue eyes stand out. The Collection Fix Me Up Spray held everything on all night, and kept my make-up looking very good indeed. I was very impressed. Review soon! Now for a few pictures from the night.
