Pink, Prom and Perfect Dresses!

Heyy Gals,
So as you probably know it was my high school Prom a few weeks ago and I just thought I'd share with you some of the photos from the night and what dress and style I decided to go for.

Before there was any mention of Prom at school I knew that I wanted to go for a 50s style tea length dress. I have always appreciated and adored the pure class, innocence and elegance that the 50s style possesses. I did have a hard time finding this style of dress but after scowering many online stores and prom dress shops I found a large bridal store that stocked a wide range of dresses not that far from where I live. It was here that I found this gorgeous dress. It was originally a halter neck dress but I preferred it without the strap and so they were able to detach it for me.  My dress was also originally in a very pale blue shade, but I also chose to have it remade in a baby pink. In this colour the dress also resembles the dress that Lorraine where's in Back To The Future when she goes to the The Enchantment Under The Sea Dance with Marty's Dad... which just so happens to be my favourite film.

You can't tell on these pictures but the dress also has an overlay of ivory dots on it which exemplifys the 50s flair. My peep toe heels are from New Look and my clutch bag is from Next.

Again, sticking with the 50s theme I opted for a winged eyeliner and a matte red lipstick. In order to achieve this striking colour I used a Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet- you can find my review of this linked below.

I absolutely love this moment that my Mum captured between me and my Auntie. And I thought I'd share it with you because you can see my pin up curls clearer and it might help you if any of you are trying to find a photo of a 50s pin up hairstyle.

I had a lovely time with my friends at Prom. Everyone looked fabulous and I wish everyone at my school and anyone who's just left high school all the best for the future. May you have a fun filled Summer and a brilliant start at whatever you go on to do.

Happiness Jar.

At the beginning of 2014 I started something called 'A Happiness Jar' which I saw on a blog in late December of 2013. It's a jar in which you write down things that make you laugh or smile throughout the year: good times. And then at the end of the year you open the jar and read about how much has happened over the year. All those brilliant, priceless times you've shared with family and friends and of course those ridiculous times, when you sit back at the start of January and laugh about what you wrote on the paper in front of you.

 

I have kept doing this throughout the year (surprisingly) and tonight I opened my jar. It was such a lovely thing to look back at; all the lovely times I had in 2014 including meeting 5 Seconds Of Summer, going to various concerts and gigs and laughing so hard it hurts with family and friends. It really helps to make you feel more positive about 2015, which was one of my New Years Resolutions.

 

It's really made me think that however I might be pessimistic there are good times in life that we have to look forward to. These are the times worth living for. Like that famous quote 'Remember the little things because one day you'll look back and realise they were the big things'.

 

I hope you try this in 2015. I really enjoyed doing it.

Update..

Hi guys, I'm just posting to apologise how I didn't update that much over Christmas. This was because we had a bereavement in the family and I just didn't feel like updating. Well to be honest uploading  a post was the last thing on my mind. So I'm going to ignore them posts and start a fresh.

Anyway, Happy New Year beautiful creatures I hope you had an amazing night last night and I wish you all the best in this upcoming year, 2015. Where has the time gone?! All what I keep thinking about when somebody says 2015 is how Marty and Doc go to the future in this year and where the hell are all those cool inventions such as hover conversions, hover boards and hydrated pizza. I need these in my life. For any of you who don't know what I'm on about I'm making references to the 80s film Back To The Future. (comment if you want to fangirl with me about this amazing film).

This year I'm planning on making this blog even better. That means posting lots more, using more social media to interact with you brilliant readers and maybe, just maybe starting a Youtube channel (but that would be later in the year). Speaking of what I want to happen this year, I'm going to be sharing my ''New Year's Resolutions'' with you. In the hope that I can maybe persuade you to make a statement on the first day of January that by May you have completely forgotten about :)

Let's hope I stick to these ones more than I did last year,
