Prom!

Hi everyone!

This post is a bit late (as my prom was nearly 2 weeks ago!) but I really wanted to post my June Favourites at the last Monday of June! Anyways, I'd love to show you all some pictures and my view of the night!

I never really was super excited for prom when beginning my final year of my high school and it wasn't until the last 3 weeks before prom when I finally started getting things sorted, such as hair, makeup, jewellery etc.

Dress

My heart was set on a purple dress as it is my favourite colour and I fell in love with hundreds of different styles for the purple dresses. But when I went shopping back in February, I instantly fell in love with this high neck navy dress from Quiz. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a dress and seeing this dress was perfect for style and price!

Hair 

As my dress was high neck, I definitely wanted an updo as it would really show off the jewels around my neck! I looked at some images on the internet and a side bun was a must! But when we trialled it I felt like it needed something else, so I had a braid put down the back of my head then put into the bun. As you can see some curls were coming out the bun and you can really see the blonde that I had put into my hair (which I loved!)

Makeup

I was going to go for a basic brown eye makeup look, but I thought I should do something with a bit of colour! I used a navy & silver eyeshadow (with a LOT of blending.) I didn't think I could pull it off and people were surprised that I done it myself (so was I!) And I even attempted to wear false eyelashes but they didn't work out too well as they kept falling off!

Transport

Me and my friends turned up in an old fashioned Buick and a family friend drove it down for us! We went around the town and SO many people saw us it was really weird getting all this attention because I was really not used to it! However, we all felt like celebrities when we got to the school!

3/4 of my group, will miss these lovely people!

Its crazy to think now that chapter in my life is all over! It seems like yesterday that I was shopping for my prom dress and not really caring about the whole thing because I was more worried about my exams! I'm sad now that I won't see these people day in day out and I won't be returning to school. I'd like to wish all of the people who were in my year the best of luck for their futures whether you're staying on, going to a different sixth form or going on a college course/apprenticeship. I'm sure you will all work hard and get to the places you want. Here's to the next BIG chapter of our lives!

See you in the next blog post,
