Prom

On Friday 3rd July it was my prom, I am in year 11 although I've left school and will be going to college in September. I was a bit unprepared for prom because I left alot until two weeks before the actual day. (Big mistake but worked out okay in the end) I wish I'd have bought my dress sooner so I could've had it turned up/fitted but I'm also glad I left it so late because I was nervous I'd change my mind on the dress before it arrived. As it happened, the dress fitted well and I loved it. My dress can be found here on amazon, I got it in burgundy.

On the Wednesday before, I went to get my spray tan (which went horribly wrong, but ended up okay) then afterwards I went and got my nails done.

At around 2pm, on the day, my friend (who is a qualified beauty therapist) came round to do my hair and makeup, she did an amazing job and I was so extremely happy.

We went with curly hair, with a slightly off-centre parting and braids bringing it to the back, I had a small bouffant and we clipped it in the back with a clip I got from the Katy Perry collection at Claire's, which if you'd like you can get here.

For makeup, we went for a glittery gold eye with a smokey effect to it, I had a slight winged eye liner and we put on some single lashes dotted in random places. I loved the makeup and thought it looked so pretty. We went for a simple nude lip.

We finished at around 4pm and I waited around half an hour for Courtney to arrive and then we had a impromptu photoshoot in my garden. 

We headed to one of my friend's houses to have pre-drinks and photos. At around 5:15pm our taxis arrived (Not quite pumpkin carriages but similar) and we arrived really early. 

At around 6pm they served food, knowing our school it was probably the leftovers from days before. BUUUUUT, then it was pudding time and the pudding looked delicious!

For drinks, we got sparkling water, absolutely mental!! But it looked classy with my tanned and accessorized hand.

Then we partied for a bit and then left the prom. The prom itself was okay but the rest of the evening improved 100%. Me and Courtney and a few other friends all headed to parties, I had two parties to attend and went to both for a bit. I wore a black dress with a white grid from Select for the after parties. I had a looooot of fun.

And that was the end. The prom was so much fun and the whole day was really fun!! I would relive it anyday. 

Thank you for reading!
