Prom

On the 27th of June I had my school prom to celebrate leaving and all that, so I thought I'd share a few pictures with you.  I personally thought it was great and so lovely to see everyone looking so dapper and pretty! 
I decided to do my hair in a 1920's esque-y thing.  I love, love, loved it and it cost me (my mum) £30 at the hairdresser's but I loved it so I think it was well worth it.  As for my dress, everyone kept asking if it was vintage; it was from Miss Selfridge.  I think it was about £50, which is such a bargain compared to some of my friend's dresses.  I never understood the concept of spending £200+ on a dress you'll only wear once?!  
My shoes were from Zara and I love them!  I plan on wear them again because they can't be wasted.  I believe they were £30.  Then there's my bag which was from Internationale at £10 (I didn't intend to buy a matching bag to my shoes but then I saw it and thought 'OMG this needs to be done').  The last thing was my headband and that was from accesorise for £17.50 incase anyone was wondering.  

So, prom does add up money wise but I think it's all worth it for a lifetime of memories!  








As for travel to prom, I went in an American style yellow school bus and...hmm.  It was cute but none of us really loved it.  Oh well, it was a laugh.
We got served a meal which was no where near as bad as it had been made out to be by the previous year group!  After prom everyone headed down to the beach for an all night-er.  Can't say it was the best experience of my life but definitely a funny one!

Itty Bitty Haul & OOTN Video




These are my recent purchases over the last week or so, so I thought I'd share them with you!  Even though I'm currently saving up a bit of money to go for a big shop in the half term, so there isn't a lot.  Still thought it would be good to get this up though, so enjoy!

As featured in my last post...The Lacey Jeans!  Who else is in love?  I am.  Very deeply.  
They're so gorgeous, they're just the perfect mixture of slouchy boyfriend and nice fitting so that I don't look like a huge fatso.  
May I just note that all this week, whilst I've cut most of the crap out of my diet, I have significantly slimmed (or so I have noticed - no one else has, but whatever!) so these jeans are already a few inches too big... But still wearable nontheless.
Anyway, yes, they're fabulous.

The clutch is from Primark (£2!).  I wasn't in search of a clutch at all, I just walked past and saw that it was only 2 pounds and felt I would not miss out on the little cutie.  Infact, I was in search of the belt (also only £2) but as I was sort of rushing, I managed to pick it up in a M/L instead of S/M which is majorly frustrating so I've made a hip hole but not yet a waist one.  To be honest, I was expecting it to look great with loads of things, but in reality it doesn't look so good on me.  I think it might be my short legs...I don't really know.

As for the little beauty pieces, they're all from Fragrance Direct, except the moisturiser.  Incase you haven't heard of Fragrance Direct, its basically a super cheap beauty site and in total my purchase of Bourjois foundation and concealer, a brush and Essie nail polish came to £10 including P&P.  How bloody good?! 
   Unfortunately there is a really limited amount of shades so I was lucky that the foundation and concealer actually matched to me as there was literally about 4 shades to pick from, I just chose the lightest.  The Essie polish only had about 6 options to choose from which was gutting but I love the pink colour!  It's just SO cute.  Then we come to the brush.  I was expecting the brush to be a mini but not as mini as it is!  I was a little dissapointed but for one pound something I didn't really mind.
Then the moisturiser!  So it's Olay Essential Beauty Fluid.  The box claimed to make my skin utterly beautiful and soft and lovely and I think it's aimed at an older age group to myself but I still am really liking it!  I usually go for a different Olay one, but I'm glad I went for this one instead!

Okay, so this was longer than I expected it to be.  Next time I do a haul, I'll either make a video or I'll just take individual pictures and write small captions.  Anyway, hope you like what I bought!  Have you bought anything you're particularly happy with recently?

Oh and I also filmed an OOTN recently so here it is:

Lalala






Shirt- Topshop, leggings - H&M, jacket - Miss Selfridge, wedges/flatforms - H&M, earrings - Dorothy Perkins, bag - Zara

So sorry I haven't posted in such a long time its my summer holidays so I've been super busy just chilling and having fun I'm loving it!  I'm finding it so scary being 15 now, so many of my mates are almost 16 and alot of my older friends are going to be 17 soon it makes me feel so old!  Where did my childhood go I feel so grown up :-( 

Wore this outfit to a party at the weekend but I think it's casual enough for day time (despite wearing different shoes; couldn't quite face wearing flatforms to the corner shop!).  Anyway just a short post I hope to have more up soon, have a good day everyone!
