Last Wednesday was my school prom and was something that I had been looking forward to right from the start of high school, sad I know, but I was not disappointed. Dancing and sweating my make-up off to Grease and Apple Bottom Jeans with my closest friends will be something that I'll always remember. Rivington Barn hosted the perfect evening and was not the bog standard community hall with the odd balloon floating around, they really made the night special by adding fairy lights, smoke machines and balloons that came down from the ceiling when the last song hit the speakers.
The more exciting part of the night however was gazing at all the dresses and seeing how well the boys scrubbed up in suits. Here was my attire for the night…
My beautiful scarlet dress was from Mango at a very affordable £129.99, I loved the way the back crossed over and it was very simple, yet elegant. However I did want to jazz it up and add a bit of sparkle, so I went on the hunt for a statement necklace. After looking at some pricey options in Banana Republic and Monsoon I soon discovered this Bollywood beauty on Ebay with a matching ring and pair of earrings. Stunning and even more stunning for the small price of £7.99. I had my dress altered by Sheila Ann as it was far to long for my tiny self, I was majorly impressed with couture finnish.
My Hair was created by Rachel at my hair salon, Hair Studio 336, which I highly recommend to anyone in the Manchester area as they are the loveliest and funniest women I've ever come across.
I applied my own St Tropez tanning gel in stead of a smelly spray tan and did my own make-up. I went for a bronze smoky eye using the Sleek Au-Natural Palette and a matte bold red lip using Mac Ruby Woo.
Other Make-Up Used:
Fashionista Brow palette (discontinued)
For Accessories I opted for a pair of black Dune sandals that were in the sale and an old Oasis silver beaded clutch that matched my jewellery.
On my nails I was sporting Essie, Not Just A Pretty Face.
To those asking was it all its cracked up to be? Yes, prom was amazing.
