Prom

Well it's quite obvious I have the blogging fever. Earlier this year in June I had my end of school Prom. Since I've traveled a lot, and this was my fourth comprehensive school I didn't think my prom would be as special as the people who had been there since little kiddies, but it was an amazing night with amazing people. After months of hunting the internet and a tiresome day shopping in Chichester, West Sussex I decided to hand it all over to my mam, who did not disappoint. She found this gorgeous karen millen dress:

(is it just me or does that photo seem very photoshopped or does the model just have a very disproportionate body?) It seemed refreshing compared to the normal puffy monstrosities! So now it was the accessories, now my mam and I being avid pink lovers... went for the obvious and went for a more tropical approach rather than princess approach. Shoes were found from dorothy perkins... they side detail of the stitch and crease matched the dress perfectly. My mam who is a trainer hair dresser and beauty therapist (amongst many other talents) had the genius idea of a fresh lilly in the back of my hair, which also features in this picture :

The shoes were so comfy! Although my feet did ache a little by the end of the night. I wore earrings from a cute little boutique in Chichester called Strawberry. My bag was a one my mam already owned but just so happened to be perfect shade of hot pink. I finally tied together the hot pink theme with a hot pink pashmina. As there was so much going on with the colours and the dress, I kept the rest of my jewelry to a minimum only wearing a rope pandora with a selection of charms on it. My hair was put into hot rollers and with a boufant featuring the gorgeous fresh sparkly lilly flower.

Now time for the dress - now let's remember here that i'm a good approx 9 inches shorter than the model and her legs are significantly longer. Also I fill out the dress a lot more than the gorgeous slender model.

My make up was simple, with a sparkly bourjois peach eyeshadow and individual eyelashes and a hot pink lipstick.

Finally my nail varnish was Model's own navy and pink sparkles, I still love it!

Overall I had an amazing night.. and i can't wait for the opportunity to wear my dress again! Maddy xoxo
