Class of 2009-2014 ♡

So last week me and Alicia left High School! Apart from many...many tears I don't think we could of asked for a better leavers day or prom. I know Alicia did a post similar to this yesterday but I wanted to show my prom things and I'm also going to tell you a little bit about our leavers day. 

Leavers day

Our leavers day was the 25th June, the day after the very last summer exam for this year. We started the day in our tutor groups until everyone had arrived before we moved into the maths block so all of year 11 were together in a separate building so we didn't disturb the rest of the school. This is where we did things like sign old shirts and year books or whatever people took in to get people to write in. We also took lots of pictures with our friends until we moved at break time to outside the canteen. Here we had a barbecue and teachers came to say good bye and sign things for us. We also started to say goodbye to people we wouldn't be seeing in a while as we got ready to go to our leavers assembly. The assembly consisted of year 7 photos, photos from trips we went on such as Venice, Italy and Baggeridge outdoor center, Big Brother style video diaries, year awards, thank yous, videos from our year 7 concert and many other things. Then everything came to a close. It was the time we had all been dreading, saying good bye. Although we would all be back together the next day at prom me, Alicia and our friends all still managed to spend far longer than socially acceptable crying to each other in a circle at the front of the lecture theater. Despite all of the tears we had a great day with all our friends that started all the excitement for Prom! Here are a few of the many pictures I have but as Alicia said yesterday we don't know if our friends would appreciate being put onto the internet so I just have a few.

I was slightly worried Alicia might kill me for these next 2 photos taken from the yearbook so I did have to ask if I could use them! Aha. But luckily she said yes! ENJOY YEAR 7 AND 8 ABBIE AND ALICIA! 

Year 7 was definitely our year!

Prom!

On the 26th June we had our prom at a lovely golf club near our school. 

My dress was from the Prom shop almost every girl from my school uses ,so you cant end up with the same as someone else because they keep a list, called Celebrity. 

Because I have light hair and skin I decided that having a spray tan just wasn't for me. Instead I used the Dove Summer Glow nourishing body lotion. It is something you would only need to put on the night before because it really does tan your skin a lot just over night! It was great because I did it the night before but a few days after it started to go really patchy and not look very natural anymore so it might not be very practical for more than 1 day. When I had my dress on I also applied some Ted Baker bronzer that not only adds a small amount of colour it also has small bits of glitter in it so it adds a really nice shimmer. 

I don't have a close up of my makeup because it was a bit of a rush after it was done as Alicia and the car arrived  early.  But my auntie very kindly did it for me and it was perfect! Just what I wanted as it wasn't too much but still looked like a lot of effort had been put in! But I do have pictures of my hair! I went to my normal hairdressers and 2 ladies called Lauren and Becky did it for me! It took 1 hour and a half for Lauren to pin curl my hair because of how thick and straight it is and then Becky did me a lovely waterfall plait going around my head and between them they added the clips I got from the prom dress shop. I was so happy with the outcome and once it was done everything became more real that it was actually happening! 

For my shoes and bag I had them both from Dorothy Perkins and they were great! The bag was just the right size and with some gel insoles I got I managed to wear my shoes almost all night!

For jewellery I had a sparkly earring and necklase set from Warren James the jewellers  which I'm so glad I spotted! I also got a pandora bangle and charm which matched my dress really well! It was really nice because I didn't see anyone else in one so it was a bit different and also something to remind me of the day as the charm is the same colour as the dress. 

Here are a few pictures I have! We went in a vintage gold Rolls Royce that was really cute and like Alicia said, the driver even managed to keep up with our sarcastic jokes which made the quite long drive alot more fun!

Sorry this post is so long I got a bit carried away! Now we are done with school expect more blog posts!

Prom 2014

Ahhhhh finally a blog post on mine and Abbie prom!!! It was amazing and actually felt like a dream! The venue was amazing and the views were amazing as it was at a golf club which meant good pictures! It was so pretty and the way the prom comity decorated everything was lovely and how the group pictures were done and we even had props to have pictures with! So this blog post is just some pictures of our prom and how me and Abbie arrived in style in our cute gold Rolls Royce!


First was my makeup which I loved we used a lady called Tamsen who is a makeup artist and  we knew from my hairdresser who got married, so we invited her round and had a few consolations as I could not decide how i was going to have my makeup the first trial the eyeshadow was way to dark and it really didn't look like me and I wanted to look back when I'm older and to be like 'omg look at little me' aha so then a few weeks later  I had another trial  and this time we used light browns and glitter and no fake eyelashes and it looked like me so that's the one I went for and I loved it!

Next was the hair and again had several trials as I could not make my mind up of how I wanted it so I started with to the side with lots of curls and then all down and then finally tired half up and half down and boom that was the one! I love my hair curly so my hairdresser just did tighter curls in my hair and pinned my fringe ( which is growing out) and some pieces of my hair to the back and pin it up to in a way make a ball of hair at the back of my hair aha! sounds ugly but it was so beautiful and we ended up buying some hair pins from the one and only Claire's and they were little pearl balls with diamonds in them they were so cute and went lovely with my dress! 

Then my nails! These were prom nails/holiday nails and it took me ages to pick a colour as I have gel on so I have the colour for like 3 weeks so I have to really like it! I finally went for a colour called "cake pop" from CND and I went for crystals on my ring fingers and glitter tips on the rest sounds horrible and tacky but they are lovely and I plan on having the same colour on for my holiday and the same crystals on the ring finger as they were pricey but then I had exactly the same on my toes and had crystals scattered on my big toe as my shoes were peep toe and of course wearing sandals on holiday!

Next is the best part the dress and the accessories.... My dress was perfect I absolutely loved it and it fit my perfectly! I ended up having it made by someone who my family are friends with and this was only because 1)The sizes were too big in the prom dress shops for example put on a size 4 was too big and Abbie had the same problem with the sizes and 2)Nothing stood out to me and I didn't want anyone having the same dress as me:S anyway we went to Birmingham and brought all my fabric for the dress and it was a lovely experience picking the colours and seeing how it all went together and every couple weeks I would get pictures or she would come and I would try it on and I loved it and it was nice seeing how it all come together! The dress was baby pink with a corset back and scattered crystals on the bottom of the dress and a crystallised bodice and it was lovely I'm in love with it, and I'm so grateful that my mom agreed on it and I'm grateful for how much my parents did! Next are the bag and the shoes! My shoes were something that me and mom thought was a brill idea which was crystallised heels! So we went to next and brought some gold shimmery kitten heels and asked a lady called sparkle with emily who has done a lot for us ( and I really recommend her to everybody)to crystals my shoes and she did and they are so beautiful! I then forgot about a bag and this was a last minute buy as the shop that does my nails has a shopping area and I found the most delicate crystallised clutch which would go perfect with the dress and then I was done!

Then the car!! It was beautiful, me and Abbie went for a gold Rolls Royce and it was so pretty and vintage we really liked it and it was such a reasonable price so Thank you Kerry for finding it us. And the man who drove it was so nice and actually played along with mine and Abbie's sarcastic jokes we do so after he picked me up my mom followed me to Abbie's house were we met up and then travelled to the venue and it was such a surprise as we kept our dresses a secret and I don't know how we did that but we did!

Overall the night was amazing! And we really enjoyed it and the venue was lovely we had a load of pictures with our friends and group photos with silly props and stuff but I don't think they would appreciate me and Abbie putting pictures of them up on the internet;) I really hoped you enjoyed this post it's something different but I will be doing my holiday makeup and will post it before we go on holiday!

Thank you:)

My presents this year were mostly makeup related fashion related and little things that have little jokes behind them! The one thing I got which I loved and haven't stopped using is my Naked 3 Palette its amazing and I really recommend it, its going to be my next blog post and I will be showing what my favourite colours are and what I wear and how its different to the others. Christmas was filled with food and family and also my Uncles christmas quiz which went on for hours and I didn't even win!

Boxing Dayyyyyy

On boxing day we always go to my dads mom and dad in the afternoon for another christmas dinner which went really quickly this year and was also really strange due to my brother being at work and then on the afternoon we always go to my moms dad and moms for tea which consists of little nibbles as I like to call it and I love it! I think its lovely to spend time with my family as I'm really close to my grandparents and the food that they do is brilliant might I add.
