MY SIXFORM BALL 2013

 

So it was my sixform ball last Tuesday and everyone was in their 'suit and tie'. I had a nightmare finding my dress as I left it until pretty much the week before to get one. I found mine on ASOS after days searching; it was just a simple strapless lace cream dress. Quite basic for me but I wanted something really elegant and pretty. Obviously I had to grunge it up with a studded black belt and heels as I couldn't have an entirely cute outfit! It was such a good night, much better than I anticipated. However the end of the night was a bit of a mess and I only got 2 hours sleep before school the next day, nevertheless still a brilliant night. It's wierd to think I probably won't ever see the year above again...

WASHINGTON DC


Just under three weeks ago I went to Washington DC with the school for an A Level History trip for 8 days. The whole journey itself (including the bus, taxi and plane flight) was about 22 hours so it was quite exhausting. For the 7ish days we were properly there, we spent 5 days doing museum and historical visits, such as the White House, Natural History museum and Holocaust Museum. It did start to get boring by the end...

The shopping day was what I was looking forward to the most, but I must admit is was very disappointing. I didn't find any shops that I liked expect for a makeup store. From there I bought about $55 worth of Mac Makeup: Studio sculpt foundation, bronzer, concealer and lipgloss - I bought so much for so little money. All of that would have cost me about £30 here which is absolutely AMAZING! I was so buzzing with my buys.

However, I did get to go shopping on the last full day in Chinatown. There was an urban outfitters, american apparel, forever 21, H&M, Zara etc. I spend $150 in American Apparel, but that was my main aim of the trip to spend lots of money in there! I bought a crop top, dress, denim sleeveless shirt and cami top. It was cheaper in America so I took full advantage of that.

To sum the trip it up I found quite a lot of the museums fairly average and the shopping was bbrilliant in Chinatown and the little makeup store. Of course I absolutely LOVED the food, it was to die for. I literally was full all the time but I couldn't resist eating all the time as it all looked so good. Although their food is mostly quite crappy, it was mint for the week we were there.

END OF SCHOOL BABY | PART 1

















  

So yesterday was the last day of year 11, last day of compulsary education. It was such an amazing day, everyone came together to sign tops and yearbooks; we had free lessons basically; there was a leavers assembly from our headmaster where he read out all these letters we sent in year 6 to him. Then we had a leavers party in the night - that is going to be 'Part 2'. 

All I have now to tackle is my GCSEs - my first one is this monday, french. I'm so nervous about my upcoming exams, I seriously want to do well but it's so much work! 

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, lots of love xxx

THE CLOTHES SHOW 2011





 









 I revisited the Clothes Show again yesterday with the school as part of an education for textiles. I knew what to expect this time as it was my second trip, so I was not amazed like last time. But don't get me wrong it was still brilliant, although it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The shops/stalls were okay (I loved the vintage section as this year I was able to truly appreciate it!). I only bought a little gold vintage gun charm for a short necklace chain as I could not really find anything. I wish I had bought some knitwear and more jewellery but ahh well, there is always next time.

The Fashion Show, "A night at the Department Store" was fantastic! This never disappoints me as the acting, clothes and story is always inspiring and amazing. The fact that they remembered ALL of the dance moves was astonishing because they were dozens of dance routines. I could not fault it. It was extremely exciting to watch, and you couldnt help but scream at the attractive, hot men with six packs out of this world! Hahahaa.

If anyone also went to the Clothes Show in Birmingham either yesterday or any other day, please comment below and share you thoughts on your day ♥

P.S. The Fake Bake guys looked like they had been dunked in chocolate, which made them even more delicious!
