High School Prom

Hello lovelies!

Last Friday night was my prom, the last night my school year was going to be all together. It was really bittersweet.

I just really wanted to write a post about my night for you all.
Prom is something I have looked forward too since I can remember so It was hard to believe it was actually happening.

On the day of prom i was actually haing a down day-when everything just feels horrible. As a result I never felt that excited, In fact I could hardly be bothered going which really upset me.
I went to the hair dressers first and Had my hair in big curls with the front pinned back. When I got home my mum told me that she thought I would've got something more special done and that i could of easily done that myself. Due to the mood I was in the tears started.
I was so upset my mum didn't like my hair and I was already having a day where I didn't feel pretty. Getting ready was not off to a good start.
I soldiered on though and did my make which I recreated for you so you can see a picture. I did mean to take them while I was getting ready but like I said I was grumpy.

In the end I had a great night. 
I went to my friends for champagne and to get in the cars. And down to the harbour for photographs. 
When we arrived we had more pictures taken and a glass of cava before our meal. 
The meal was great and the yearbook awards were announced. I didn't win my award though! I was up for biggest drama queen..
There was more pictures and we did chinese lanterns which was absolutely beautiful. All in all it was great night with everyone I have spent the last 6 years of my life with.


Here are more pictures of my night. Prom was a great ending to my school life and it was great sharing it with everyone in my year. There are so many people I'm going to miss and so much about school in general I will miss but we all have to move forward. I have some wonderful memories of school and i am sad it's come to an end but I am looking forward to making new ones at university.

The Best Day

Hello beautiful people

Today is an absolutely beautiful day so I'm sitting out in the garden with my dog for company as I write this.
Tuesday was another gorgeous day like today and me and my friends went along to Aberdour beach and It was really the best day of this year for me.
It was so simple and relaxed, only cost us the bus fares but I had so much fun just being in the company with some of the people that mean the most to me.
We went to the beach had a picnic of lots of different food and then at night we went round to a friends house and sat in the garden with aftersun and had a few drinks. It was the perfect day.
It was really the beginning of summer for us all because that was the last exam day for my friends. It made it extra special plus it is our last summer together before a lot of change. We are all heading our separate ways come September so we are really trying to made this summer one to remember.

Here are some pictures from our day








What I really am trying to say is cherish your time with your friends because inevitably you go your separate ways and although you may stay in touch and stay best friends, everything still does change and it's no longer realistic that you'll see them everyday.

Hope you all have a fabby dabby day!

Keep Your Heels High

Hello there beautiful people

I don't know about you but I LOVE getting dressed up to go out and getting dressed up means HEELS

I love shoes, heels in particular so I thought I'd share mine with you so we can discuss how amazing shoes are


Starting with my black heels





 These were the one of the first ever heels I bought from New Look years ago. I could hardly walk in them when I got them, Bless my little self. But Yeah I still really like these, I don't wear them as much anymore but they are great because they are so simple and classic and go with practically anything.



 These next ones I got about 2 years ago from a German shoe shop in Aberdeen (sorry I can;t remember the name! ) They were so cheap like £15 and I have worn these to death and they are still in amazing condition! What more can I ask?













These babies are my newest to my heels collection that you will see! They are from New Look, I got them in the sale in January for £13. These are great. They go with almost everything for a party and they have lace all over which I love and they also have patent details! Only down side to these is they kill your feet because of the height!


Next, My purple shoes



Looking familiar? Yes these are the exact same as the first pair I showed, just in purple. I loved them so much I had to get both colours even though they only had purple in a 6 and I wear a 5 I bought them anyway. So as you can imagine I've never actually worn these.. I'm going to give them to my mum I think, they'll fit her!













Now these, These are my pride and joy, My babies, I love them to pieces. They were actually a birthday present for my 16th from my best friend, oh she knows me so well. I know they were from boohoo.com But come on, we all just have to take a few minutes to appreciate the beauty that are these shoes. They are suede with an amazing glitter heel, only downside is again, they kill your feet and aren't the easiest to walk in but it's so worth it even if you do fall three times in one night..


My red and pink













These were the first pair of heels I ever got and they were actually my mums and are also slightly too big being a size 6 but I wore them anyway because I adored these shoes! They are just patent red with a little fabric bow. As you can see i like this style of shoe when I first started wearing heels! These were from New Look and are just a pair of nice simple red heels.




 I got these nude shoes after months of searching for the perfect pair. Eventually I found these in guess where? New Look. I absolutely LOVE how the heel and platform and strap are a different colour. These shoes just make me so happy. I get to wear them a lot and they are the perfect fit! No insoles needed for these babies! The best part yet, I can keep them on ALL night!

My Little Silver Sandals





I got these for a friends 16th whose party was in the summer. They are from Stead & Simpson which has now closed down I think, well at least the one where I live has. They were just perfect for the occasion and were really inexpensive. I really like these because they are so dainty and pretty. Perfect for summer parties with the family and little things like that.

Wedges













These are the last shoes I'm going to show. My wedges. I got these last summer to go with a dress I bought for going on holiday and I really wanted wedges for the summer anyway! These are actually just from Primark! You can really find some gems there when you're lucky. Since they were from primark they were so cheap for shoes but they work perfectly well for me. Since they are black they also go with a lot of outfits and are just perfect for what I wanted. Although everyone says walking in wedges is easier, I completely disagree! I find these so difficult to walk in compared to for example my nude shoes! What is wrong with me?!

I do own one more pair of heels that just arrived this week but I'm not going to show you because they are my prom shoes! I love them and I so desperately want to show them but I'm keeping the for when I do like my Outfit of the Night for Prom post in June!

So if you want to see those babies ( they really are beautiful) then you should follow my blog ;)

Now leave me a comment telling me about your favourite shoes so we can be all girly and get excited over shoes!

Hope you all have/having/had a fantastic day! All I did was read a book and write this, exciting stuff eh?

Nails of the Week

Hello beautiful people!

I am a complete nail junkie so I change my nail polish pretty frequently like every 3 days tops! This week I changed my nails 4 times which i know is rather a lot but i can't help it!




I started this week with "urban coral" from the Maybelline Color Show 
Its just basically a really nice bright but not too bright coral

I then had quite a change and went to "tomorrow never dies" from the James Bond collection that O.P.I came out with. I cant tell you enough how much I love this nail polish! I genuinely would say it is my favourite and when you have the amount of nail polish I do that is certainly something!

Then I went for this glitter tips ombré type nails, They didn't turn out the way I wanted but I wore them for a day or two anyway! The nude is just a random nail polish from FCUK that I don't know the name of and the glitter is "gold glitter" (inventive right) from Barry M

And Lastly these are my nails now! This is the colour "She's pampered" from Essie's winter collection but in my head this colour works for spring and summer just as well as it did for winter!

Whats your favourite nail polish of the moment? Let me know because I love talking about nails and things!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! I sure will because the sun is finally out in Scotland! Wow what?! Sun in Scotland!? YES!

Maybelline Color Show | Review + Swatches

Hello beautiful people

I went shopping just over a week ago and I picked up 3 of the maybelline color show Nail Polishes



The first colour I have is "Cool Blue". It's just a really pretty light blue as you can see above.

Secondly I have "Urban Coral" which I LOVE. I'm such a huge fan of coral in the spring and summer and this is just so perfect. 


Last I have this absolutely beautiful colour called "Speeding Light" Omg this is so so pretty! It's a hot pink with like a purple/blue duo chrome and well, I'm a sucker for duo chrome.




I think these nail polishes are absolutely brilliant!

  • They are super glossy
  • Very Opaque 
  • Lovely Formula
  • Amazing colour selection!
  • Fantastic price! They are only £2.99 and often on 3 for 2 at boots or superdrug!
  • They last so well! I had the pink on for 5 days before it chipped! The other 2 i didn't wear long enough for them to chip!
Really what more can you ask for in nail polish?!

These will be very loved in my ever growing nail polish collection! I have a 109 bottles now.. eek

Have you tried these? What's your favourtie nail polishes? I'd love to know because I'm always up for buying more!
