Time for a Wedding!

Wednesday: Fashion

Dear people of the internet,

Recently I purchased an item which cannot be ignored.

My Auntie is getting married very soon (well actually November!) so I'd thought I'd start preparing as I'm going to be a kind of 'bridesmaid' role, even though there is no co-ordinated dresses as the wedding is entirely informal and intimate, with a couple of family members invited.

I had had my eyes set on a dress in Topshop for a while. 

It is actually a bit daring for me, as even though I would class myself as having quite a girly, pretty fashion sense, I usually wouldn't go for items which are very pink or purple.

This dress is gorgeous.

It's short, just above the knee, and has a skater type skirt which I'm really loving at the moment, as its pretty and formal; perfect for a wedding.

The dress itself is a peachy coloured pink, with thread patterns making flowers all the way over. It has two layers, one the peach material and the other the lace which has the flowers sewn into it.

The real reason I bought the dress is actually the best thing about it.

Obviously because its from Topshop I was ready to acknowledge the fact that the dress was entirely out of my price range and so my thinking of buying it was ridiculous.

Thank God for sales!

The dress itself had started off at £48, then reduced to £25, and finally to £15, which I personally thought was a steal!
Find it here.

It looks gold here but it's not!

What do you guys think of the dress? Do you love the satisfaction of a bargain?

I'd love to know in the comments!

Prom Night

Tuesday: Lifestyle Post

Dear internet friends,
Today is the day of the week for a lifestyle post, so I thought I'd write about a recent big event in my life, my high school Prom.

My Prom was on the 28th of June, at a racecourse not far from my house. My high school was an all girls school, but for the night we mixed with our neighbouring boys high school.
The night was amazing. (I'll slot some photos in here somewhere)
I wore a navy blue dress, with appliqué jewels around the waist and neckline. My make-up was simple, a light cheek and lip with a dark eyeliner and shimmery eyeshadow. I also did some darker blending in the crease of my eye!

My hair was also quite simple, as I had a waterfall braid around one side of my hair, and the other side pinned back. The rest of my hair was mostly straight with some natural, soft waves.

My nails matched my dress, navy with diamond sparkles lining the top.

My Dad took me and my friend in his convertible, as we played 'Girls just want to have fun'. It was great! All my friends looked absolutely gorgeous. We had an after party at my friends house and then slept over, ready for a barbecue the next day with all our families. It was absolutely lovely!

Prom was the most amazing experience and probably the most memorable of this year!

Love From

Lauren!

I'm back!

Dear internet friends,

I'm back!

I kind of went on a little (big) break. My exams ended and I kind of just stopped caring about many things and rejoiced in my new found freedom!

Finally my newbie period is complete and I can start to set myself a schedule of blogging, finally.

I'm going to start a routine.

I hope you will enjoy the new weekly pattern I want to introduce, as it will have a more organised feel and you guys will know when I'm going to upload.

My schedule will be:

Tuesday: Lifestyle Post

This post will be a little bit about what I'm doing in my life! It will also give you guys a chance to tell me a little bit about what you're getting up too, so we can all get to know each other better and keep up to date with our lives! (I promise I will try to do some exciting things!)

Wednesday: OOTD (Season Inspired)

This is a fashion inspired post, so I will be posting my outfit suggestions for that time of the year, or be telling you guys about a new fashion product which I may have purchased, or even a haul post.

Friday: Weekly Review

I will review a bit about what I have been doing that week and update you guys about my product use/fashion buys etc.

Saturday: Beauty Day!

On this day I will be talking about any new products I am enjoying, or review any products you guys want me too! (Request in comments) 

I also want to get into a routine of certain dates every month. On the 1st of every month I will try to update you guys about what posts/activities I will be doing that month so you guys will know what I will be up too. I would also like to talk about some things which I am interested in trying/reviewing etc.

On the 30th of every month I will do a favourites post for that month or a season tag depending on the month in question!

I hope you guys think this is a good idea?

If you have any suggestions on how I could improve my posting schedule, please tell me in the comments.

Any requests will be read!

Thankyou!

Love Lauren.
