Throwback to Prom!

Hey there,

It's definitely been a while since I've updated my little slice of the Internet -  life has just completely taken over! I just can't believe how time is whizzing by and it feels like ages since prom season...crazy right?! I jumped at the chance to attend my school prom this year, to celebrate an era - the perfect reason to pamper yourself with sparkles and extensions and dress to impress...

Prom season has always been the most exciting time of year for school leaver's. I was lucky enough to be invited by a group of my close friends to prom and of course, I didn't even hesitate to sign up and pay my first deposit! For years I'd been dreaming of this date - any excuse to treat myself to a make-over, but first some serious shopping had to be done...

Shopping for the perfect dress proved to be a stressful procedure, but I couldn't have been happier with my choice. After spending hours on end browsing through endless ball gowns, from long and flowing to short and sparkly, I found the perfect dress. A mad dash round the shops for accessories was desperately needed, but you can't go wrong with a bit of sparkle!

Time was fast approaching us and before I knew it, I was singing away in the back of our mini-bus speeding past the heavy traffic in London. Our chauffeur had  dropped us right outside and I couldn't believe the sheer size of the venue - it was incredible! The building was absolutely mesmerizing and everyone looked stunning! Couples were queuing up for photos on the red carpet, sipping bucks fizz from classy champagne glasses. Camera flashes were everywhere and everyone was buzzing from the excitement!

Drinks were being downed by the gallon and it's safe to say everyone had a great night - even the teachers were dancing. Everyone looked stunning in their ball gowns and this evening is definitely mt favourite unforgettable memory!

My Year In Photos {2014}

Hey there!

Reflecting back on last year, 2014 really wasn't that bad! For me, it was a year of new beginnings, participating in new experiences and mastering the first step to boosting my self-confidence! It was also the year I fell in love with my camera - sounds vain, I know!

I'd never been a big fan of Instagram - the idea of using hashtags scared me! Seriously though, I can't even remember what i used to do before this app took over my life.I know I definitely can't live without it now! I just love to document my life, taking shots of places and events I wish to remember forever. I love flicking back through my old scrapbooks and photo albums - reliving those moments of my life where I felt blissfully happy, remembering those special memories I've shared with loved ones whom are sadly no longer with me and cringing at all the hideous clothes and hairstyles my parents tortured me with over the years.

I thought I'd share with you some of my happiest moments from 2014!
