Time Flies

Hello! So, yesterday was my last seminar of my first year at university... How crazy is that? It barely feels like it's been a month since mum and dad left me with these strange people that I now consider as my best friends. Oh, how time flies.

On a slightly more chirpier note, I thought I'd finally get round to posting a picture of the dress I wore to the Colours Ball on Saturday 12th May (an awards night held for all the sports clubs at the university). It was a really great night, from the performers and the rodeo bull, to the free wine and (amazing) chocolate tart. Praise to the Surrey Stage Crew for the amazing set up they produced! So this is the dress which I saw, and was eventually persuaded, to try on back in November when I went to visit a relative. 

So this is a picture of my friend and housemate Georgia (thank you for letting me use the photo!) and me (right) just before we left. Georgia's dress is from Asos and mine is from Ted Baker for £129 (style- Renii) with ruffle sleeves and a bodycon fit. The shoes were an ebay purchase and are Dorothy Perkins. I took a silver clutch from Accessorize that I took to prom and hasn't been worn since so it was high time to get that out again. I debated A LOT over this dress and decided not to buy it because of the money but I must have gone on about it a hell of a lot because Mum ended up getting it for me last Christmas. Naturally, I was extremely excited to finally go to an occasion where I felt I could wear it! 

I based my hair on a style that Blake Lively had at the BAFTA Brits to Watch Event in 2011 (see here for piccis). It is loosely plaited down one side and gathered in a low messy bun at the back with loose curls around my face. Could have turned out better but I ended up rushing it! 

Also, as I said I would report on the trial of the red lipstick. It's actually a tint gloss from Maybelline called Super Stay 10h Tint Gloss for £6.99 in Endless Ruby. However, 10h stay time is extremely generous if you plan on actually drinking during that time, otherwise it stayed put. The colour was nice and rich too but it did have to be applied a few times. Considering I never have colour on my lips and if I do it's barely noticeable, this was a shock for a bit but I have to say, I do like it! 

Anyway, I am now right in the middle of revision/exams until 13th June so I'll apologise in advance if posts become a bit haphazard again! And now I've just realised it's 16.30 and I have definitely spent more time right this post this afternoon than I have on revision... My queue to go I think! x
