Princess for one day - A Prom Wishlist/Inspiration...

Hello!
The next few months are probably going to be the most exciting and terrifying times ever. I don't exaggerate when I mention the dreaded A Level exams, choosing University places, flying the nest on my first girls holiday, and the all important leavers prom...

Today's post is something a little different.. In June, I'll be joining teenage girls around Europe in fulfilling the chaos that is Prom preparation! I have to admit, being princess for one night is rather exciting (if I manage not to fall over my dress/spill something down it/get it caught in a door..). I'm hoping to organise myself early, so today's post is a little 'how I'm getting on' inspiration post!

I recently received an email from Dressale.com asking me to take a look at their prom dresses, in hope of creating a wish list of my favourites. This was a lot harder that I first anticipated - because I can officially say I LOVED EVERY DRESS! So, to make it a little easier, I've created my own personal 'wishlist' with some inspiration for your own dresses too!


For my little wish list, I put together a little outfit which I thought was pretty, elegant and a little cheeky with an open back. I wouldn't personally choose the colour on them model, as I'd proffer a dark purple colour, as I feel it would make the white top details stand out further. To complement I chose an embroidered clutch and sequin heels!

To check out the dress for yourself click here: http://www.dressale.com/gorgeous-floorlength-prom-dress-with-delicately-embroidered-bodice-and-cutout-back-p-89688.html


Below are a few other dresses, that really caught my eye. I love how different styles of dresses fall - from the mermaid cut (which falls from the knee's) to the gathered bust (which falls much higher). I also love how Dressale offers a range of colours - all the dresses below come in several colours to suit your own preferences! Personally, I like darker colours (otherwise I look even paler) so would definitely find picking my own colour of dress useful!


If your interested in co-operating with me over the next few months, I'll hopefully be posting lots more inspiration for school proms and leaver's balls, so please drop me an email at: blondiesstylefix@live.co.uk. Also, If you had your prom in the last 12 months, or already have your dress for this year, let me know as I'd love to hear from you! 

That's all from me now, I'll shut myself off from looking at dresses for the rest of my evening, to watch the next episodes of Call The Midwife, and Mr Selfridge (hooray)!

Lots of Love,

Thank God it's the weekend! X

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllo!
It's been nearly a week since my last post, and haven't I been dying for the weekend!
I'm currently sitting in bed with a hot water bottle, and blanket :(
Everything's going to be hectic the next few weeks - so here's my warning in advance.
I've got so much going on, but my highlight has to be singing at the Schools Prom with Music for Youth, at Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday next week! I'm more than excited, as I've never been to the Royal Albert Hall, and it's a dream to be singing on the stage alongside my choir buddies!

Were singing: Somebody to love, and Rent - I'll Cover You (which were singing with a deaf choir, who will be signing with us - it makes my heart melt!).

I'm being very lazy this weekend, I've got a pile of articles that are already behind schedule (thanks to last weeks firework celebrations) that I need to finish. So it's a weekend in for me!

As I haven't had chance to create a half decent post (shall ensure I do later!) , I'm currently going mad with my camera and laptop, so bear with me! :)

Speak Soon!
Lots of Love,

Blondie X
