When I got an invite for a family friend who was having a rock/prom party to celebrate a host of celebrations this year which had happened - a 50th Birthday, an 18th birthday and a 16th birthday all in the space of a few months - I knew I was going straight down the prom theme. I did briefly look at the rock side but who doesn't want the excuse to don a pretty dress and heels?
In the last few years, I have accumulated some lovely dresses what with one for my 18th, 2 lots of graduation and various weddings and parties I had a few to choose from. However yesterday when on the morning of the party I finally decided to sort out what I was going to wear I was shocked to find that 3 or 4 of my dresses were wayyyyyyy to big! Including one I brought at christmas I have only had on once! Heres what I went with...
What do you think about customising your clothes? Have you ever adding in a bit of detail to make something jazzed up a little??

Dress - New Look - £12 in the sale around Christmas
Tiara - Claires Accessories - £2.50 in the sale
Bracelets - Peacocks - £4
Necklace - Primark - *I think* around £3
I brought this dress back at christmas and I have only worn it once. When I brought it the piece of lace you can see across the chest wasn't included - it was something I added in (or rather my Nanna sewed in for me) and I think really adds something to just a plain LBD. I teamed it with my old faithful glittery heals which I love and are perfect for dancing the night away! I stole the below photo from when I wore them a few months ago but just so you can see them!
Ok so all you lovely observant people will have noticed that today is December 1st which means that christmas is just around the corner! I have seen quite a few people sharing christmas wish lists on their blogs. Heres some of my current wish list - not necessarily for christmas but in general :)
1. Some proper make up brushes - Obviously I have make up brushes that I have aquired over the years but I have asked Santa for a proper set of make up brushes :)
2. A new purse - I love these Kate Spade ones and Santa is getting me a new handbag for christmas - a lovely spotty one (in the style of the Cath Kidston satchel) so a new purse would be good
3. Killer Party Heels - I recently started to get into wearing heels. I have some gorge ones already but I do love these Kate Spade ones which I saw in a magazine but at nearly £300 I think these are out :P
4. OPI Rainbow Connection - I have seen quite a few blog posts from people who have brought this and can see myself ordering this on ebay before christmas gets here - since I dont know anywhere local that stocks OPI.
5. Glossy Box - Again I have seen a lot of people blogging about this and am half tempted to try but at the moment with money being tight I cant really afford the £10 a month. Maybe in the new year.
6. Vintage Poloriod Camera - Now I LOVE my SLR camera but I have a bit of a soft spot for Poloriods.
7. KitchenAid Mixer - I am currently saving for one of these from the money I make selling cakes. It may take a while but I seriously love them and want one
8. Make Up Storage - As I said Santa is bringing me a new handbag and I need a new bag for my handbag to keep my bits in, in my bag when I am out and about. Also a bigger bag for my at home makeup as the one I have at the moment is quite small. I love these from Soap and Glory and Ted Baker from Boots.
