PROM.

Hello my loves,

I'm going to keep this intro short because I don't think this post needs much explaining My prom was on Friday night, and it was just lovely. Our transport was fab, the venue was  fab and everyone honestly looked stunning. 

Dress- Dusk till dawn

Shoes- New look

Bag- Next

Ring and bracelet- Pandora

Earrings- My granny's

Necklace- My mum's

Ahh, the dress! I have been wanting to show you all my choice for the evening for so long. I bought my one in a relatively local store in olney called Dusk till Dawn. As soon as I tried it on I knew I'd found the dress I loved to bits. I just adore the shape of it, I think the way it falls is so flattering and the little pleats at the back are so pretty. I obviously love the sparkly bodice too! I think the fact that it has pink, silver and rose gold tones to it makes it nice and interesting. I found the sweetheart neckline flattering despite not having the most going on in the bust department!

My shoes are from New Look, now this picture does them no justice what so ever, but each of the little gem-y bits are iridescent (like my earrings and bag) and caught the light so beautifully. I kept my accessories on the theme of silver, pearls and the two-tones gems. As you can see, the heel is pretty high, but because it has the platform at the front, they were actually ok to walk in, I like that they are not too chunky either.

Me and my mum were looking through some of my granny's jewelry boxes, and as soon as I saw these I knew they would be perfect- I must have actually yelped with excitement!

I got my nails done for the first time for prom, I can see why it would get addictive! I went for french manicure gels with a top coat that has the tiniest amount of glitter. I will be interesting to see how long they last, it should be two to three weeks, I don't know if I can have have them the same for that long though! My clutch is from Next and I had enough room to bring all the essentials, that being my phone, little camera, powder and brush, lip-gloss and money, plus a few rouge Polaroid pictures! The sparkles on this bag match that of my shoes exactly, I was really lucky to find something that matched so well.

This necklace was a gift to my mum from one of her friends, how gorgeously delicate is it? It broke up the space between my neck and the dress perfectly, whilst also running with the pearl theme. 

I also wore my Pandora ring and bracelet, they always make me feel so well put together when I wear them both! 

I had my makeup done at the YSL counter in Debenhams was such a nice experience! The lady doing my makeup was so lovely, even though she was totally rushed off her feet! We went for a gold smokey eye, and peach cheeks and lips. 

I had my hair put up in the hairdressers as well, it's actually quite different to what I had in mind, but I think it does look super pretty at the back! We got the little hairpins from the dress shop and they are literally the exact same colour to the dress. You can see the low back it has here too, I love the pleats so much. 

We had the most amazing transport! We were actually struggling to find anything, so this really way a gem. We found it through the Vintage Limousine hire, if you live in the Bucks/Beds are I would totally recommenced them, our driver took us for a spin for a while and put up with I whooping and/ore screaming every time someone waved back at us. 

How beautiful do my girls look?! It was just lovely seeing my whole year dressed up, and I have to say,we scrub up rather well! 

All in all it was such an amazing night, the prom was fab, the after party so fun and I after that me and one of the besties stayed up talking until seven; it was perfect! 

What do you think of my prom outfit? Have you had your prom yet?

Review: Lush Star light, Star Bright bath melt.

Hello my loves, I hope your all alright. 

It was my first day back at school today after a blissful two weeks off and I really wish I was still on holiday! Things are going to get tougher now in terms of classwork and revision, but I am determined to make the best of it (see my 14 goals for 2014!)

During the holiday's I deiced to use the `Star light, Star Bright` bath melt form Lush which I received in two gift sets at Christmas;

As you can see, it's pretty glittery; this put me off a bit initially (no one likes having to scrub a bath out after using something) but that silver was quickly gone after running it under the tap  and I was left with a cream star with a chunk of blue in it, so pretty!

 It has a faintly Lemsip smell about it at first (which just for the record I cannot stand, I would rather have the worst cold ever than drink on of those things) but that settled into a far more lemon meringue scent which I adore and made a change to the usual very sweet bath products I use . 

This isn't the most spectacular Lush products, but the white foam and glitter was lovely, although I did resemble Edward Cullen for a bit after my bath, I can't say I minded :) I think this is specifically a Christmas product, but I'm sure you can buy it all year round so I would definitely repurchase. 

Have you tried this bath melt? Do you like the look of it?

Top five: The Glitter polishes.

Hello everyone, I hope your enjoying Christmas Eve eve! 

This is my last post before the 25th, so it's only fitting that it's suitability festive! These are my top five glitter polish picks and hopefully, something for everyone.

`The Topcoat glitter`- Barry M `244 Hologram` 

This polish is perfect for adding some extra glitz to any shade, I love it over black and turquoise blue, but really it will compliment anything! I adore how the little holographic hexagons catch the light, you can see in the picture above that they go all sorts of goregous colours as well as their silver base. 

`The Bargain glitter`- Angelica `Love you 40`

If you read my Beauty Bargains post, you might remember this stunner, and the best part? It cost me all of 50p! Rightfully titled `the bargain`polish I think. The actual shade wonderful , I love the rich berry pink and it looks so goregous on. These are available in Primark in a multitude of colours so I might have to pick up some more!

`The multi-glitter`- La Femme Beauty `Ocean`

I do love a good multi- glitter, this one is a mix of royal blue, aqua blue, silver and a sea green. This is the perfect antidote to your standard one shade glitter and I love it to bits. `Ocean` is fab as a topcoat, accent nail or as a full on glitter.

`The trend glitter`- Look Beauty `Bling`

We all know rose gold has been huge this year, and on the nails this sparkles as gorgeously as any Micheal Kors watch! I'm wearing this right now and its is so lovely, it's actually quite textured which I heart and it is perfect for a glam Christmas manicure. 

`The showstopping glitter`- Topshop `Razzmatazz`

Finally, an all time favourite of mine, Topshop's `Razzmatazz. Look at it. You can see it on the nails over on my Instagram page, and you guys seemed to like it too! This is just my perfect all round glitter; holographic particles, different sized chunks of glitter, not too hard to remover, plus it doesn't break the bank, yay! 

I love all of these glitters, which one is your favourite? 

I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful day. How I'm going to sleep tomorrow night I just don't know! 

Life through my lens #4.

Hello everyone, I hope you're well, The big day is quickly approaching, but I thought I'd do a catch up post to fill you in with what's been going down in There's something about Alice land.

Stunning sunset from my Grandma's house in Wales// Obligatory festive Starbucks (Salted Caramel was a let down)// My city center is so pretty at the moment// Dumbo+Stitch = far too adorable// Big salady lunches are the best//  Choosing the tree of 2013// My little Christmas display in my room, it reminds me of the John Lewis ad :) // If you can't wear glitter at Christmas then when can you?// Face of the day posing (post here!)

Don't forget to follow me on Instagram!

I do like writing these posts, it give me a second to stop, write and really appreciate how lucky I am, especially at Christmas, I think it's at this time that we really need to be thankful for what we have and help others :) I am getting incredibly excited now, tomorrow I am going to be doing lots of baking and more Christmas film watching (standard)

I hope your all happy and healthy, let me know what you've been up to lately! 

Putting my defenses up, because I don't want to fall in love.

OOTD #12

Hi dolls,
 This is what I wore on Thursday to watch the Great Gatsby (amazing film!). I really wish I had a flapper dress, dripping with embellishment and jewels to wear, and a cute cloche hat to effortlessly throw on, but sadly, my 21st century wardrobe let me down *sigh*. So I just had to make do with what I know best; a crop top and skater skirt!

 Earrings-Miss selfridge
Crop top- Primark
Necklace-Accessorize
Watch- Olivia Burton
Skirt- Primark
Tights- Tesco
Nike Blazers- Office

This outfit is buy no means groundbreaking, but I really like the overall look :)

This is definitely my new favourite necklace, its just perfect for jazzing up plain tops and popping undershirts to peak out of the collar.

I wanted a change from my converses for this outfit (shock horror!), do I decided to wear my Nike blazers, as I thought the khaki would complement the purple on my lips and my skirt nicely, and just make everything a bit more casual :)

Obviously, this wouldn't be one of my outfits without my beloved Olivia Burton watch :).

My nails didn't really go with my outfit which bugs me (yup I'm weird like that) but I really like them none the less. I used a new Maybelline shade from the color show collection (that's the milky pink shade) and Look beauty polish in `Bling` for the glitter :)

My make up was actually pretty experimental for me! Notice the lack of winged-liner? ;) I used my favourite scadaleyes shadow stick in Bulletproof beige and the MUA undress me too pallet on my eyes, of course with a generous flick of mascara. I also applied a slick of an MUA lipstcik in the shade 2, I really wish it had a name! 

My OOTD's will be outside again once the weather perks up (famous last words...) so I hope you don't mind my bedroom in the background!

The Great Gatsby was such an amazing film; the acting was perfect, the music wonderful and the costumes literally to die for! If you are stuck for something to do next weekend for whenever, go and see it!

In other news, it was my first day back at school today *boo* so I wont be able to post as frequently this week, but I will try my very best!

Have you seen the Great Gatsby? What do you think of my outfit?
