Prom! "A Touch of Class" 2013

My wonderful prom date, Ryan!

Such a pretty corsage!

Two of my lab partners from class! Love them to death.

One of my lab partners, Will.

After months of dress shopping, hair planning, and money saving...I finally went to prom! Our theme was "A Touch of Class."
I had such an amazing time. My date was wonderful, the food was great, the dancing was fun, and seeing all of my senior class come together and look amazing was such a cool thing!

My school has an after-prom called Bahama Bash, from 12am-6am, where you and your date dress up in couples costumes. Ryan and I dressed up as Danny and Sandy from Grease (I wish I had pictures to post- it was so fun) and even though it was hard to stay awake, we had a great time! You would not believe the amount of food and prizes at BB. I wound up with a new coffee maker, a laptop lap desk, and $150 credit for a photography company (and about 10 extra pounds from all the food I ate while I was there!).
I had such a great time, and it was an incredible way to start the home stretch of senior year!!

As for my dress/hair/makeup, I went for an "old hollywood glamour" look, and I love the way it turned out!
What are you guys doing for hair/makeup and what do your dresses look like for prom? :')

striped saturday

After having to deal with losing an hour of sleep from daylight savings + coming back to school after spring break, I am exhausted. This has felt like the longest week ever.  We finished our second to last issue of the school newspaper, prom is getting stressful, I'm rushing to finish scholarship applications, and it just feels like everything is all happening at once! I thought second semester of senior year was supposed to be easy....whoever said that is a liar.
I'm really and truly sorry for slacking a bit on blogging. I'm trying to pick up the pace a bit :')

For everyone who's just starting Spring Break, enjoy! And for those of you still trying to recover from SB like me, get some rest this weekend!!

Hey, everyone! I'm sorry I've been so MIA lately- I've been stuffing my nose into so many good books lately that I nearly forgot I had a blog with awesome followers to keep up with! Forgive me!
A short little update on what's been going on in the past week or two with me: I got asked to prom (yay!), our 3rd issue of my school's newspaper came out, I've started blogging for a new website (I'll give you more info once my posts are up!), I opened up a little online shop, and I've successfully replaced 2+ hours a day that I used to spend on the internet with spending time with The Lord, instead!
I hope all of you guys are doing well! Are any of you guys going crazy searching for a prom dress like me?!
