Oscars Themed Party Preparation



So in just over a week i am going to an Oscar themed party. Im so excited i actually cant wait. It will actually be so much fun. This party also gives me an excuse to proper glam up and i love those occasions. So i found out about the party last week and ever since i had been on a hunt for an amazing dress. I tried everywhere online (new look, simply be, yours, very, curvety, h&m and forever 21) finally i found 2 dresses i loved. The first was a blue one shouldered dress from ASOS curve. The other a beige and cream style prom dress from Evans. I wasnt sure about the ASOS dress as sometimes i find their sizing a bit of a hit or a miss (LET ME KNOW IF YOU EXPERIENCED THIS TOO) so i went to order the Evans dress only to find that my size had sold out... gutted. Fortunately i saw a new dress that was a similar style only white with black spots. So it arrived today and i love it. I have put a picture of the dress on its own and one with it styled with a belt. I think the belted dress looks much better as it breaks the dress up a little bit. Im also looking to make a tulle underskirt to make it more puffy. I will put up a picture in the next blog post when i have added the underskirt.

Now im off to try and find a hairstyle idea and i need to decide what to do with my make up. i will blog again soon
