Last night I attended my leavers prom with the rest of my year, which was held at our school. It was the final event (other than results day) with everyone getting together, so it was definitely a bit emotional at times. Although we were a bit wary of it being held at our school, the place was decorated so nicely with lots of fairy lights and drapes, which made for a stunning setting. From the free bar to the amazing fireworks display (our prom is the best), it was a great night overall and I'm going to miss everyone so much!
I chose a dress from Boohoo, as it was quite inexpensive but still really pretty, and I loved the sequins on the front. With this, I wore a pair of black strappy heels from New Look, a clutch from H&M (I didn't photograph this but it did feature in this previous blog post) and a Barry M Nail Paint in Coconut. I did my hair and make-up myself and kept things fairly simple, with a sparkly brown eye and a nude lip. I curled my hair using straighteners and pinned a couple of pieces back. I really liked how this all turned out, and it just goes to show that you don't always need everything to be professionally done!
Have you had a prom this year?
Daytime outfit - Topshop dress, New Look bag, Boohoo pumps and Mark Milton necklace and bracelet.
Evening outfit - Topshop dress, Topshop shoes, New Look clutch and Mark Milton necklace and bracelet.
I was recently given the opportunity to share Mark Milton's jewellery range with you, and so I thought it was best to show how I would personally wear them, incorporating different pieces into both a daytime and evening outfit for winter. Mark Milton produces a range of fine gold jewellery, including necklaces, earrings, pendants and bracelets.
Because of the jewellery being quite formal, I decided to go for a fairly dressy daytime outfit, however I do think you could also wear the pieces with something more casual. For both outfits I chose quite simple but classic clothes which I think works well with the jewellery. For the daytime one, I picked a simple burgundy dress and paired it with a black bag and black shoes. I also chose fairly simple pieces of jewellery to go with it. For the evening outfit, I picked another Topshop dress, this time a monochrome one. I paired it with a gorgeous pair of heels and a black clutch, which has small amounts of gold to go with the jewellery. For the jewellery, I chose two matching pieces, both of which are quite statement and so would be the main focus of the outfit.
Overall, I really like Mark Milton jewellery, my favourite pieces of theirs probably being their necklaces, which you can see here. Although they're not really in my usual budget, I think they would make perfect gifts for family and friends!
