Blogmas Day 12: Getting Ready For My Christmas Ball

Hey Guys!

⭐Welcome to Day Twelve of Blogmas ⭐

Before leaving uni for the Christmas holidays our Media Society at Newcastle University held a Christmas Ball for us to have fun, drink some wine, eat lots of food and see everyone before we all go home.

We went to a lovely place called As You Like It in Jesmond, had canapes, the best tempura prawns I've ever had and lots of wine. Getting to see everyone and catch up was lovely especially as we hadn't seen each other much with all of our assignments and deadlines!

I decided to go for a simple look for the ball, a simple outfit but then dress it up with earrings and shoes. So, I chose an outfit that wasn't very dressy and then chose big statement earrings and bright matching shoes to make it more fancy for the evening ❤

Hair

To get my hair curly I used the Remington C152WO Curl Create Ceramic Hair Curling Wand and then sectioned my hair off with a clip bit by bit. Starting with the underlayer of my hair and doing tight curls and then moving on to the top layer of my hair last. But unfortunately, I didn't have any hairspray and nobody had any I could borrow so, unfortunately, my hair dropped and didn't stay very curly. So, next time I need to make sure I have bought hairspray before an event so I can ensure my hair stays how I want. 

Outfit

Dress - New Look (£13)

Earrings - H&M (originally for £8.99 and I got them for £3!) 

Shoes - Primark (£12.99)

Unfortunately, you can't see my shoes in this OOTN picture, and I can't find one properly showing my shoes so I'll include a group photo and you'll get an idea of what they are like haha!
