oh my gosh, I LOVE this one:


But is it something you'd have for year 12 formal? My dress isn't that formal, and although I love that hair, I don't think the entire look stands out very much :(

If I can't think of anything different, and neither can the hairdresser lady, i'll just get this look

hehehe

I just popped the shoe in my freezer this morning. Stupid dog woke me up :cry:
Starts barking at a tree. Jesus christ.

Now that i think about it, it's totally legit. Water expands when frozen, and it'll force the shoe to expand too! Hope doing this doesn't damage the shoe though. Oh well.

I think with your dress an updo would be really pretty - like nothing too over the top, but simple and pretty like: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JRRAXDguk...prom+updos+for+medium+length+hair+%283%29.jpg or http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kwork7JQJ...AOE/xbxaaO_YdgA/s1600/39444-lauren_conrad.jpg
okay those links look weird, hopefully they work :S

Goodluck :)

I don't think a side bun would suit me. I was considering... half up half down. But yeah, who knows :p

Do you guys have ideas for dresses?

ann your dress is nice
and have your hair down and simple accessories b/c your dress is pretty leggy and sparkly

no offence but I've always found glittery heels (also metallic heels) tacky, but that's just my opinion i'm sure it'll look amazeballs

my hair?

Yes.

I've already planned how I'm curling my hair and I'm not changing for you bby gurl
lol no ann and her asian hair. the texture of asian hair is really different and unless it's dyed and really straw-ey i always thought it was difficult to get curls to stay in ???

see imagine how much better this girl would look if she had a sleek high-ish ponytail and subtle cats eyes with liquid or gel liner for eye make up:

Love it!

My friends wanted something similiar too, but dayum dat price tag :cry:


will your hair hold the curls well enough, though, to last the entire night/morning?
I had curls in year 10, and it held with a shit load of hairspray. My hair is pretty dead, so i'm sure whatever they do to it, it'll stay in

tbh, I wasn't sure about the shoes too. My friend thought I needed something sparkly because my dress was black and sorta plain. I have a pair of plain black heels I could wear alternatively though
