So November is coming to an end. I just have no idea where
this year has gone seriously! But I am super excited about Christmas and
enjoying December!
Now November is coming to a close, it meant it was the
Elektra Awards time! I most likely spent too long planning this event, and as I
reviewed in a previous post I ordered 11 dresses in preparation for it! However if there is a time to GLAM up then why not take advantage of it!
I picked a dress I really adored although I was a little
worried it was going to be ‘too’ much but decided to wear it. So I was super
excited about that and also to have my hair done professionally. My sister
offered to do it for me, but alas she doesn’t seem to be great with hair haha!
She very generously paid for a hair dresser to do it so I was really looking
forward to that.
My hair was book at 14:30 so I headed home at just gone
13:00 and jumped in the shower and waited for Sarah to pick me up. I have already
sorted out my nails and got all my accessories ready to go!
I really enjoyed having my hair done and I was amazed at the
end result, it looked stunning and was surprisingly secure. So secure in fact I
slept in and wore it to work the next day.
Sarah came back and helped me get ready, I did my make-up, I
went for a smoky eye with gold glitter and nude glitter lip gloss. I had to
pick Matt up as his bike is broken and he wanted to see be all glammed up
before I went off.
Sarah then very kindly dropped me at the station as it was
raining and off I went! We ended up all running late so we didn’t stop for
drinks on the way as planned but got to the venue at about 18:30.
The evening then flew by, we have a lovely fancy dinner,
Robin Ince did the entertainment and presented the awards and then the after
dinner entertainment started. I had lots of wine and tried the Vodka luge, so I
was suitably jolly and I danced the evening away.
We also took advantage of the photo booth which is always so
much fun and goes down a storm. I have no idea where the time went but before I
knew it, it was 1am and our taxi was outside ready to drop us all home.
I got some many compliments on my dress and hair, I was
feeling very swish and I got a real confidence boost! I’m so glad I kept the
dress once I got there I didn’t feel out of place at all!
I eventually rolled in at 2:30am and got to bed at 3am. I
did not sleep well and safe to say the next day was a struggle.
Even getting to work late and treating myself to a McDonalds
breakfast didn’t seem to help!
I am feeling much less delicate today and looking forward to
partying next week at the Christmas party! WOO!
