Graduation!

Last night marked the end of an era. It was my high school graduation. One chapter of my life closed as the celebrations commenced, and another chapter began as the night ended. But what is a graduation without the glitz and the glamour? You all know me well by now, and how much I love everything to do with fashion, hence why I decided to share every element of my outfit with you all.

Dress:

I have never worn a completely red dress before, and to be completely honest, red has never been my colour. This changed when I saw this stunning Alex Perry Tiffany gown. I knew I had to try it on, as it was everything I had dreamed of in a dress and as soon as I did so I thought, "Wow, Alex Perry makes a good red dress".

Seeing as I could not find my size anywhere in Melbourne, I had the gown flown in from the Flagship store in Sydney, and lucky I did because these babies were difficult to find! I had the dress, and now I had to find all the right accessories to match!

Shoes:

If you follow me on Instagram (_chelsealiz) you may recognise the nude patent heels I wear with most of my outfits. These are Christian Louboutin 12cm pumps that I absolutely adore. While the shoes were expensive, I can honestly say I get so much wear out of them and that they are the comfiest high heels I own! Not only that, but they are also quite durable. The fact that I went to a busy night club not long ago wearing them, and they still look brand new is testament to this!

Jewellery:

In terms of jewellery, I wore a pair of Chanel costume pearl studs. I chose these as they are quite large and bold, and wanted to have some fun with the look I wanted to achieve. I also wore a simple gold ring, but avoided any other pieces of jewellery to adhere to the cliché, "Less is more". 

Hair and Makeup:

I wore my hair in a messy ponytail as I opted for something simple, seeing as I wanted the dress to steal the show. In order to do this I also kept my makeup quite simple, and used Napoleon products. My eyes were kept very basic and plain, with light eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner. I then wanted to go for the 'Red on Red' look and therefore wore a Napoleon red lipstick. 

I am so happy I got to celebrate such a great event with such amazing company, and cannot believe that the high school part of my life is over. I wish all of my peers and any other graduates around the world, the best for whatever the future may hold.

Shanghai Suzy Lipsticks

I love lipstick and when I say I love it, I mean it. It can turn a plain and simple outfit into something fun and daring.  For some reason though, so many lipsticks that I purchase never stay on for the whole time I wear them (either that, or they dry up my lips).

Above: Shanghai Suzy lipstick 'Miss Courtney Electric Flamingo', $12.95  

It was only a few months ago that my beautician started selling Shanghai Suzy, and being the lipstick aficionado I am, I decided to purchase one. I could not believe how great the lipstick was. It lasted all day, it kept my lips moist AND it smelled amazing (like the Smiggle textas I loved in my primary school days).

Do you know what I love the MOST about these beauties? Shanghai Suzy lipsticks are not tested on animals nor contain any animal- derived ingredients. Not to mention that each individual lipstick is only $12.95. That means that you can look great, without spending $30 on a lipstick that gives you cracked lips and that you need to reapply every half an hour.

The End of an Era

You may be all wondering where I have been for the past few months... Under a rock? Not exactly. For the past month I have been studying for my VCE examinations- examinations that mark the end of high school life. As of yesterday I am completely free and am now excited to return to the blogging world!

Seeing as I have not had the chance to yet, I thought I would share with you all what my friends and I dressed up as for what is known as 'Muck Up Day'. For those of you that do not know what 'Muck Up Day' is, it is a day where students have the opportunity to dress up and celebrate their last official day of school before examinations begin. This year, my friends and I decided to dress up as Rydell High Cheerleaders from Grease. The day was quite fun, and a good excuse to dress up and enjoy ourselves. 

While there were many costumes available online, we decided to put together the outfits ourselves, seeking items from different stores. The skirts, for example, are from ASOS, the t-shirts are Bonds and the Rydell High logo was bought via Ebay. For the neck scarves we bought material from Spotlight, and for my shoes I wore a white pair of Lipstick platform runners with white socks.
