Perfect for Prom

My Prom will be in less than two months. While I have a dress that I'm 50% sure that I will wear, it won't hurt too look for some Prom dress inspirations. :D

I remember watching this episode of Gossip Girl and simply falling in love with Blair's whole look. She definitely fits as Prom Queen especially in the arms of Nate, the Prom King. Her dress is so marvelous! It's Marchesa so meaning not only is it One-of-a-kind and you won't run into anyone wearing the same dress like ever, it's damn expensive. Sigh. I wish I was a made-up Rich Upper East Side High School Queen Bee like Blair.

Jenny wears the best outfits in Gossip Girl(especially in the latter seasons) so it's no surprise that I really loved this dress on her from Andrew Gn. When I first saw it, it made my jaw drop. It was breathtaking and unique and very Jenny so that means it's very me(minus the social climbing and losing my virginity to Chuck Bass part).

Her whole look in her Cotillion ball was also fantastic. Love the mixture of the romantic and formal black dress and her tough leather hand gloves. My dress in prom is also this formal black dress that falls above the ankles and probably I might steal Jenny's look here.

Anne Hathaway in the Les Miserable premiere. One word: WOW. The black Tom Ford Gown and shoes. OMG. THE SHOES! I would totally wear that. Her look is sexy without the bastos factor, which is perfect for prom. It's like she has this huge injury in the leg that has black bandages wrapped around it, but gorge nonetheless. BONUS: I MIGHT HELP OUT IN CLEANING AFTER THE PROM THANKS TO THAT GARBAGE BAG ON THE BACK OF THAT DRESS. ;D

 

Kate Blanchett in Alexander McQueen. Very futuristic and unusual which I think is great for Prom. I don't know how you can sit in that, but the length and cut of this is great for dancing the whole night long. Imagine if my date(if ever I have one!)twirls me while I'm wearing this. Talo pa ang Disco ball sa akin!

Kate Middleton in Jenny Packham. My darling Blair also wore a dress similar to this in an episode of GG but I loved this look on Kate better. It looks so beautiful. She's so beautiful. And the hair and makeup is a complete contrast to the sparkly pink and silver oeverload of the dress because it's natural and effortless.

 Confession: It's like this secret dream of mine to wear a tux to Prom or any event that screams ballgowns. No. I am not lesbo. I just think the androgyny of wearing a suit is perfect for me because it's so unusual and modern. This classic Le Smoking jacket and trousers from Yves Saint Laurent is the one I had in mind.(Wala lang. Waiter lang ang peg)

That, or something like Kim Kardashian's here.

New Year

Whenever a New Year comes, I always look back at what I did the whole year. Did I improve for the better or the worse? Where there events that just struck me hard? Did I meet anyone who affected me somehow?

Most especially, I ask myself did my life change in some way?

I always hate looking back at this year with what-ifs. There were things that happened to me that I never wanted to happen. There were things I did that I wish I never did and there were things I said I wish I never said.

I hate looking back at every mistake because I know I would never go back in time and make them over.

But the New Year means new possibilities. It means I have the chance to make myself a better person than I was in 2012.

I should stop thinking about all the bad stuff of 2012 and instead cherish the good memories. Stuff—whether grand or simple—worth looking back at with a smile and thinking, “Hey, 2012 wasn’t bad after all.”

Happy New Year, guise. :)
