On Nov 11 2011 I competed in Syracuse University's version of American Idol and competed for the #1 singer in the school, (and I made it to the Top 10!) and I looked FABULOUS doing it! You can watch my performance here: http://vimeo.com/31769673

Dress
My Dress was a simple nude silk with a sheer cover, "V" neckline, and flattering waistline pulls, from The Gap ($69.99 - but got it on sale for $20!) Nude is very in right now! Everything from the dresses to nail polish is trending.
  TIP: If you're looking to add a step of High Fashion to any look try painting your nails that skin tone color. It's a small step for those who might not be comfortable taking fashion risks.
 
Shoes
Also from The Gap ($65), they're a combination of suede and cork, the suede being the strappy part of the sandal, and the cork is the wedge heel. The are so beautiful, and I wear them all the time. The are so comfy (even if they are about 5 in)!

Hair
I straightened my hair with my roommates CHI straightener and put Aussie Frizz Free spray in so my precious locks wouldn't fry in the heat! Middle part which is a switch up for me because I usually do the side part.
  TIP: It's actually very good to switch up the part once in a while because it keeps your scalp healthy! If you're to nervous about trying a middle part (lord knows I was) try it when you go to the gym when people don't really care what anyone looks like, and it might grow on you like it did for me!

Makeup
 
Eyes 
  I used Maybelline New York Eye Studio in Give me me gold. I swept the lightest shade from my lash line to underneath my brow, and then I just mixed the other colors together on my lid. I don't really have a system for eye make up, I know people tell you exactly how to do it, but my makeup basically looks the same every time i do it, but I do it differently every time so I really don't know how to explain it lol! But I do know that I made my look more dramatic with liquid eyeliner on the top lid. a swift sweep across the lid with NYC Liquid Eyeliner, helped amp up my look. Then a little Lash Stiletto Mascara to give me a polished look was all it took. 

Bronzer
I used a big soft brush to apply my wet&wild MegaBronze bronzer on my cheeks, it gave a great look from the stage!

Nail Polish
I used a Brick Red color for my nails by Revlon (it was from their Quick Dry Collection, but I'm not sure of the actual name).

Accessories

A simple jade colored jewel necklace from Forever 21, ($4.80) my roommate's enamel bracelet (Thanks Katie!), and my fake pearl earrings ($7.00 Target) were the only accessories I really wore, nothing to over the top! I wanted them to focus on my singing! LOL

Thanks for reading everyone!

 

Dress
So I wore this beautiful sunray Calvien Klein floor length gown with a golden waist band for prom! The waist was completely covered with gold sequins. There was a rouging/pleating pattern on the bust. The neckline was a suprisingly flattering halter top with cross straps in the back....
It's my favorie gown I've ever worn and I'm sooo happy with how it turned outt! :)

I would have uploaded other pics but kaboodle wanted pics under 2 MG.. :( so these were the only 3 I could upload!

Shoes
The shoes were a show in themselves...
golden peep toe pumps by steve madden, were ON SALEE at the Steve Madden store in the Providence Place Mall for  $22.24!!!!!!! yeahhhh boyyyyyyyy!
I was so "pumped" about that lol... (ik bad joke hahaha)

Make-up
Bronzer: I used Physician's Formula for lighter skin bronzer, but I alsoo used this crazy stuff from my cruise I went on called SunKissed bronzer... It was really successful in getting rid of my farmer's tan from lax hahahahaha

Lips: Netrogena lip gloss in pale pink

Eye Shadow: Cover girl eyeshadow... idk the name of it, but it was the one that had four colors and told you where to put it... yah you know the one I'm talking about ;)
