This is how i wore my hair last night, i intended to wear it down but it was stressing me out far too much by the time we were ready to go after a few home made cocktails. So, i wacked it up on top of my head and fanned it out. My hair is so so thick that it tends to stay up where i want it. A few sprays of hairspray later and this was the result.
Also, i will just mention that the top belongs to a friend but is from Topshop, as is my double feather ring, and the bracelets are the same as were featured in my recent post.
Hope everyone is well, i'm hungover - again. Being a student is far too much fun.

Hello Brunette

Goodbye caramel coloured hair.
I've gone back to my natural locks & so far so good, i'm loving life as a brunette.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Sunday Up Do.

Goldilocks.

Photobooth isn't very good at showing up the colour under electric lights, so hopefully i'll be able to show you properly once it is day light again :)

I couldn't have waited over night though..

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Happy Hair.

♥

Just a quick post before i jump in the bath. I want to share with you all how happy i am with my hair, and how happy my hair is with me, since i started using Aussie products regularly. I used to pinch my big sisters Aussie conditioner years ago when we used to live together (let's hope she doesn't read this) but have recently started buying and using the shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner & hair masks - and it's love :)

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :)

Flowers & a chunky braid.

Just a quick outfit and hair of the evening post :)

Top - Topshop

Black Leggings - H&M

Black Tube Top - Miss Selfridge

Highlights in the sunshine.

I had my hair highlighted again last month & got some much lighter shades put through for the summer, which have now turned even lighter thanks to the lovely sunshine we've been having recently! Here are a couple of snapsies!

I'm liking it lots at the moment, good colour for going out in the sunshine! & i've been playing around with some different lipstick colours as well. I bought "Up The Amp" by MAC yesterday, it's quite dark for daytime, but i wore it mixed with GOSH "Darling" to tone it down a bit & fell totally in love. Have any of you tried it?

I don't want to be a punkrocker, but i do have flowers in my hair.

Today i picked up these flower clips, they are by babyliss in boots and cost me five pounds. I've never bought accessories from boots before, but these caught my eye and matched my lipstick so i bought them.

It doesn't look a whole lot different in this poorly taken photobooth picture - but i've had some lighter blondes put in my hair around the front and underneath so that it is 'lifted' around my face and looks lighter when it is put up. I love the way that my hairdresser, Nick, has done it this time. I have some really light ash blondes through the front of my hair, perfect for summer! I will try and get a more flattering picture of it soon for you all to see.

Hope everyone is well! xxx

A Little Easter Update.

Hai hai haiiii pretties!

Hope everybody is having a lovely easter weekend. It's my mum's birthday today, so i have been spoiling her all day, very tiring! I took her out for coffee/cakes this morning, which were baked by the queen's cake maker!?..baker?..whichever, they were delish! I also surprised her while we were out with her present..two tickets to see Whitney Houston on Friday. So i am obviously going to be her plus one & accompany her! A little bit excited about this, even though poor Whitney isn't what she used to be..i'm sure it will still be pretty fabulous. We are going to make a day of it and go shopping and for a nice meal beforehand, so it'll be a lovely day, can't wait!

In other news, i mentioned on twitter (if you follow me), that i am going to try out one of each 'Retro Lush' bubble bars, and placed my first order last night. I am just ordering them in the order they appear on the website, excluding Hollywood because it's a fiver and apparently not very nice, i will save it for when i have some extra cash ;)..i don't expect that to be anytime soon though! So, i am now waiting for Aura Suavis, Happy Birthday, Happy & Ice Hotel.

I'm not sure whether or not i will blog about them yet, do people want to see that sort of thing? Or is it boring? Would appreciate it if you let me know, before i start making you all vom with boredom :)

Here are a few obligatory photobooth snaps from Saturday night too, but show my hair & outfit a little better! The dress is absolutely beautiful, the pictures don't show it off very well, but it's from Topshop if you are taken with it! My earrings are from River Island, and my make up is as described in the post below :)

Enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend off, unless you are working like me, in which case i hope it is bearable and you still manage to have a lovely day. I'm going to pop in the bath now & then probably continue with mother birthday spoiling duties, i.e. make her cups of tea.

Keep smiling everybody!

A little bit of last night in pictures.

Sorry for the lack of interaction, but i'm so tired & don't feel like writing very much, so here is some pictures from last night, deliberately leaving out the ones of us necking shots & feeling the burn, hah. Perhaps going to add more when i'm feeling a little more enthusiastic! Hope everyone had fun this weekend xx

Locks.

Sorry, still a little excited that my hair is a different colour & felt the need to share it, silly really but here we are, you can share my excitement as well. Also, i used my macbook to take the pictures, hence the slightly "hi i'm a character from a computer game" kind of look.

Caramel.

I have gone caramel! Here are the before & after pictures; they really don't do the colour justice at all, there are so many different tones in it, some really light & some darker, but you can't tell from my mac camera! I'm so pleased with it.

& After;
