new hair. bleach blonde ombre. can't see too well cos of black & white. 2 HOURS 20MINS LEFT OF BEING A STUDENT!!!!

long time no nothing.

it's been a very long time since i have been on here. i've had a hell of a lot of work to be getting on with, still do, btu because of the work load, i haven't really been up to much so there's been nothing to tak about. when uni is over (not long now) and i have entered the real world, this blog is something i am definitely going to get up & running (along with my guitar, driving lessons & a cookery course!)

one thing i have been to is my Aunty & Uncle's wedding. they've been together for 27 years & haven't got married yet, so i was verrry excited when they finally did. :)

to the wedding i wore a Warehouse dress (quite old) & a Topshop blazer (£45) & accesorised it all with my dashing boyfriend, Ben :)

to the reception (which was like a British street party, lots of bunting etc) i wore Topshop vest (£18), same Topshop blazer (£45), Newlook black skinny jeans (£25) & Newlook leopard print platform ankle boots (old) & lots of silver & turquoise jewellery.

well, until all my work is done & i have time to do something interesting enoughto blog about, bye!

Deliveries!

on new years eve, i had ordered several things from River Island, Zara & ASOS.com. i knew they wouldn't come immediately, but i was a bit miffed at my wait. anyways, today, my stuff from River Island arrived;

first off were a pair of black, leopard print harem pants. you can't see the leopard print here, but it isn't massively apparent in real life anyhow, just a nice shiney pattern. i'm impressed with these because i haven't really found many pairs that i think look ok on me, but i think these ones look ok!

teamed with black bandeau top from Miss Selfridge (£10), Love Hearts & Crosses skull cameo (£12) & my New Look leopard print boots.

secondly was a leopard print dress. now, on the website it advertised it as a "skater dress". well, it's not. it's more of a vintage cut & due to that, i could have done with getting a size smaller, but with a belt, it works ok. it's 100% polyester, which is gonna be warm, but it makes the dress hang really well. teamed with Topshop black leggings (£12) & New Look beige platform heels.

now waiting for my ASOS leather panel leggings & my Zara cat blouse!

also, i had my hair coloured before New Year & got absolutely conned. i was over charged an extraordinary amount, the colour was left on too long & so went too dark, then my blonde piece wasn't properly dyed so is now coming through & after just over week of having it; it's back to it's natural colour pretty much instead of the Paloma Faith shade it was meant to be! i was not impressed. but oh well, it looks fine so it will just have to do!

8 months =

the amount of time since i've been on this. wow. well. my friend said to me, a couple of days ago, that i should get a blog. i replied saying i already had, two infacts, but that i never use them as i don't feel like i have much to say. but i'm gonna give it a go. call it a new years resolution.

hairdresser humiliation

just got back from my haircut. haven't actually had my hair cut in over a year & over that period of time i've gone from dark red back to my natural colour, which needed a hell of a lot of bleach. anhyhow, basically, my hair is fucked. my hairdresser is amazed i still have hair. but she gave me a sample of a repair mask that i should use every 3 days; Wella System Professional Repair Mask 3. got a bottle which should last me til the loan comes through then BAM, i'm buying me the whole range!
also, i learnt something i didn't know btu everyone SHOULD KNOW. the hair masks/intensive conditioners that such brands as Herbal Essences & Loreal makes: only use 2-3 times a week. do not think that, even if you ahve the dryest hair, that you can use it in replacement of your normal conditioner. because you can't. they are full of protien & too much will just make your hair brittle.

Amazing

i adore everything about this woman.
